HPM Clodino Super (Clodinafop-propargyl 15% WP Herbicide)

HPM Clodino Super is a next-generation selective herbicide specially formulated for effective post-emergence control of grassy weeds in wheat crops. Powered by Clodinafop-propargyl 15% WP, it targets and controls Phalaris minor and wild oats, ensuring a clean and healthy wheat field. The herbicide works by being absorbed through the leaves of grass weeds, halting their growth within 48 hours. It degrades quickly in soil, leaving no residues and no restrictions on subsequent crop rotations.

Key benefits

Provides highly effective post-emergence control of grassy weeds in wheat crops.
Acts quickly – halts weed growth within 48 hours of application.
Rapid soil degradation ensures no harmful residues and no soil activity.

Mode of action

Clodinafop-propargyl inhibits the enzyme acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACCase), essential for fatty acid synthesis in grasses. This stops the production of vital lipids required for cell growth and division, leading to chlorosis, necrosis, and eventual death of susceptible grass weeds within 1–3 weeks of application.
