Mechanism of action
The preparation has a systemic effect, penetrates weeds through leaves and stalks, actively moves along toward the root system, accumulates in growing points and blocks synthesis of lipids.
Protective period
Throughout the vegetation period. However, new sprouts may emerge from seeds of annual cereal weeds by season end.
Speed of action
The herbicide has a high systemic activity. The first signs of exposure appear in 2 to 4 days after treatment. Weeds cease growing within 5-7 days and grow brown in growing points; leave chlorosis is observed.
Range of inhibited weeds
Annual and perennial cereal weeds, including self-seeding of cereal crops and maize, quack grass, creeping finger grass, green valley grass, and others.
Compatibility
Efficient when used alone.
Using a clethodim preparation in mixes with other preparations may result in reduced efficiency. Check for physical compatibility with other preparations in a small vessel before mixing, and meet usage regulations and recommendations for all components of the mix. Do not commingle with fertilizers.
Potential for resistance
No facts of resistance to clethodim preparations were revealed. To prevent resistance of cereal weeds to the preparation, alternate, where possible, herbicides with different mechanisms of action.
