2025-09-04
There are many types of wheat herbicides; facing the dazzling array of options on the shelves, which one should you choose?
I recommend an excellent herbicide formulation that provides excellent control of grassy weeds, broadleaf weeds, and others. This formulation is Mesosulfuron-Methyl 6g/l +Florasulam 4g/l+Clodinafop-propargyl 70g/l OD
1. Product Introduction
Active Ingredients & Mechanism
- Mesosulfuron-methyl (6g/L): Sulfonylurea (ALS inhibitor) — controls difficult grass weeds: Aegilops tauschii (jointed goatgrass), Bromus japonicus (Japanese brome), Alopecurus aequalis (shortawn foxtail).
- Florasulam (4g/L): Triazolopyrimidine (ALS inhibitor) — broadleaf weeds: Stellaria media, Capsella bursa-pastoris, Descurainia sophia, Galium aparine.
- Clodinafop-propargyl (70g/L): Aryloxyphenoxypropionate (ACCase inhibitor) — annual grasses: Avena fatua (wild oat), Lolium multiflorum (Italian ryegrass), Phalaris minor (little seed canary grass).
Key Features
- Triple-synergy: One-shot grass + broadleaf weed control (full spectrum).
- OD formulation: better adhesion, rainfastness (≥1 hour), low-temperature tolerance.
- Wheat-safe: with safener (e.g., pyrazolynate) — safe for most wheat varieties.
- Resistance management: dual target sites (ALS + ACCase).
Target Crops & Weeds
- Crops: Winter wheat.
- Grasses: Aegilops tauschii, Bromus, Alopecurus, Avena fatua, Lolium, Sclerochloa, Poa annua.
- Broadleaves: Chickweed, Shepherd's purse, Descurainia, Galium, Malium, Veronica.
2. Application Method
Application Timing
- Wheat stage: 3–6 leaf stage (before jointing).
- Weed stage: 2–5 leaf (fully emerged, actively growing).
- Temperature: daily ≥8°C; no frost/heavy rain forecast 3 days before/after.
Dosage
- Rate: 50–70 mL/mu (667 m²).
- Water volume: 25–30 L/mu (foliar spray).
Application Steps
- Shake well before use.
- Dilute twice:
- Mix 50–70 mL with 1–2 L water → stir.
- Add to spray tank; fill to 25–30 L/mu.
- Spray evenly on weed foliage; avoid drift to other crops.
3. Precautions
- Do NOT mix with 2,4-D, MCPA, carfentrazone-ethyl, organophosphates, or carbamates.
- Avoid:
- Wheat jointing/booting stages.
- Strong wind, rain, drought, waterlogging.
- Sensitive varieties: strong-gluten wheat.
- Safety:
- PHI: 60 days before harvest.
- Re-entry: 24 hours after spraying.
- Toxic to fish/algae — avoid water bodies.
- Storage: cool, dry, sealed; keep from children/animals.
4. Summary
- Best for: mixed grass + broadleaf weeds; especially Aegilops tauschii.
- Effect: weeds stop growth in 2–3 days; die in 10–15 days.
- Advantage: wide window, rainfast, low-temp stable, wheat-safe.
5.Highly efficient wheat herbicide –saves effort, saves worry, saves money.
(1) Broader weed control spectrum This is a post-emergence herbicide for wheat fields. It provides excellent control of broadleaf weeds including Stellaria media, Galium aparine, Solanum nigrum, Fallopia convolvulus, Descurainia sophia, Xanthium sibiricum, Ambrosia artemisiifolia, Ambrosia trifida, Abutilon theophrasti, as well as grass weeds such as Aegilops tauschii, Bromus japonicus, Sclerochloa kengiana, Poa annua, Polypogon fugax, Alopecurus aequalis, Alopecurus japonicus, Lolium multiflorum, Avena fatua, Phalaris arundinacea, Setaria viridis.(2) More thorough weed control This herbicide is systemic, absorbed by weed sheaths, stems and leaves. It kills weeds by inhibiting key enzymes in their metabolic processes, resulting in more thorough control with no regrowth.
(3) Safe for succeeding crops This herbicide has a short soil residual period, posing no adverse effects on subsequent crops including corn, cotton, soybean, peanut, vegetables and other rotational crops.
