Cleanado 15%WP

Overview

Cleanado 15%WP is a herbicide from Agritas, built on the ACCase inhibitor (FOP) chemistry. It is used against wild oat, canary grass and annual grasses in wheat. Registered use on wheat. Agritas supplies it through the Haryali Markaz network, where the staff know which pests and diseases are moving in your district this week and can tell you whether this is the right product for what you are actually seeing in the field.

Spray equipment: Use a properly calibrated knapsack or suitable field sprayer for uniform application.
Safety: Wear gloves and protective clothing during mixing and spraying.
Mixing: Do not mix with other pesticides unless the product label specifically recommends the combination.
Farmer tip: Early control of grass weeds helps wheat use available water and nutrients more efficiently.

Why it pays

Weeds take water, nitrogen and light before the crop gets any of it, and they take it in the first six weeks when the crop is deciding how much it will yield. One timely herbicide usually costs less than the two hand weedings it replaces, and it arrives on the day the weeds are small enough to die.

Field tips

Spray weeds, not soil — unless the label says pre-emergence, in which case spray moist, settled soil and do not disturb it afterwards. Working the ground after a pre-emergence spray breaks the layer and the weeds come straight through.

Clean the tank before and after. Herbicide left in a sprayer will damage the next crop it touches, and the damage shows up days later when nobody connects it to the tank.

Check what you are sowing next. Some herbicides stay active in the soil long enough to hurt the following crop.

Safety

Use a sprayer kept only for herbicides — traces left in a shared tank will damage the next crop you spray. Do not spray in wind, because drift onto a neighbouring broadleaf crop such as cotton causes serious damage. Note the label's restriction on what you may plant next in that field.
