Mikado, water-based solution, (Cloquarid, 267 g/l + Picloram, 67 g/l)

Synergy against stubborn weeds

For winter oilseed rape producers, the battle against perennial broad-leaved weeds is a constant challenge. Mikado is a selective, systemic herbicide specifically formulated to tackle this issue. By combining clopyralid (267 g/l) and picloram (67 g/l), it creates a powerful solution that penetrates deep into the root systems of the most invasive field weeds.

Key advantages

• Dual-action root control: Unlike single-active ingredient products, Mikado works on two fronts. Clopyralid disrupts meristem growth, while picloram provides long-term control, suppressing deep-seated roots of weeds like Canada thistle and sow thistle.
• Broad spectrum: It is highly effective against ragweed, cleavers, scentless chamomile, wild buckwheat, and cornflower — weeds that often escape standard chemical applications.
• Selectivity: Designed as a post-emergence herbicide, it shows high selectivity towards the crop, ensuring winter oilseed rape can flourish without competition for water or nutrients.

Application insights

Mikado is applied as a foliar treatment. Its liquid formulation ensures quick absorption through the leaf surface. To maintain crop safety and effectiveness, the dosage is strictly limited to 0.3–0.4 L/ha, with a maximum of one application per season. This strict regimen is essential to prevent phytotoxicity and ensure optimal field results.

Why choose Mikado: It is the ideal tool for farms that prioritize clean crops and high yield potential. The high concentration of active substances allows it to handle even overgrown weeds effectively. It is a robust solution for intensive agriculture where consistency is key.

Considerations: Given its strong systemic action and class 3 hazard rating, correct timing relative to the crop's growth stage is paramount. Because only one application per season is permitted, farmers must time their spraying windows to hit the weeds during their most vulnerable stage of development.
