Product Description
Kloben Herbicide is a highly effective post-emergence herbicide designed to control a broad range of broadleaf weeds and grasses in rice and soybean fields. Its dual action—contact and residual—ensures immediate growth inhibition and long-term weed suppression. It is rapidly absorbed and translocated within the target weed, halting amino acid synthesis essential for growth and leading to the plant’s death.

Mode of Action
Kloben works by inhibiting acetolactate synthase (ALS), an enzyme required for the biosynthesis of valine and isoleucine. This disruption of essential amino acid formation inhibits plant cell division and growth, ultimately causing the weed’s death.

Application & Dosage

• Soybean: 24 gm per hectare in 500 liters of water
• Rice: 36 gm per hectare in 300 liters of water
• Apply when weeds are at the post-emergence stage and actively growing
• Add 250 ml surfactant per hectare as per recommendation

Ideal For

• Soybean and rice farmers facing issues with broadleaf weeds and sedges
• Post-emergence weed control in fields with known infestation of tough weed species
• Integrated weed management requiring crop-safe, low-dose herbicides

Target Benefits

• Provides both contact and residual activity for lasting weed control
• Kills weeds within 7–14 days after application
• Safe for crops, applicators, and environment when used as directed
• Reduces need for multiple herbicide applications

Usage Note
Always read and follow the label directions. Avoid spraying during strong winds or just before rainfall. Use only recommended surfactant in combination for optimum results. Store product in a cool, dry place away from food and water sources.
