DIRECTIONS FOR USE
IMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the Product Label. All instructions within this section must be read carefully to ensure the safe and successful use of this product.

Clayton Mondello SC is a versatile, crop-safe selective herbicide with both contact and residual properties, acting through leaf and root uptake for the control of annual weeds in sugar beet, red beet, fodder beet, and mangels. Clayton Mondello SC is absorbed by the roots of emerging weeds.

RESTRICTIONS AND WARNINGS

• Pre-emergence application is not recommended on organic soils.

Factors affecting crop tolerance:

Clayton Mondello SC provides excellent safety to beet crops while maintaining consistent weed control when used as recommended. However, the beet plant can be sensitive to herbicide treatments if the following stress factors occur:

• Use of previously applied pesticides and herbicides (other than Clayton Mondello SC pre-emergence on mineral soils)

• Soft growth after prolonged rain

• Sudden changes in temperature

• High light intensity or high radiant temperatures

• Prolonged periods of low temperatures

• Insect and fungal attack

• Wind damage

• Nutrient deficiencies, such as manganese

If these or other stress-inducing conditions arise, cotyledon tip scorch may occasionally occur. Under these conditions, crop tolerance to Clayton Mondello SC + Cropspray 11E may be reduced, particularly when used in combination with other herbicides, either as tank-mixes or sequentially.

Uneven application:

Spraying may be uneven due to factors such as equipment movement, ground undulations, or proximity to hedgerows. This can lead to localized high doses of chemicals, potentially damaging the crop. The suppliers cannot accept responsibility for such damage.

RESISTANCE

This product contains metamitron, a Group C1 herbicide, as classified by the Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC). Repeated use of herbicides with the same mode of action can increase the risk of resistant weed strains developing, leading to poor control. To minimize this risk, adopt a strategy to prevent and manage resistance.

Resistance management strategy:

• Apply products with different modes of action in sequence or tank-mixes where two or more components target the same weed species.

• Use the recommended rate of Clayton Mondello SC and ensure the correct application timing for the most difficult-to-control weed species in the field.

• Use effective cropping rotation and cultivation techniques, such as stale seedbeds and non-selective herbicide applications before drilling.

Further guidance on weed resistance management is available from HRAC and the Weed Resistance Action Group (WRAG). Follow WRAG guidelines for best practices.
