Clodinafop-propargyl 50g/L + Pinoxaden 50g/L + Cloquintocet-mexyl 12.5g/L EC Herbicides | POMAIS

Definition and Core Specifications

POMAIS Clodinafop-propargyl 50g/L + Pinoxaden 50g/L + Cloquintocet-mexyl 12.5g/L EC is a high-performance post-emergence herbicide designed for selective control of annual grassy weeds in cereal crops. This synergistic formulation combines two potent ACCase inhibitors—Clodinafop-propargyl and Pinoxaden—with a built-in crop safener, Cloquintocet-mexyl, to ensure both powerful weed control and crop safety.

This herbicide is ideal for agricultural distributors and cereal growers seeking broad-spectrum grass weed control, especially in regions with rising resistance to older chemistries.

Formulation Benefits: Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC) for Precision and Performance

The Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC) formulation of POMAIS Clodinafop-propargyl + Pinoxaden + Cloquintocet-mexyl offers a reliable and efficient delivery system for post-emergence weed control in cereal fields. As a liquid concentrate that forms a stable emulsion when mixed with water, ECs are widely valued for their excellent sprayability, fast absorption, and easy tank-mix compatibility.

Key Advantages of EC Formulation:

• High bioavailability: Active ingredients are rapidly absorbed by leaf tissues, enabling quicker onset of herbicidal action against grassy weeds.

• Uniform distribution: Ensures even coverage across dense cereal canopies, which is critical for controlling early-stage weeds.

• Ease of application: Compatible with standard field sprayers and allows flexible tank mixing with fungicides or foliar feeds under field conditions.

• Stable storage: ECs are chemically stable across a range of temperatures, which is essential for warehousing and long-distance transportation.

• Economical packaging and transport: Liquid form minimizes volume and weight compared to granules or suspension products, reducing logistics costs.

Compared to water-dispersible granules (WDG) or suspension concentrates (SC), EC formulations penetrate waxy leaf surfaces more effectively—particularly important for hard-to-wet species like wild oats and brome grass.

This makes EC the optimal choice for distributors and farmers looking for field-proven, easy-to-use solutions for grass weed control in cereal-based cropping systems.

Mode of Action: Dual ACCase Inhibition with Integrated Crop Safener

POMAIS Clodinafop-propargyl + Pinoxaden + Cloquintocet-mexyl EC works by precisely targeting the Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase (ACCase) enzyme, a critical catalyst in fatty acid biosynthesis within grass weeds. Disruption of this enzyme pathway inhibits cell membrane formation, leading to cell death and rapid weed desiccation.

How Each Component Works:

• Clodinafop-propargyl and Pinoxaden are both highly selective ACCase inhibitors. While they belong to different chemical families (FOP and DEN, respectively), their dual inclusion ensures broader weed control spectrum and slows resistance development. These active ingredients are absorbed through foliage and translocated to growing points, where they halt meristematic activity, ultimately killing the weed.

• Cloquintocet-mexyl functions as a safener, selectively metabolized by cereal crops like wheat, barley, and oats. It stimulates detoxification pathways in the crop, allowing rapid breakdown of herbicidal compounds before they can cause phytotoxicity. This enhances the herbicide's selectivity while preserving crop health.

Together, this triple-component formulation delivers potent post-emergence control of tough grassy weeds, while offering high safety margins for cereal crops. The mechanism is particularly effective during the early vegetative stages of weed growth, when ACCase inhibition disrupts metabolic processes most efficiently.

This mode of action is ideal for growers facing ACCase-resistant grass weed populations, offering a sustainable and robust tool for modern weed management programs.

Target Crops and Weeds Controlled: Precision Grass Weed Management in Cereal Fields

POMAIS Clodinafop-propargyl + Pinoxaden + Cloquintocet-mexyl EC is specifically formulated to meet the needs of cereal crop producers, offering selective and reliable control of annual grassy weeds without harming the crop. It is designed for use in post-emergence applications during the active growth phase of both weeds and crops.

Applicable Crops:

• Wheat

• Barley

• Oats

These crops metabolize the herbicide safely with the help of Cloquintocet-mexyl, allowing strong weed suppression with minimal phytotoxic risk.

Target Weeds:

This formulation delivers high efficacy against a broad range of economically significant annual grass weeds, including:

• Wild oats (Avena fatua)

• Canary grass (Phalaris spp.)

• Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum)

• Foxtail (Setaria spp.)

• Brome grass (Bromus spp.)

These weed species are common invaders in cereal systems and are known for their competitiveness, resistance development, and ability to reduce yield significantly if uncontrolled.

By applying this herbicide early in the weed's growth stage—typically between 1-leaf and early tillering—you ensure maximum absorption and systemic action, minimizing regrowth and reducing the seed bank for the next season.

This crop-weed matching profile makes the product an ideal choice for commercial grain producers, cooperatives, and agri-input distributors operating in regions with heavy grass weed infestations.

Application Guidelines: Targeted Use for Effective Post-Emergence Control

To achieve optimal performance from POMAIS Clodinafop-propargyl + Pinoxaden + Cloquintocet-mexyl EC, it is essential to follow precise application timing, dosage, and coverage practices. This product is designed for post-emergence foliar spraying, with particular efficacy during the early growth stages of grass weeds.

Recommended Dosage:

• Application Rate:

  • 0.5 to 1.0 liters per hectare, depending on weed density and target species

• Water Volume:

  • Apply with 200–400 liters of clean water per hectare for uniform spray coverage

Optimal Timing:

• Application Window:

  • Post-emergence, when target weeds are between 1–2 leaf and early tillering stages (BBCH 11–21)

• Crop Growth Stage:

  • Apply when cereal crops are fully established and healthy, typically between BBCH 12–29 (2–9 tillers)

Method of Application:

• Use a boom sprayer with flat-fan nozzles to ensure even leaf surface coverage

• Avoid spraying under rainy, windy, or high-temperature conditions to prevent drift and maximize absorption

• Do not apply during drought stress or immediately after irrigation—wait for the crop and weeds to resume active growth

Mixing Instructions:

• Shake the container well before use

• Add the required amount of herbicide to a spray tank half-filled with water

• Maintain agitation while filling the tank to full capacity

• Use the spray solution immediately after preparation

Following these guidelines ensures maximum weed kill efficiency while maintaining crop safety and minimizing environmental impact. When used correctly, this product becomes a key component in an integrated grass weed management strategy.
