CLODINO SUPER is a selective, post-emergent herbicide.1 It contains Clodinafop-propargyl 15% WP (Wettable Powder) as its active ingredient. This herbicide is specifically designed to control grass weeds in broadleaf crops, particularly Phalaris minor (littleseed canarygrass) and wild oats in wheat.2
Key features and benefits:
Selective action: CLODINO SUPER effectively controls grass weeds while being safe for broadleaf crops like wheat.3
Systemic action: It is absorbed by the weeds through their leaves and translocated to their growing points, effectively inhibiting their growth.4
Targeted weed control: It specifically targets grass weeds like Phalaris minor and wild oats, which are major problems in wheat cultivation.5
Fast action: Visible effects on weeds can be seen within 48 hours of application.6
No soil activity: CLODINO SUPER is rapidly degraded in the soil, leaving little to no residual activity.7 This means there are no restrictions on subsequent cropping.8
Environmentally friendly: It has low toxicity to mammals, birds, and aquatic organisms.
Mode of action:
Clodinafop-propargyl is an aryloxyphenoxypropionate (AOPP) herbicide that inhibits Acetyl CoA Carboxylase (ACCase), an enzyme crucial for fatty acid synthesis in plants.9 This disruption of lipid biosynthesis leads to the death of the grass weeds.10
Recommended crops:
CLODINO SUPER is primarily recommended for use in wheat to control Phalaris minor and wild oats.11
Application:
CLODINO SUPER is a wettable powder (WP) formulation.12 It should be diluted with water according to the recommended dosage and applied as a post-emergence foliar spray.13
Timing: Apply when the majority of grass weeds have emerged and are actively growing (2-3 leaf stage).14
Conditions: Ideal application conditions are warm and moist.15
Rainfall: Avoid application if rainfall is expected within 2 hours.16
Always refer to the product label for specific instructions.
Safety precautions:
Always wear protective clothing, including gloves and a mask, when handling CLODINO SUPER.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Keep out of reach of children and animals.
Do not apply near water bodies to prevent contamination.
Avoid spray drift to non-target plants.
Important Note:
Always follow the recommended dosage and application instructions provided on the product label. For specific queries or concerns, consult an agricultural expert or contact HPM India directly.
