Flamprop is a selective post-emergent herbicide, used in Australia on wheat and triticale. [2] It is an arylalanine. [1] Flamprop was introduced circa 1974, with some variants coming a few years later. [1] Flamprop comes in several chemical variants, including flamprop, flamprop-methyl, flamprop-isopropyl, flamprop-M, flamprop-M-methyl, and flamprop-M-isopropyl. [3] The information in the right hand side box is accurate for basic flamprop.

All flamprop variants are HRAC Group Z or 0, as the mode of action is unknown. It is suspected to be the prevention of cell elongation. [1]

In Australia, flamprop is sold as a 90 g/L concentrate, and applied at 112-225 g/Ha. [2]
