2. Chemical Properties
Solubility : Water soluble
ā¢ Belong to chemical family of Bipyridylium
Reactivity Proļle
ā¢ Stable in acidic media, but unstable in alkaline media
ā¢ Decomposes photochemically by UV radiation in aqueous
solutions and is rapidly inactivated by soil
ā¢ Sensitive to light
ā¢ Corrosive to metal and react with strong acids, bases, and
oxidizing agents
ā¢ Hydrolyzed by alkali compounds
ā¢ Inactivated by inert clays and anionic surfactants
3. Qualities
ā¢ All clear is a contact, Non- Selective, post emergence herbicide
ā¢ All Clear is used as foliar Spray to control broad leaf weeds and grasses
ā¢ All Clear control all annual and certain perennial weeds
ā¢ Wide usage in terms of crops like Corn, soya, wheat, rice, potatoes, fruit
(oranges, apples, bananas), coffee, tea, cocoa, cotton, oil palm, sugar
beet, sugarcane and rubber
ā¢ An ideal herbicide for conservation and no-till systems (only controls the
foliage parts of weeds), thus promoting intact roots and preventing soil
erosion
ā¢ Hydrolyzed by alkali compounds
ā¢ Inactivated by inert clays and anionic surfactants
4. Mode of action
ā¢ All Clear inhibits photosynthesis .
ā¢ All Clear results in rapid disruption of cell membranes and kills rapidly.
ā¢ All Clear penetrate into the cytoplasm, form peroxides and free
electrons (light is required) which destroy the cell membranes almost
immediately
ā¢ Rapid destruction of cell membranes prevents translocation of energy
to other regions of the plant
ā¢ Severe injury is evident in few hours after application, ļrst as watersoaked
areas which later turn yellow or brown
ā¢ Maximum control is attained in a week
ā¢ Partial spray coverage of a plant results in spotting or partial shoot kill
ā¢ It is redistributed within the plant, but does not harm mature bark
5. Importance
ā¢ All clear is strongly cationic and relatively toxic herbicide .It is very
fast-acting, results appears with in week time. It is rain-fast within 15-30
minutes of application.
ā¢ All clear is also effective under low temperatures when weeds are
making little active growth.
ā¢ All Clear do not penetrate mature bark, sprayed safely around trees and
beneath bushes.
ā¢ All clear has no āresidualā activity in soil, can be sprayed before crops are
planted or seedlings emerge.
ā¢ All Clear strongly bind to clay, preventing activity for weed control or
leaching in the soil . All Clear solution with suspended colloids like muddy
water, slurry, fertilizers etc will cause chemical inactivation.
ā¢ All Clear is used for killing shoot in numerous situations like burn down
in conservation tillage systems and pre-harvest desiccation.
