It is clodinafop propargyl 15%wp Rubah is a selective and post-emergent herbicide
Rubah belongs to the aryloxyphenoxy propionate group of herbicides
It has systemic action
Its half-life period in the soil is only a few days so there is no effect on the succeeding crops
Rubah has good compatibility with other pesticides
Mode of action
Rubah is an acetyl coa carboxylase (accase) inhibitor.
It is absorbed by the leaves and stem of the weed plants.
It is rapidly translocated within the plants and accumulates in the growing parts/meristematic tissues.
It stops the synthesis of fatty acids/lipids in the plant essential for the growth, thereby the growth of the weed is stopped within 48 hours.
Yellowing of leaves starts within 7-14 days followed by browning and dry-up.
The complete result can be shown 14-21 days after application.
Recommendation:- For Wheat (400 Gm / 375-400 Ltr Water)
