Frontier 200 OD

FRONTIER 200 OD Herbicide

FRONTIER 200 OD is a selective post-emergence herbicide for dry-direct-seeded rice, formulated to control susceptible weeds that compete with rice plants for nutrients, water, sunlight, and growing space.

Its dual-active formulation contains Cyhalofop-butyl 150 g/L + Bispyribac-sodium 50 g/L, giving a combined total active ingredient concentration of 200 g/L. Philippine agricultural pesticide records identify Frontier 200 OD for direct-seeded rice and list grasses, sedges, and broadleaf weeds among its target weed groups.

How FRONTIER 200 OD Works

FRONTIER 200 OD combines two herbicidal active ingredients with complementary weed-control activity.

Cyhalofop-butyl is primarily used for the control of susceptible grass weeds in rice, while bispyribac-sodium provides activity against additional susceptible grass, sedge, and broadleaf weeds.

The combination allows Frontier 200 OD to provide broader weed-management activity than a product relying on only one of these active ingredients.
