How It Works: Mode of Action
Clodinafop-propargyl is a FOP (aryloxyphenoxypropionate) weed killer in HRAC Group 1. It blocks an enzyme called acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase), so susceptible weeds cannot make the fatty acids they need to grow.
- 1. Enters through leaves: The target weed absorbs the spray through its leaves.
- 2. Reaches growing points: The active ingredient moves to growing points.
- 3. Stops weed growth: Blocking ACCase disrupts fatty-acid production and stops growth in weeds that are sensitive to the treatment.
When alternating treatments, follow the label and local guidance and choose an effective product from a different mode-of-action group. A different brand name does not necessarily mean a different way of working.

Safety & Disclaimer
Before you use it: Read and follow the supplied product label and leaflet, including the approved crop, target, rate, application method and local restrictions. These directions take priority over general product information.
Wear label-specified protective clothing, chemical-resistant gloves and suitable eye/face protection; use respiratory protection as directed. Avoid skin and eye contact and inhalation of spray. Wash thoroughly after handling and keep away from children, food, feed and drinking water.
Prevent drift, runoff and disposal into water bodies. Dispose of empty containers as directed; never reuse pesticide containers. Observe label restrictions for pollinators and other non-target organisms.
Follow the crop-specific pre-harvest interval, re-entry period, maximum applications and resistance-management directions. A harvest interval is not a guarantee of zero residues or compliance with every export-market limit.
If exposure or poisoning is suspected, follow the label’s emergency instructions and seek prompt medical advice with the container or label available. Do not use unverified home remedies.
Keep spray drift away from neighbouring crops and follow the label’s soil-condition, crop-rotation and following-crop restrictions. Do not assume every wheat variety or succeeding crop is equally tolerant.
