Clareo Herbicide (2,4-D Amine Salt 58% SL) – Expert Broadleaf Weed Control
Trust Coromandel’s Clareo for powerful, systemic control of tough weeds in Wheat, Maize, Sugarcane, and Sorghum.
Clareo is a specialized selective herbicide designed to protect your cereal and plantation crops from broadleaf weeds and sedges. Formulated as a 58% Soluble Liquid (SL), it uses 2,4-D Amine Salt technology to provide a safer, low-volatility solution compared to older ester formulations. Whether you are battling Bathua in wheat or Motha in sugarcane, Clareo delivers deep-root kill while keeping your main crop safe.
Best For: Farmers seeking a cost-effective, "generic-plus" solution with the reliability of the "Gromor" brand.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Systemic Action: Absorbed through leaves and moves swiftly to the roots, ensuring the weed is killed from the inside out.
- ?️Crop Selectivity: Specifically designed to target broadleaf weeds without harming grass crops like Wheat, Maize, and Sorghum when used at the right stage.
- ⏳Deep Root Control: Highly effective against perennial weeds and sedges (like Cyperus/Motha) by destroying their underground regenerative tissues.
- ?️Low Volatility Safety: The Amine Salt formulation minimizes vapor drift, reducing the risk of accidental damage to nearby sensitive crops like Cotton compared to ester types.
- ?Versatile Application: Proven efficacy in field crops, non-crop areas (industrial sites), and even for aquatic weed management (Water Hyacinth).

How It Works: Mode of Action
Clareo acts as a Synthetic Auxin, mimicking the plant's natural growth hormones but at a lethal overdose.
- Absorption: Upon spraying, the active ingredient penetrates the leaves and travels systemically through the phloem (food pipe) to the roots.
- Disruption: It triggers uncontrolled, chaotic cell division and growth, blocking the plant's vascular system.
- Elimination: The weed literally "grows itself to death," resulting in stem twisting (epinasty), wilting, and complete necrosis within 7–14 days.
Note: Grass crops (monocots) like wheat are safe because they can metabolize and detoxify the chemical rapidly, unlike broadleaf weeds.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Wheat | Chenopodium (Bathua), Melilotus (Senji), Fumaria (Gajri), Convolvulus (Hiran Khuri) |
| Maize & Sorghum | Trianthema (Carpet weed), Amaranthus, Striga (suppression), Cyperus (Motha) |
| Sugarcane & Non-Crop | Cyperus Rotundus (Motha), Parthenium (Gajar Ghas), Water Hyacinth |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wheat | 300 - 500 ml | 150 - 200 L | 2.0 - 2.5 ml | 90+ |
| Maize / Sorghum | 350 - 600 ml | 200 L | 2.0 - 3.0 ml | Label Specific |
| Sugarcane | 300 - 1200 ml | 200 - 300 L | 2.0 - 4.0 ml | - |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. *Non-Crop Areas use 600-1000 ml/acre.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing (Wheat): Apply strictly 30-35 Days After Sowing (DAS). Do NOT apply after the jointing stage to avoid earhead deformity.
- Timing (Maize): Apply when the crop is 8-10 inches tall. Avoid spraying directly into the leaf whorl.
- Mixing: Use Flat Fan or Flood Jet nozzles to create coarse droplets. Avoid fine mist to prevent drift.
- Safety: This product causes severe eye irritation. Always wear tight-fitting chemical goggles and gloves during mixing and spraying.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I use Clareo near Cotton or Pulses?
No. Cotton, grapes, and pulses are extremely sensitive to 2,4-D. Even slight drift can cause severe damage. Ensure wind is low and blowing away from sensitive crops.
2. What is the difference between Clareo and Ester formulations?
Clareo uses "Amine Salt" which is low-volatile (doesn't vaporize easily). Ester formulations are high-volatile and risk damaging neighboring crops through vapor drift.
3. Can I mix Clareo with other herbicides?
Yes, it is often mixed with Clodinafop (Skipper) for wheat to control both grasses and broadleaf weeds. Always perform a small jar test first to ensure compatibility.
4. How long does it take to see results?
Visual symptoms like twisting of stems (epinasty) appear within 24 hours. Complete death of the weed usually takes 7 to 14 days.
5. Is there an antidote for accidental poisoning?
There is no specific antidote. Treatment is symptomatic. In severe cases, medical professionals use alkaline diuresis to help excrete the poison.
