FAQ for RATNA-CLODI
What weed does RATNA-CLODI specifically target?
RATNA-CLODI specifically targets Phalaris minor (canary grass) — the most economically important grassy weed in Indian wheat cultivation, causing yield losses of 20–50% in unmanaged infestations.
How does Clodinafop-Propargyl work?
Clodinafop-Propargyl inhibits ACCase enzyme in grassy weed species, blocking fatty acid biosynthesis essential for weed growth and survival, causing selective grassy weed control in wheat.
Is RATNA-CLODI safe for wheat crop?
Yes, RATNA-CLODI is highly selective for wheat — ACCase in wheat has a different structure from grassy weeds and is not significantly inhibited by Clodinafop at recommended application rates.
When should RATNA-CLODI be applied in wheat?
Apply RATNA-CLODI post-emergence when Phalaris minor has 2–4 tillers and wheat is at 3–4 leaf stage (21–30 DAS). Do not apply if wheat or weed is under stress conditions.
What is the recommended dosage of RATNA-CLODI?
RATNA-CLODI is typically applied at 160g per hectare dissolved in adequate water. Always use with an approved surfactant for better weed coverage and absorption. Follow label recommendations strictly.
