플루폭삼(flupoxam) 과립수화제는 새포아풀, 바랭이 등의 일년생 화본과 및 광엽잡초에 대해 95%이상의 방제효과를 나타냈다. 약효는 2kg ha^(-1)에서 3~4월 처리의 경우 120일 이상, 9~10월에 처리할 경우 180일 이상 지속된다. 또한 토양흡착성이 높기 때문에 안전한 처리층이 형성되고 예초후 잔디 찌꺼기(thatch) 유무에 관계없이 잡초방제 효과가 100%이었다. 기존의 잔디용 제초제(디니트로아니린계, 피리딘계, 카바메이트계) 등과는 다른 새로운 작용기작을 가지고 있어 약제의 교호살포에 효과적이다. 주변 조경수에는 일부를 제외하고는 이상증상이 없었다.The water dispersible granule flupoxam showed over 95% of weeding effect on the
annual weeds of Poaceae such as Poa annua L., Digitaria ciliaris (Rets.) Koel and broad-leaf weeds.
Efficacy of treatment had been lasted over 120 days in the 2kg ha^(-1) when it was treated from March
to April while lasted over 180 days when it was treated from September to October. Because the
flupoxam has a high soil absorptivity, a perfected herbicide layer is formed. This results in perfect
weeding effect regardless of the presence or absence of thatch. Because the flupoxam has a different
mechanism of action from the conventional herbicides such as dinitroanilines, pyridines, and
carbamates, it is very effective with the alternative spray. Phytotoxicity symptoms was not observed
and/or produced antocyan in new leaves in the landscape trees around the lawngrass by flupoxam
treatment.
