Clodinafop-Propargyl 240g/L + Cloquintocet-Mexyl 60g/L EC Herbicide

Clodinafop-Propargyl 240g/L + Cloquintocet-Mexyl 60g/L EC Herbicide – Selective Grass Weed Control for Wheat

Unlike ordinary grass weed herbicides, Clodinafop-Propargyl 240g/L + Cloquintocet-Mexyl 60g/L EC is engineered for maximum selectivity and crop safety. Clodinafop-Propargyl belongs to the aryloxyphenoxypropionate family and works by inhibiting the Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase (ACCase) enzyme, an essential component of lipid synthesis in grass weeds. This disrupts the weed’s cell growth process, stopping development within hours after application.

However, what sets this formulation apart is the inclusion of Cloquintocet-Mexyl, a trusted safener that protects wheat and barley from any unintended phytotoxic effects. This safener accelerates the crop’s natural metabolic breakdown of Clodinafop-Propargyl, ensuring that only target grass weeds are affected while the crop remains healthy and vigorous.

The result is a powerful post-emergence solution that knocks down annual grass weeds quickly and keeps working with residual control. From wild oats and Italian ryegrass to barnyardgrass and canarygrass, the broad spectrum makes this herbicide a valuable tool for farmers who need reliable performance and a wide application window.

Combined with POMAIS’s flexible supply chain, OEM packaging, and full technical support, this herbicide is designed to help you secure a stable market share in the competitive grass weed control sector.

Mode of Action & Safener Function

Clodinafop-Propargyl acts as a selective ACCase inhibitor, targeting the Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase enzyme that is vital for fatty acid synthesis in grass weeds. When this enzyme is blocked, the weeds can no longer produce essential lipids required for cell membrane integrity and new tissue growth. As a result, treated grass weeds stop growing within hours of application. Visible symptoms such as yellowing and leaf wilting follow within days, leading to complete weed death within two to three weeks, depending on conditions.

What makes this formulation different is its built-in Cloquintocet-Mexyl component, which serves as an effective crop safener. Cloquintocet-Mexyl enhances the wheat or barley plant’s natural metabolic processes, allowing the crop to rapidly break down Clodinafop-Propargyl residues without damage. This selective metabolism ensures that while grass weeds are controlled aggressively, the crop remains unharmed even under variable field conditions.

By combining an ACCase-inhibiting active with a trusted safener, this herbicide provides reliable weed control across diverse climates and weed pressure levels. It also plays a key role in resistance management programs by targeting grass weeds that have developed tolerance to older herbicide groups, helping maintain long-term field performance and stable yields.

Tank Mix Compatibility & Precautions

Clodinafop-Propargyl 240g/L + Cloquintocet-Mexyl 60g/L EC is designed to integrate easily into your farm’s weed management program. Its compatibility with many broadleaf herbicides allows for flexible programs that deliver both grass and broadleaf weed control without compromising safety or efficacy.

Common Compatible Tank Mix Partners

• Clodinafop-Propargyl + Fenoxaprop-P-Ethyl: For fields with heavy grass weed pressure or multiple grass species. This combination broadens the grass weed control spectrum.
• Clodinafop-Propargyl + Metsulfuron-Methyl: Often used when broadleaf weeds are present alongside grass weeds. Apply sequentially or as a planned tank mix where local guidelines allow.

Important Precautions

• Avoid Mixing with Acidic Herbicides: Do not tank mix Clodinafop-Propargyl directly with strongly acidic herbicides like 2,4-D or Dicamba. These can reduce the performance of the ACCase inhibitor and potentially cause crop injury.
• Use Sequential Applications: For best results in broad-spectrum weed control, apply grass and broadleaf herbicides sequentially rather than in the same tank, unless your local agronomic guide confirms safe combinations.
• Jar Test Before Large Mixing: Always perform a small jar test when using unfamiliar product combinations. This helps detect any physical incompatibility or emulsion separation before field mixing.
• Maintain Clean Spray Equipment: Residues from other herbicides in the tank can affect spray quality or cause unintended crop injury. Flush sprayers thoroughly between herbicide applications.
• Follow Label Recommendations: Local labels may provide specific guidance on tank mixes, water pH adjustments, adjuvants, or buffer intervals. Always check local regulations to avoid off-label use.

Additional Tips for Best Results

• Ensure the spray solution is agitated continuously to keep the emulsion stable.
• Use high-quality water and maintain the recommended spray volume for full weed coverage.
• Monitor weather conditions. Avoid spraying when high winds may cause drift onto non-target crops.

By following these compatibility and safety guidelines, you get the maximum benefit from your Clodinafop-Propargyl herbicide while protecting your wheat or barley from unintended damage.

Field Use Scenarios for Wheat & Barley

Growers across different wheat and barley regions rely on Clodinafop-Propargyl + Cloquintocet-Mexyl EC for its consistent performance under varying field conditions. Here are some practical scenarios showing how this herbicide works best in the real world.

Scenario 1: Early-Season Wild Oat Infestation

In northern wheat belts, wild oats can emerge rapidly in cool, moist soil, competing with young wheat plants for nutrients and light. Farmers typically apply Clodinafop-Propargyl between the 2- and 4-leaf stage of wild oats when weeds are actively growing. This early post-emergence timing ensures fast uptake and translocation, leading to visible yellowing and wilting within days. A single application helps minimize the need for repeat passes and prevents yield losses.

Scenario 2: Mixed Ryegrass and Foxtail Pressure

In regions with diverse weed populations, growers often face mixed infestations of Italian ryegrass and foxtail species. Here, Clodinafop-Propargyl is integrated into an IWM (Integrated Weed Management) program. Applied post-emergence, the herbicide’s ACCase inhibition stops both species quickly. When needed, a compatible broadleaf herbicide is applied sequentially to tackle dicot weeds, ensuring the field stays clean throughout tillering.

Scenario 3: Fields with Herbicide-Resistant Grasses

Where repeated use of older herbicides has led to grass weed resistance, Clodinafop-Propargyl’s distinct mode of action plays a critical role. For growers managing resistant ryegrass, especially in no-till or conservation agriculture systems, this herbicide provides an effective rotation partner to break resistance cycles. The Cloquintocet-Mexyl safener ensures the wheat crop remains unaffected even when maximum label rates are used to suppress difficult infestations.

Scenario 4: Late Rain and New Weed Flush

In some areas, unexpected late rain can trigger a second flush of grass weeds. Because Clodinafop-Propargyl has residual suppression, it continues to protect the crop for 2–3 weeks after spraying. If pressure remains high, farmers can safely integrate a follow-up pass using a compatible grass or broadleaf herbicide, applied according to local best practice.

By adapting application timing and tank mixes to local weed pressure, growers can rely on Clodinafop-Propargyl 240g/L + Cloquintocet-Mexyl 60g/L EC to deliver efficient, selective grass weed control while preserving crop safety and yield potential.
