clearweed herbicide

clearweed herbicide is a foliar-acting herbicide for the control of annual weeds, perennial grass, and aquatic weeds.

• In addition to this, it is also used in tree crop planting and the maintenance of perennial tree crops.
• It is suitable for the control of annual weeds, perennial grasses (including species Cynodon, Imperata, Phragmites, etc.), Cyperus, perennial broadleaves (Chromolaena odorata, Lantana camara, and others), and aquatic weeds.
• It is also indicated for use in pre-crop planting (reduced tillage), the maintenance of perennial tree crops, industrial sites, and aquatic environments.

Clearweed herbicide Active ingredient

480g/L isopropylamine salt of glyphosate (in aqueous solution) which is equivalent to 360g/L glyphosate and ethoxylated tallow amine.

clearweed herbicide Product benefits

• Faster uptake and symptoms.
• Highest levels of long-term weed control.
• Greater consistency in a wider range of weather conditions.
• Symptoms develop more quickly allowing cultivation intervals to be reduced.
• clearweed herbicide is compatible with a variety of other products.

Importance of herbicides in crop production

Production of major crops has more than tripled since 1960, thanks in large part to pesticides (including herbicides). Without pesticides, more than half of our crops would be lost to pests and diseases.

Food crops on farms must compete with 30,000 species of weeds which can be very detrimental to the survival of the crops. This shows the pertinent need for specific chemicals that can deal with these pests while prolonging the life of crops and preventing post-harvest losses.

• Herbicides help farmers grow more food on less land by protecting crops from various species of weeds.
• The use of herbicides will serve to increase the productivity per hectare.
• They enable farmers to produce safe, quality foods at affordable prices.
• They also help farmers to provide an abundance of nutritious, all-year-round food which is necessary for human health.

Precautions

• Spray on target weeds
• Not to be sprayed in windy conditions (above 15km/hr).
• Do not allow spray mist to drift onto desirable vegetation.
• Use slightly alkaline water with buffer (ammonium sulfate) to dissolve.
• Spray actively growing weeds before planting (increases absorption at a lower rate).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is Clearweed Herbicide?

Clearweed Herbicide is a foliar-acting herbicide designed to control a wide range of unwanted plants, including:

• Annual weeds
• Perennial grasses (including species like Cynodon, Imperata, and Phragmites)
• Cyperus
• Perennial broadleaves (like Chromolaena odorata and Lantana camara)
• Aquatic weeds

What are the benefits of using Clearweed Herbicide?

• Faster weed control: Clearweed offers rapid uptake and quicker symptom development, allowing for faster action and potentially reduced cultivation intervals.
• Long-lasting control: Provides long-term weed control, minimizing the need for frequent reapplication.
• Broad-spectrum control: Effective against a wide variety of weed types.
• Performance in various conditions: Maintains consistent performance across diverse weather conditions.
• Compatibility: Clearweed can be mixed with other compatible products for broader weed management strategies.

Why are herbicides like Clearweed important in crop production?

• Increased crop yields: Herbicides like Clearweed help control weeds that compete with crops for resources, leading to higher crop yields.
• Reduced land use: Effective weed control allows farmers to cultivate more food on less land.
• Improved food quality and affordability: By protecting crops from weeds, herbicides contribute to the production of safe, high-quality food at accessible prices.
• Year-round food availability: Weed control enables consistent food production throughout the year, promoting better food security.

What are some precautions to take when using Clearweed Herbicide?

• Targeted application: Spray directly on the weeds you want to control, avoiding desirable vegetation.
• Wind conditions: Do not apply in windy conditions (above 15km/hr) to prevent spray drift.
• Water: Use slightly alkaline water with a buffer (like ammonium sulfate) for optimal dissolving.
• Weed growth stage: Apply to actively growing weeds before planting for better absorption at lower rates.
