Abstract
This document focuses on registered chemicals for cane quality management, specifically Fusilade Forte and other trade names. It provides information on the chemical composition of Fusilade Forte, which contains fluazifop-p-butyl as the active ingredient. The document explains the mode of action of fluazifop-p-butyl, which disrupts stalk growth by converting to a more active acid form and translocating to the stalk apical meristem. It emphasizes that Fusilade Forte is a selective herbicide, targeting grass species without affecting broadleaf plants. The document also highlights the need to prevent contaminated water from flowing into rivers and dams due to the chemical's toxicity to fish.
