Clinton Herbicide by Crystal Crop Protection: Complete Weed Eradication Solution
Eliminate stubborn weeds from the root with the power of systemic Glyphosate technology.
Clinton Herbicide is a premium non-selective, systemic weed killer designed by Crystal Crop Protection Ltd. Unlike manual weeding, which leaves roots behind, Clinton penetrates the plant system to destroy deep-rooted perennials and annual weeds. Whether you are managing tea plantations, cleaning field bunds, or preparing a "stale seedbed" for sowing, Clinton provides a cost-effective, labor-saving solution to keep your land weed-free.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Total Root Kill: Translocates from leaves to roots, destroying underground rhizomes and tubers to prevent regrowth.
- ?️Broad-Spectrum Control: Effectively eliminates tough weeds like Motha (Nutsedge), Hariali (Bermuda Grass), and Parthenium.
- ⏳Cost-Effective: Reduces weed management costs by up to 70% compared to manual labor while ensuring longer-lasting results.
- ?️Soil Safe: The chemical becomes inactive upon contact with soil, allowing you to sow seeds just 7-10 days after application.
- ?Versatile Variants: Available in Clinton (41%), Speed (54%), and Plus variants to suit different weed intensities and water conditions.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Clinton acts as a "Source-to-Sink" systemic herbicide. It does not burn the leaves immediately but travels deep into the plant's system.

- Absorption & Translocation: Sprayed onto green foliage, the active ingredient is absorbed and moves via the phloem to active growing points and roots.
- Enzyme Blockade: It targets and inhibits the EPSP synthase enzyme, which is vital for producing essential amino acids (proteins) in the plant.
- Systemic Collapse: Starved of proteins, the weed stops growing within 3 days. Yellowing starts in 7 days, and complete root death occurs within 14-21 days.
Note: Clinton Speed (54%) accelerates this process, showing results faster due to higher concentration.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop / Use Case | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Tea Plantations & Orchards | Imperata cylindrica, Polygonum, Broadleaf weeds |
| Non-Crop Areas (Bunds) | Parthenium, Bermuda Grass (Arugampul), Calotropis |
| Pre-Planting (Stale Seedbed) | Cyperus rotundus (Motha), All annual & perennial weeds |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Target Weed | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | Sowing Gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Annual Weeds | 800 - 1000 ml | 150 L | 5 - 7 ml | 7 - 10 Days |
| Perennial Weeds | 1000 - 1200 ml | 150 - 200 L | 8 - 10 ml | 7 - 10 Days |
| Tough Weeds (Clinton Plus) | 1200 ml | 200 L | 10 - 15 ml | 7 - 10 Days |
*Sowing Gap: Because Clinton leaves no soil residue, you can safely sow your main crop 7-10 days after spraying the weeds.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Spray when weeds are actively growing, green, and at the 4-8 leaf stage. For perennials, spray during the early flowering stage for maximum root kill.
- Mixing: Use clean, clear water only. Muddy water deactivates the chemical. If you have hard water, add Ammonium Sulfate (1-2%) before adding Clinton.
- Coverage: Use a Flat Fan or Flood Jet nozzle. Ensure uniform foliage coverage without run-off. Avoid drift onto green parts of your main crop.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Do not use galvanized steel containers for mixing.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How quickly does Clinton Herbicide work?
Growth stops within 24-72 hours. Visual yellowing appears in 7 days, and complete death occurs in 14-21 days. Clinton Speed (54%) works faster.
2. Can I use it on my standing crop?
No. Clinton is non-selective and will kill any green plant it touches. Use hoods/shields in orchards or tea plantations to prevent contact with the crop.
3. What if it rains after spraying?
Clinton requires a rain-free interval of 4 to 6 hours to be fully absorbed. If it rains sooner, efficacy may be reduced.
4. Does it damage the soil for future crops?
No. Glyphosate binds to soil particles and becomes inactive immediately. It has zero residual activity, making it safe for future sowing.
5. What is the difference between Clinton and Clinton Speed?
Clinton is the standard 41% formulation. Clinton Speed is a high-load 54% formulation that delivers a stronger dose per droplet, ideal for tough weeds and faster results.
