CLETHODIM 240 is a selective post-emergence (Group 1) herbicide for control of a broad range of grasses in canola (including imazethapyr-tolerant varieties), flax (including low linolenic acid varieties), field peas, lentils, Desi and Kabuli chickpeas, dry onions, potatoes, Mustard (oriental, brown, yellow) (condiment type only), soybeans, seedling alfalfa, sunflowers and dry beans (Pinto, Black, Great Northern, Red, Pink and Navy). Clethodim 240 is only to be used with the adjuvant Surf-Act.

GENERAL INFORMATION:
CLETHODIM 240 is a selective post-emergence herbicide for control of a broad range of grasses in canola (including imazethapyr-tolerant varieties), flax (including low linolenic acid varieties), field peas, lentils, Desi and Kabuli chickpeas, dry onions, potatoes, mustard (oriental, brown, yellow) (condiment type only), soybeans, seedling alfalfa, sunflowers and dry beans (Pinto, Black, Great Northern, Red, Pink and Navy). CLETHODIM 240 is to be used only with adjuvant Surf-Act.
CLETHODIM 240 is a systemic herbicide which is translocated from the treated foliage to the growing points of the leaves, shoots and roots. Uptake into the plant is primarily through its leaves. Thorough coverage of the foliage is important for consistent grass control. Susceptible grasses that are actively growing will undergo a burn-back and colour change after treatment.
Leaf foliage will first change from green to yellowish, then purplish and finally brown colour.
The time required for complete control is normally 7 to 21 days following treatment, depending on growing conditions and crop competition.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
CLETHODIM 240 is to be used only on canola (including imazethapyr-tolerant varieties), flax (including low linolenic acid varieties), field peas, lentils, Desi and Kabuli chickpeas, dry onions, potatoes, mustard (oriental, brown, yellow) (condiment type only), soybeans, seedling alfalfa, sunflowers and dry beans (Pinto, Black, Great Northern, Red, Pink and Navy). Apply a maximum of one application per season on dry common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris varieties only).
DO NOT apply using aerial application equipment.
Not for use in greenhouses.
A 30-day plant-back interval should be observed for all unlabelled crops.

Time of Application:
Apply CLETHODIM 240 when the annual grasses and volunteer cereals are in the 2 to 6 leaf stage as specified under APPLICATION RATES OF CLETHODIM 240. Most effective control is achieved when application is made prior to tillering when annual grasses are small and actively growing.
For suppression or control of quackgrass, apply CLETHODIM 240 when the quackgrass is in the 2 to 6 leaf stage and 6 to 15 cm in height. Most effective results are achieved when application is made at the 3 to 5 leaf stage, when the canopy is uniform and actively growing.
CLETHODIM 240 will be less effective when plants are stressed by lack of moisture, excessive moisture, low temperature and/or very low relative humidity. Regrowth by tillering may occur if application is made under any of the above stress conditions. In wide row crops, where the canopy may be slow to close, cultivation may be necessary to control grasses that emerge after treatment.
Canola (including imazethapyr-tolerant varieties), flax (including low linolenic acid varieties), field peas, lentils, Desi and Kabuli chickpeas, dry onions, potatoes, mustard (oriental, brown, yellow) (condiment type only), soybeans, seedling alfalfa, sunflowers and dry beans (Pinto,
Black, Great Northern, Red, Pink and Navy) are tolerant to CLETHODIM 240 at all stages of growth. However, the pre-harvest interval outlined in the Crop Recommendations table must be followed to avoid excessive crop residues.
For Desi and Kabuli chickpeas, apply CLETHODIM 240 at a maximum of one application per season before the crop reaches the 9 node stage (18 cm height maximum) and when the annual grasses and volunteer cereals are in the 2 to 6 leaf stage.
