Clethodim 240 is a post-emergence, selective herbicide that is effective in controlling a wide range of annual grass weeds in a variety of crops. It is a liquid herbicide that is formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate (EC) and is ready to mix with water for application.

How Clethodim 240 Works

Clethodim 240 works by inhibiting the production of cellulose, a key component of the cell walls of grass plants. This causes the grass plants to become weak and eventually die. Clethodim 240 is absorbed by the leaves of the grass plants and translocated throughout the plant, providing systemic control.

Application of Clethodim 240

Clethodim 240 can be applied to a variety of crops, including:

• Winter cereals: Clethodim 240 can be used to control a wide range of annual grass weeds in winter cereals, such as barley, wheat, and oats.

• Canola: Clethodim 240 can be used to control a wide range of annual grass weeds in canola.

• Other crops: Clethodim 240 can also be used to control annual grass weeds in a variety of other crops, such as sunflowers and sugar beets.

Conditions for Application

Clethodim 240 should be applied to actively growing weeds when the temperature is between 15°C and 30°C (59°F and 86°F). The weeds should be small and actively growing, and the crop should be healthy and vigorous. The label for the product will provide specific application rates and conditions for each crop.
