Fluroxypyr-meptyl ester [1-methylheptyl 2-(4-amino-3,5-dichloro-6-fluoro-2-pyridyloxy)acetate] represents the gold standard in post-emergence selective broadleaf weed control for global cereal crop production systems.
Belonging to HRAC Group 4 (formerly Group O), Fluroxypyr-meptyl mimics endogenous plant growth hormones (auxins). Upon foliage absorption, the meptyl ester undergoes rapid enzymatic hydrolysis into active fluroxypyr acid, inducing deregulated cell division and vascular collapse in target weeds.
Exhibits exceptional acropetal and basipetal translocation via plant vascular networks. It rapidly accumulates in the growing points and meristematic tissues of aggressive broadleaf weeds, stopping nutrient competition within hours of application.
Monocotyledonous crops such as wheat, barley, maize, and triticale possess intrinsic metabolic pathways that rapidly conjugate fluroxypyr acid into non-toxic metabolites, ensuring zero crop injury even at elevated dose rates.
China accounts for over 78% of global Fluroxypyr technical synthesis capacity. Understanding raw material precursor trends (3,5,6-trichloropyridin-2-ol and fluorination chemistry) is critical for strategic sourcing.

Technical production is primarily centered in Jiangsu, Shandong, and Hebei chemical parks. Modern continuous-flow fluorination reactors and closed-loop solvent recycling systems have drastically optimized conversion yields while reducing environmental compliance risks. Awiner Biotech leverages long-term raw material integration to ensure pricing stability against upstream pyridine chemical fluctuations.
When evaluating China suppliers, buyers must verify free acid levels (kept < 0.5% to prevent crystallisation and corrosion), moisture content (< 0.3%), and low-temperature emulsification stability at 0°C. High quality formulations must prevent phase separation in hard water conditions up to 342 ppm (WHO standard) and 1000 ppm extreme field conditions.
Tailored intervention strategies for broadleaf weed management across diverse agro-ecological zones globally.
Fluroxypyr-meptyl delivers unrivaled control over Galium aparine (Cleavers), which causes lodging and harvesting mechanical blockage. Optimal application timing spans from the 2-leaf stage up to the flag-leaf fully unfolded stage (BBCH 12–39), providing an exceptionally wide application window.
In post-emergence corn protection, Fluroxypyr-meptyl efficiently suppresses troublesome vines like Convolvulus arvensis, Polygonum convolvulus, and nightshades without inducing plant brittleness or goosenecking associated with high-dose dicamba applications.
Eliminates high-impact broadleaf invasive species such as Rumex spp. (Docks) and woody brush in established pastures without damaging valuable forage grasses like ryegrass or fescue, thereby preserving total forage yield and nutritional value.
Transitioning from traditional high-VOC solvent emulsifiable concentrates to eco-friendly, green chemistry systems.
Traditional Fluroxypyr-meptyl 200g/L EC formulations rely heavily on C9-C10 aromatic hydrocarbon solvents (Xylene/Solvesso 100). Awiner Biotech's formulation laboratories have engineered green solvent alternatives utilizing Vegetable Oil Methyl Esters (Biodiesel) and Micro-Emulsions (ME).
Established in 2006, delivering premier crop protection and technical solutions to international agrochemical markets.
Awiner Biotech was founded in 2006, located in north of China-Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province. The city is close to our capital Beijing, transportation is convenient. Awiner Biotech is committed to research, produce and distribute agrochemicals. mainly deal with pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, plant growth regulator and public health pesticides.
Up to now, we have win customers from Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Libya, Syria, Turkey, Yemen, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Chile, Bolivia, Mexico, Brazil, Paraguay, Nigeria, Djibouti, Rwanda, Somalia, Malaysia, Cambodia, Nepal, Myanmar and so on.
Our countries participating in the exhibition are Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, Nigeria, Russia, Cambodia, Malaysia, Uzbekistan, etc. We go to the customer's country to conduct market inspections, analyze and solve problems for them, understand their product usage, and customers will also visit us.
To ensure effortless market entry for global distributors, Awiner Biotech provides full regulatory support services including ICAMA documentation, Certificate of Analysis (COA), MSDS, Certificate of Origin (Form E, Form F), and FAO standard toxicological dossiers. We offer customized packaging solutions ranging from 100mL aluminum bottles for retail up to 200L fluorinated HDPE drums and flexitanks for industrial re-formulators.
Expert technical responses to key sourcing, compatibility, and field application queries.
Fluroxypyr-meptyl pricing is governed by three primary parameters: (1) Upstream key intermediate costs, specifically 3,5,6-trichloropyridin-2-ol and potassium fluoride fluorination inputs; (2) Regional environmental audit compliance enforcement in industrial chemical zones; (3) Foreign exchange fluctuations (USD/RMB) and international ocean freight rates. Awiner Biotech provides locked-in quarterly supply agreements for long-term contract partners.
While phenoxy herbicides like MCPA and 2,4-D provide economical broad-spectrum control, Fluroxypyr-meptyl offers superior crop safety at earlier and later growth stages (up to flag leaf emergence) without risk of ear distortion or onion-leafing. Furthermore, Fluroxypyr-meptyl delivers far superior control over hard-to-kill Galium aparine (Cleavers) and works effectively in cooler spring temperatures down to 7°C.
Yes. Fluroxypyr-meptyl demonstrates excellent tank-mix physical and biological compatibility with graminicides such as Clodinafop-propargyl, Fenoxaprop-P-ethyl, and Pinoxaden. However, when mixing with ACCase inhibitors, it is recommended to add a suitable non-ionic adjuvant to prevent antagonism under severe drought stress conditions.
For custom retail packaging (e.g., 100mL to 1L branded bottles), our standard MOQ is 1,000 Litres. For bulk technical chemical export or 200L drums, MOQ starts at 500kg / 1,000L. Lead time from order confirmation, formulation quality testing, and COEX bottle customized printing to port delivery at Tianjin or Shanghai is typically 15 to 25 days.
Due to rapid microbial degradation in aerobic soils (half-life DT50 < 23 days), Fluroxypyr-meptyl has no rotational crop restrictions for winter or spring crops following cereal harvest. Pre-harvest interval (PHI) for cereal grain harvest is generally 45 days.
