Description

Beansclean Herbicide 1L

Beansclean Herbicide is a selective weed control solution formulated for broadleaf weed management in legume and vegetable crops. Its active ingredient, MCPA, is rapidly absorbed through foliage and translocated to roots to ensure complete knockdown. Trusted by farmers for consistent performance, Beansclean helps protect yields and supports integrated weed management.

Key Features

• Selective control of broadleaf weeds while safe on beans, peas, soybeans, and cowpeas

• Rapid uptake and systemic movement for thorough root kill

• Visible wilting and necrosis within three days

• Ready-to-use 1 L formulation treats up to two hectares at one litre per hectare

• Rainfast in one hour to reduce wash-off risk

• Compatible with common tank-mix partners for expanded weed spectrum

• Biodegradable carrier reduces environmental persistence

• Low drift potential thanks to optimal droplet size recommendations

Technical Specifications

• Active Ingredient: 250 g/L MCPA (acid equivalent)

• Formulation Type: Water-dispersible granule (WDG)

• Pack Size: 1 L jug with tamper-evident seal

• Coverage Area: Two hectares per jug at recommended rate

• pH Stability: Range 4 to 8

• Rainfast Period: One hour after application

• Shelf Life: Twenty-four months when stored as directed

Mode of Action

Beansclean acts as a synthetic auxin, mimicking plant hormones and disrupting cell growth in susceptible broadleaf weeds. After foliar contact, the active ingredient moves through the plant’s vascular system to the root tips, causing abnormal cell division and tissue swelling. This irreversible process leads to wilting, necrosis, and eventual plant collapse. Learn more about synthetic auxin herbicides on Wikipedia.

Application Instructions

Follow these guidelines for maximum efficacy:

• Timing: Apply when weeds are at the three to six leaf stage and actively growing

• Mixing: Add Beansclean to half the required water volume, agitate, then fill to final volume

• Dosage: Use 500 mL of Beansclean per hectare in 200–400 L of water

• Spray Settings: Maintain 200–300 kPa pressure and use nozzles that produce medium droplets

• Weather Conditions: Spray under calm conditions (≤10 km/h wind)

• Avoid Overlap: Do not exceed recommended rate or overlap spray passes to prevent crop injury

For detailed spraying techniques, see the UMN Extension guide.

Crop & Weed Spectrum

Crops: Beansclean is safe when used as directed on:

• Common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris)
• Soybeans (Glycine max)
• Peas (Pisum sativum)
• Lentils (Lens culinaris)
• Cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata)

Weeds Controlled: Effective against broadleaf weeds including amaranth, nightshade, beggarweed, lambsquarters, and cocklebur.

Mixing & Tank-Mix Partners

Perform a jar test before mixing. Beansclean is compatible with glyphosate and 2,4-D when following label rates; avoid mixing with alkaline products to prevent active ingredient degradation. For full compatibility charts, visit our Weed Management Services page.

Safety & Precautions

• Wear protective equipment including gloves, goggles, long-sleeve clothing, and respirator

• Do not eat, drink, or smoke during handling and application

• Keep children and animals out of treated areas until spray has dried

• Avoid drift onto non-target crops and water bodies to prevent environmental harm

• Wash equipment thoroughly after use to prevent cross-contamination

Environmental Considerations

Beansclean’s biodegradable formula reduces soil persistence and has low leaching potential under normal conditions. Observe a five-metre buffer zone from aquatic habitats to protect sensitive species. Read more on best practices at the Indian Government’s MCPA Application Guide.

Storage & Disposal

• Store in original container between 0 °C and 40 °C, away from direct sunlight

• Keep container tightly closed when not in use

• Triple-rinse empty jugs and offer for recycling or dispose according to local regulations

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum interval before planting sensitive crops after use?
Allow at least 30 days before planting tomatoes, peppers, or other sensitive species.

Can I irrigate immediately after spraying?
Wait at least four hours to allow Beansclean to bind to weed foliage.

Is an additional surfactant required?
Beansclean contains surfactant. No extra adjuvant is usually needed.
