Herbicides

For shallow roots use about 250g in 10lts over 20 sq yards.

Sodium chlorate is used as a non-selective herbicide. It is considered phytotoxic to all green plant parts. It can also kill through root absorption.

Sodium chlorate may be used to control:

morning glory,

Canada thistle,

johnson grass,

bamboo,

ragwort and

St John’s wort.

The herbicide is mainly used on non-crop land for spot treatment and for total vegetation control on roadsides, fenceways, ditches and suchlike.

Sodium chlorate is also used as a defoliant and desiccant for:

cotton,

safflower,

corn,

flax,

peppers,

soybeans,

grain sorghum,

southern peas,

dry beans,

rice and

sunflowers.

If used in combination with atrazine, it increases the persistence of the effect. If used in combination with 2,4-D, it improves performance of the material. Sodium chlorate has a soil-sterilant effect. Mixing with other herbicides in aqueous solution is possible to some extent, so long as they are not susceptible to oxidation.

Trade names
