Clodinafop-propargyl 8% EC is a post-emergence
herbicide that is used to control grass weeds in various crops, including wheat, barley, and
rice. It is formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate (EC) for easy mixing and
application.
How does Clodinafop-propargyl 8% EC work?
Clodinafop-propargyl 8%
EC works by inhibiting the enzyme acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) in grass weeds, which is
essential for fatty acid biosynthesis. This leads to the disruption of cell membrane
formation and ultimately results in the death of the weed.
What are the key benefits
of using Clodinafop-propargyl 8% EC?
- Effective control of grass weeds such as
ryegrass, brome grass, and wild oats
- Selective herbicide that allows for use in a wide
