Whether it's a lush golf course or a vibrant yard, weeds are unwelcome invaders. This is especially true of annual broadleaf and grassy weeds, which not only detract from the aesthetics, but also damage the plant's growing environment.
Oxadiazon is a potent herbicide designed to control a wide range of annual broadleaf and grassy weeds both pre- and post-emergence. Since its introduction, Oxadiazon has become popular for its excellent weed control and wide range of applications. Whether on golf courses, sports fields, playgrounds, industrial sites and turf farms, Oxadiazon is the best-selling herbicide.

Oxadiazon offers several advantages that make it ideal for lawn and landscape maintenance.
Seasonal control
A single pre-emergence application of Oxadiazon provides weed control throughout the season, reducing the frequency and cost of maintenance.
No damage to turf roots
Oxadiazon does not inhibit the growth or recovery of turf roots, making it particularly suitable for spring applications without damaging labeled ornamentals.
Stabilization of Oxadiazon
Oxadiazon's stabilized liquid formulation allows for early application weeks before weeds and grasses germinate, giving it a significant advantage in weed control.
Oxadiazon for Sensitive Grasses
Oxadiazon is also an ideal choice for some sensitive grasses. Its specific chemical properties make it effective in controlling weeds without damaging the turf.
Oxadiazon belongs to the chemical class that inhibits protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) — a key enzyme in chlorophyll and carotenoid biosynthesis in plants.
Mechanism in brief:
Because of this mode of action, Oxadiazon 250 g/L EC is particularly effective when applied before weed seed germination (pre-emergence) or in early weed germination stages, rather than on well-established weeds.
Oxadiazon is widely used in all kinds of commercial places, its effect is remarkable and favored by users. The following are some of the main applications:
Golf courses and sports grounds
Where the neatness of the grass directly affects the user experience, Oxadiazon ensures that the grass is weed-free, allowing athletes to perform at their best.
Playgrounds and roadsides
At playgrounds and roadsides, where weeds not only detract from aesthetics, but can also pose a danger to children and pedestrians, Oxadiazon is used to ensure that playgrounds and roadsides are safe and aesthetically pleasing.
Industrial sites
At industrial sites, where weeds can interfere with the normal operation of equipment, Oxadiazon is used to effectively control the growth of weeds at industrial sites, ensuring that production runs smoothly.
Use of Oxadiazon on turf farms
Turf farms face the challenge of weed infestation and Oxadiazon provides the perfect solution. With a single pre-emergence application, Oxadiazon controls weeds throughout the season, keeping turf farms tidy and productive.
Oxadiazon in Ornamentals and Landscapes
Oxadiazon is not only for lawns, but is also effective on a wide variety of ornamentals and landscape plants. It does not inhibit the growth or recovery of turf roots, ensuring healthy plant growth.

What types of weeds does Oxadiazon 250 g/L EC control?
It controls many common annual grasses (barnyardgrass, sedges, Echinochloa, Cyperus) and key broadleaf weeds when applied pre-emergence or early post-emergence, depending on crop and local label.
When should I spray Oxadiazon?
For best results, apply before weed seed germination (pre-emergence) or in early weed seedling stage. For paddy rice, application shortly after transplanting or before direct seeding is common. Follow water management and label instructions.
Is Oxadiazon systemic?
No. Oxadiazon is a soil-active, contact-type herbicide operating via PPO inhibition; it acts on weed seedlings during germination — it does not translocate systemically.
Can I use Oxadiazon on turf and ornamental landscapes?
Yes — when label allows, especially for established turf, ornamentals and nursery crops. It is widely used in turf, landscape nurseries and ornamental settings for pre-emergence weed control.
Is it safe for aquatic life?
No. Oxadiazon is harmful to aquatic organisms. Application near water bodies, drainage ditches or aquaculture ponds must be avoided; runoff and spray drift must be strictly controlled.
