GENERAL INFORMATION
CLEVERDF Herbicide is a dry flowable herbicide for selective post-emergence control of green foxtail (including Group 1 and Group 3 resistant biotypes), volunteer flax, cleavers, and barnyard grass in hard red spring, Canadian prairie spring, durum, Canada Western extra strong wheats, spring barley and canary seed, canola (Brassica napus – all varieties, including conventional, Clearfield, LibertyLink and Roundup Ready),
Clearfield canola quality Brassica juncea (e.g. canola quality Brassica juncea varieties with the Clearfield trait) and brown and oriental tamemustard.
CLEVER DF Herbicide is a herbicide with mainly systemic action. Uptake into the plant occurs through both the foliage and root system. Thorough coverage of foliage is important for consistent weed control. Failure to penetrate crop or weed leaf canopies with the spray will result in inconsistent control of weeds growing underneath.
Visual symptoms of weed control of CLEVER DF Herbicide may take up to two weeks following application to develop. These symptoms include initial twisting to stunting, reddening and chlorosis about 14 days followed by necrosis and death about 21 days after application. Even though CLEVER DF Herbicide symptoms may take some time to develop, competition from the weeds treated with CLEVER DF Herbicide is eliminated soon after application.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Application Rate and Timing for Wheat, Spring Barley and Canary Seed DO NOT APPLY BY AIR.
Apply CLEVER DF Herbicide at 135-165 g/ha when weeds are small and actively growing. CLEVER DF
Herbicide will control the weeds at the timing detailed in Table 1. CLEVER DF Herbicide can be applied to wheat, spring barley and canary seed at the maximumapplication rates and timing detailed in Table 1.
Use the 135 g/ha rate ONLY for control of volunteer flax, barnyard grass, cleavers, lighter infestations of green foxtail and suppression of annual and perennial sow-thistle. Use the higher rate of 165 g/ha for control of heavier infestations of green foxtail. (Do not use the 165 g/ha rate on barley.) Use only the 135 g/ha rate when applying
CLEVER DR Herbicide to spring barley.
Improved cleavers control in canola may be accomplished using a rate of 62 g/ha when tank mixed with Liberty 150 SN Herbicide at a rate of 3.33 L/ha on Liberty Link Canola, or with glyphosate products (360 g/L acid equivalent (ae) isopropylamine salt formulations or 540 g ae/L potassium salt formulations) at a rate of 667 g ae/ha on Roundup Ready Canola. All glyphosate products must be registered for post-emergent use on glyphosate tolerant canola varieties.Application should be made from the 2 to 6 leaf stage of the canola crop when cleavers are between the cotyledon to 3 whorls stage.
DO NOT apply CLEVER DF Herbicide to any field more often than every second year. This practice must be respected in orderto avoid potential injury to future rotational crops, to minimize the potential for carryover and accumulation of soil residues, and to reduce the selection pressure which could contribute to the development of resistant biotypes.
Early treatment of weeds with CLEVER DF Herbicide is important to maximize crop yield potential through elimination of early weed competition. Some initial crop injury may be observed after application, but this is usually outgrown and should not affect crop yield
