Fluazifop is the common name used by the ISO[3] for an organic compound that is used as a selective herbicide.[4] The active ingredient is the 2R enantiomer at its chiral centre and this material is known as fluazifop-P when used in that form. More commonly, it is sold as its butyl ester, fluazifop-P butyl with the brand name Fusilade.
