Overview
OXYKILL® is a selective contact herbicide from Dhanuka Agritech Limited, formulated with Oxyfluorfen 23.5% EC.
It can be used for pre-emergence as well as targeted post-emergence weed management. When used before weeds emerge, Oxykill forms a chemical barrier near the soil surface. When applied to young, actively growing weeds, it provides contact activity and rapidly damages susceptible weed tissues.

About the Product
OXYKILL contains Oxyfluorfen, a diphenyl-ether herbicide that acts primarily through contact activity.
As a pre-emergence herbicide, it creates a treated zone at the soil surface that affects susceptible weeds as they emerge. As a post-emergence herbicide, young actively growing weeds are particularly susceptible to the treatment.
Key Features
- Contains Oxyfluorfen 23.5% EC.
- Selective contact herbicide.
- Provides pre-emergence weed control.
- Provides targeted post-emergence activity.
- Controls annual broadleaf weeds.
- Controls some grassy weeds.
- Suppresses certain perennial weeds.
- Forms a chemical barrier on the soil surface.
- Particularly effective on young, actively growing weeds.
- Light is essential for its herbicidal activity.
- Suitable for several registered agricultural crops.
Recommended Crops & Target Weeds
Recommended Crops
- Onion
- Tea
- Potato
- Groundnut
- Direct-Seeded Rice
- Mint
Target Weeds
OXYKILL is used against:
- Annual broadleaf weeds
- Some annual grasses
- Certain perennial weeds
The exact weed spectrum varies by crop and should be checked against the current product label.
Application Guidelines
Application Method
Apply OXYKILL as a ground-level spray according to the crop-specific recommendation.
For post-emergence use, target young, actively growing weeds and ensure appropriate spray coverage.
Recommended Dosage
Published product information gives a general application range of:
450–850 ml in 500 litres of water
Equivalent reference concentration:
0.9–1.7 ml/L
For a 15-litre spray pump, this corresponds approximately to:
13.5–25.5 ml per 15 L
The exact dose should be selected according to the registered crop, weed species and current product label.
Best Application Stage
Pre-Emergence
Apply according to the registered crop recommendation before weed emergence to establish the herbicidal barrier in the soil surface.
Post-Emergence
Apply when weeds are young and actively growing.
Good soil preparation and uniform application are important for effective pre-emergence performance.
Mode of Action
Oxyfluorfen inhibits the enzyme protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO).
This causes the accumulation of phototoxic compounds in susceptible weed tissues. In the presence of light, these compounds generate reactive oxygen species that damage cell membranes, resulting in rapid tissue destruction and weed death.
Therefore, sunlight is essential for the herbicidal activity of Oxyfluorfen.
Action Sequence
Oxyfluorfen application → PPO inhibition → Phototoxic compound accumulation → Light activation → Cell membrane damage → Weed desiccation & death
