Optimax- Clodinafop-Propargyl 8% EC
Clodinafop-Propargyl is a systemic selective herbicide from the Aryloxyphenoxypropionate (FOPs) group, used to control grassy weeds in broadleaf crops, particularly wheat fields.
After foliar absorption, it is rapidly translocated within the plant. By inhibiting ACCase (Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase), it prevents fatty acid synthesis, leading to growth inhibition and death of grassy weeds.
It is selective, targeting a wide spectrum of grassy weeds such as wild oat, foxtail, and ryegrass, while leaving the main crop (wheat) unharmed.
