- Technical Name: Sodium Acifluorfen 16.5% + Clodinafop-Propargyl 8% EC
- Type: Selective post emergence Herbicid
Mode of Action:
- Patela combines two herbicidal modes of action: Sodium Acifluorfen disrupts cell membranes by inhibiting protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO), leading to rapid desiccation of broadleaf weeds.
- Clodinafop-Propargyl inhibits acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase), stopping lipid synthesis in grassy weeds.
- Together, they offer quick and effective weed control.
Features & Benefits:
- Dual action for broadleaf and grassy weed control
- Highly effective in soybean and groundnut fields
- Improves crop yield by eliminating weed competition
- Fast action with longer residual effects
- Easy to apply and compatible with most farming practices
- Recommended Crops: Soybean
- Target Weeds: Echinochloa spp., Eleusine indica, Digitaria anguinalis, Dactyloctanium aegyptium, Acalypha indica, Digeria arvensis, Euphorbia spp.
