Sodium Acifluorfen 16.5% + Clodinafop Propargyl 8% EC
CIGAR (Sodium Acifluorfen 16.5% + Clodinafop Propargyl 8% EC) is a selective post-emergence herbicide from Ratnakar India Ltd, Ahmedabad — India's leading agrochemical manufacturer, supplier, and exporter. The combination of Sodium Acifluorfen (PPO inhibitor, broad-leaf control) and Clodinafop Propargyl (ACCase inhibitor, grass control) provides comprehensive management of both broad-leaf and grassy weeds in soybean, black gram, green gram, and groundnut. CIGAR controls weeds resistant to single-mode herbicides. Manufactured and exported by Ratnakar India from Gujarat, CIGAR is a precision dual-mode post-emergence herbicide for integrated weed management in important pulse and oilseed crops.

FAQ for CIGAR
What weeds does CIGAR control?
CIGAR controls broad-leaf weeds (via Sodium Acifluorfen) and grassy weeds (via Clodinafop Propargyl) in soybean, black gram, green gram, and groundnut — providing comprehensive post-emergence weed management.
How do the two actives in CIGAR complement each other?
Sodium Acifluorfen inhibits PPO enzyme controlling broad-leaf weeds, while Clodinafop Propargyl inhibits ACCase enzyme controlling grassy weeds — together providing complete weed flora management in one application.
When should CIGAR be applied?
Apply CIGAR post-emergence as a foliar spray when weeds are small and actively growing — typically 2–3 weeks after crop emergence. Do not mix with insecticides or fungicides for best results.
Is CIGAR safe for soybean crops?
Yes, CIGAR is selective for soybean when applied at recommended rates and timing. It controls weeds while leaving the soybean crop unharmed due to selective metabolism in the crop plant.
What is the recommended dose of CIGAR?
CIGAR is typically used at 400 ml per acre as a post-emergence foliar spray. Refer to product label for precise timing and dilution recommendations for each registered crop.
