PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
ACM-9 is a selective post-emergence combination herbicide formulated by Crystal Crop Protection Ltd. It features a dual-action premix of Clodinafop Propargyl (9%) and Metribuzin (20%) WP along with a safener (Cloquintocet-mexyl 2.25% w/w). It is specifically designed for wheat to simultaneously manage resistant grassy weeds like Phalaris minor and key broadleaf weeds in a single spray application.
KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS
- Dual Action: Combines grass-weed-targeting power with broadleaf control in one convenient formulation.
- Resistant Weed Management: Controls herbicide-resistant strains of Phalaris minor (Gulli Danda) effectively.
- Built-in Crop Safener: Contains Cloquintocet-mexyl, enabling the wheat plant to metabolize the herbicide safely without crop injury.
- Foliar & Soil Uptake: Acts systemically through leaves as well as through soil absorption for thorough weed suppression.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
- Wear appropriate personal protective gear (gloves, mask, and protective body covering) while handling and spraying.
- Apply only when there is adequate soil moisture in the field to maximize safety and effectiveness.
- Avoid spray drift to nearby non-target crops (such as pulses, vegetables, or broadleaf crops).
- Keep out of reach of children and farm animals, and wash hands and face thoroughly after use.
