Topik is a selective herbicide that is used to control a wide range of annual grasses in wheat and barley. It contains the active ingredient clodinafop-propargyl, which is a systemic herbicide. This means that it is absorbed by the plant and transported throughout the plant's tissues, where it kills the weed. Topik is applied as a foliar spray and is typically applied early in the growing season, but can be applied at any time during the growing season, as long as the weeds are actively growing.

Topik is effective against a wide range of annual grasses, including wild oats, barley grass, canary grass, and ryegrass. It is also effective against some perennial grasses, such as quackgrass and bromegrass. However, Topik is not effective against broadleaf weeds.
