How It Works: Mode of Action
Clodino Super works by "starving" the weed of the essential fats it needs to grow new cells.
- Absorption: The spray lands on the weed leaves and is absorbed within hours.
- Translocation: It travels through the plant system to the active growing points (roots and shoot tips).
- Inhibition: It blocks the ACCase enzyme (essential for lipid synthesis), causing the weed to turn yellow, dry up, and die within 1-3 weeks.
*Note: The included safener ensures the wheat plant metabolizes the chemical harmlessly.

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Under-dosing leads to resistance!
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wheat | 160g | 150-160 L | Approx 1g | 90-100 |
| - | - | - | - | - |
| - | - | - | - | - |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply 30–35 days after sowing (DAS), specifically when the weeds are at the 2–4 leaf stage. Spraying too late (after tillering) reduces effectiveness.
- Mixing: Dissolve the 160g pouch in a bucket first to make a slurry before adding it to the spray tank. Use Flat Fan or Flood Jet nozzles for best coverage.
- Coverage: Ensure the soil is moist (at field capacity/vatar) during application for maximum uptake by the weeds.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I mix Clodino Super with 2,4-D?
No. Mixing with 2,4-D reduces the effectiveness of Clodino Super significantly (antagonism). Maintain a gap of 5-7 days between sprays.
2. Does it control broadleaf weeds (Bhatua/Bathua)?
No, it only controls grasses. However, it can be tank-mixed with Metsulfuron-methyl for broad-spectrum control.
3. What is the best time to spray?
The ideal window is 30 to 35 days after sowing, usually after the first irrigation when the soil is moist.
4. Will it affect my next crop (like Cotton/Mustard)?
No. Clodino Super degrades rapidly in the soil and has no residual activity, making it safe for crop rotation.
5. What if it rains after spraying?
The product is rainfast within 2 hours. If it rains after 2 hours, re-spraying is usually not required.
