Luximo®
To be used as part of an IPM strategy, Luximo® is a cornerstone for black-grass and Italian ryegrass control in winter wheat and spring barley, whilst delivering comparable control against bromes as current residual market standards.
Luximo®’s proven performance makes it an ideal foundation for herbicide programmes for those with any level of black-grass and ryegrass.
Luximo® is available as Luxinum® Plus + Stomp® Aqua.
Protect your profits from the hidden costs of grassweeds
Grassweeds are costing growers in both lost yield and seed return year after year, no matter the pressure. Take away the guesswork and calculate how much Luximo® could be saving you this autumn..

Why thousands of growers choosing Luximo®
Why Luximo®?
Unique mode of action
Luximo® (cinmethylin) has a completely new mode of action. It is classified by the Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC) as an inhibitor of fatty acid thioesterase (group 30).
Luximo® inhibits cell membrane production in the weed, meaning the weed can no longer grow.
In the field, root and shoot growth of sensitive plants is inhibited and often the weeds never emerge. Where they do merge, leaves show yellowing and discolouration, before the plant withers and dies.
This novel mode of action enables Luximo® to work against even resistant biotypes, making it possible to break the vicious cycle of black-grass reproduction.
New standard for black-grass control
Luximo® delivers superior performance to current market standards and is inherently stronger than flufenacet against black-grass.
Across 106 UK pre-emergence black-grass trials over four years, across different soil types and pressure, solo Luximo® gave an extra 22 percentage points of control over solo flufenacet.
Across 56 UK pre-emergence black-grass trials across three years, Luximo® plus pendimethalin and diflufenican outperformed Liberator (flufenacet + diflufenican) + aclonifen by an average of 12.5 percentage points in control.
New standard for Italian ryegrass control
Luximo® delivers superior performance to current market standards and is inherently stronger than flufenacet against ryegrass.
Across 17 UK pre-emergence ryegrass trials over four years, solo Luximo® gave an extra 29 percentage points of control over solo flufenacet.
Ideal mix of chemical properties
Luximo® is primarily taken up by the roots of weeds and its ideal combination of chemical properties helps get it where it needs to be, and keep it there long enough to get the job done.
Reliable application
All soil residual herbicides require sufficient soil moisture to be activated. However, due to its chemical properties, Luximo® requires less moisture to ‘activate’ than flufenacet.
Whilst impossible to accurately predict since heavy dew can provide some moisture, as a rough guide, only 3mm of rainfall would be needed over a 5 day period to activate Luximo® whilst 7mm would be needed to activate flufenacet, providing a more reliable application.
More sustainable yields
Luximo® is manufactured from more than 50% sustainable materials, such as tree resin and by-products of paper manufacture, enabling increased yields in a more sustainable way.
If grass weeds could be there, there is a battle to be won
Wherever black-grass and Italian ryegrass pose a threat, there is a need for action. No matter the weed count in that field, the threat to yields, profits and long-term planning must be challenged effectively.
The escalation of a small number of plants into an infestation can be devastating for a farm business and can result in drastic action. Wherever there is evidence of black-grass or Italian ryegrass, maintain control by using the best available chemistry as part of a comprehensive IPM game plan.
