Actop - Clodinafop-Propargyl 9% + Metribuzin 20% WP - Mahindra Summit
Actop Herbicide by Mahindra Summit
Actop contains clodinafop-propargyl 9% + metribuzin 20% WP. Clodinafop-propargyl inhibits the ACCase enzyme involved in grass-weed fatty-acid synthesis. Metribuzin inhibits photosynthesis.
Composition: clodinafop-propargyl 9% + metribuzin 20% WP.
Verified scope: The manufacturer’s crop-and-target pairings are listed below.
Before use: Confirm the product rate, water volume, method and waiting period on the supplied label.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🌾Wheat-focused use: Mahindra lists a specific wheat weed programme.
- 🌱Grass-weed coverage: The listed targets include Phalaris minor.
- 🍃Broadleaf-weed coverage: The wheat table also includes Chenopodium and other named broadleaf weeds.
- ⚙️Two mechanisms: ACCase inhibition is combined with photosynthesis inhibition.
- 🔄Group identification: HRAC Groups 1 and 5 help distinguish the active ingredients when planning rotations.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Clodinafop-propargyl inhibits the ACCase enzyme involved in grass-weed fatty-acid synthesis. Metribuzin inhibits photosynthesis.
- Grass-weed action: Clodinafop-propargyl interferes with the formation of essential fatty acids.
- Photosynthesis action: Metribuzin disrupts photosynthetic electron transport.
- Combined effect: The two components act at different sites in susceptible weeds.
Changing brand names does not necessarily change the mode of action. Follow a crop-specific resistance-management plan and all limits on repeat applications.
Target Crops & Weeds
Mahindra’s Actop recommendation table names the following crop-and-target pairings.
| Crop | Target Weed(s) |
|---|---|
| Wheat |
|
Each target belongs only to its listed crop. Do not extend these recommendations to unlisted crops or assume that every listed target applies to every crop.
Dosage & Application Guide
Check the current pack before measuring product. The public manufacturer table uses a combined g/ml dose header without identifying the product unit. Quantitative directions are withheld until that ambiguity is resolved.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Product rate | Water volume | Method | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wheat | Confirm label unit | Confirm label basis | Follow label | Not verified |
The manufacturer’s product-dose heading is per hectare, not per acre. No operational dose or acre conversion is supplied from the ambiguous unit heading. The water column also needs its area basis confirmed on the pack.
PHI means the interval between the last application and harvest. An unverified waiting period does not mean zero days.
Confirm crop stage, equipment, repeat interval, maximum applications, re-entry and weather restrictions. No universal per-litre or tank recipe is inferred.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Match the target: Check the full Actop identity, crop and target against the supplied label.
- Measure correctly: Use the label’s explicit product unit and water volume; do not substitute a hectare quantity for an acre quantity.
- Confirm timing and crop fit: Check the pack for wheat variety, crop stage, weed stage and soil or weather restrictions. The public table alone does not establish a complete application method.
- Protect people and water: Wear the specified protective equipment and prevent drift or runoff into water and neighbouring crops.
Frequently Asked Questions
