Product Information
Cleantraxx herbicide is a selective herbicide for preemergence and postemergence residual weed control of certain broadleaf and grass weeds in noncropland. Apply Cleantraxx from early fall to late winter or in early spring, prior to germination of targeted weeds, as per labeled use directions. The best weed control is obtained by application to weeds either preemergence or early postemergence when weeds are small and actively growing. Any cultural practices that disturb or redistribute surface soil following treatment with Cleantraxx such as cutting water furrows, cultivation, disking treated soil areas, etc., will reduce weed control effectiveness. Observe all use directions as provided in the Use Precautions and Restrictions section of the label.
Use Precautions
Cleantraxx controls susceptible weeds germinating from seed.
Tank mix Cleantraxx with approved postemergence herbicides (such as glyphosate) for the best control of emerged weeds.
Tank mix Cleantraxx with approved preemergence herbicides to broaden the spectrum of overall weed control. Cleantraxx is stable on the soil surface for up to 21 days, but must be incorporated by moisture to provide effective preemergence control of susceptible weeds. A single rainfall of 0.5 inches or more, within 21 days after application, is necessary to activate Cleantraxx™.
Read and observe all label directions before using. When tank mixing, read and carefully follow all applicable use directions, precautions, and limitations on the respective product labels. In interpreting all labels for the tank mixture, the most restrictive labels must apply. Directions provided in the Use Precautions and Use Restrictions sections of this label apply to all uses of this product.
For the best weed control, apply Cleantraxx as a preemergence application prior to weed emergence during the winter dormant period.
Where rate ranges are given, use a lower rate in the rate range on coarse textured soils low in organic matter, lighter weed infestations and for reduced lengths of residual weed control. Use a higher rate in the rate range on medium to fine textured soils, soils containing higher organic matter, heavy weed infestations, or for extended residual preemergence weed control.
Preemergence weed control is most effective when Cleantraxx is applied to soil surfaces that are clean (free of weed residues or clippings) and weed free.
Any cultural practices, cultivation, or disturbance of the soil surface after application will decrease the weed control provided by Cleantraxx™.
Use Restrictions
Cleantraxx can be applied as an early postemergence application to susceptible weeds during the winter dormant period. For postemergence applications, Cleantraxx must be applied with an adjuvant. For the best control of emerged grass and broadleaf weeds, apply a tank mix of Cleantraxx with a postemergence herbicide registered for use on the specific site.
For postemergence applications, Cleantraxx must be applied with an approved adjuvant.
Do not apply more than 4.5 pints of Cleantraxx per acre per year.
Do not apply Cleantraxx until soil has been settled by packing or rainfall.
Do not make over-the-top applications to any crop unless specifically allowed in use directions.
Do not apply Cleantraxx when weather conditions favor drift. Avoid drift to all non-target crops and areas.
Do not treat inside banks or bottoms of irrigation ditches, either dry or containing water, or other channels that carry water that may be used for irrigation or domestic purposes. Do not contaminate water used for irrigation or domestic purposes.
Do not graze or harvest plants from areas treated with Cleantraxx for feed or forage for domestic livestock.
Do not apply to frozen soil or snow covered soil.
Do not apply Cleantraxx in enclosed greenhouses as foliage injury may result.
Weed Resistance and Integrated Pest Management
Cleantraxx contains two modes of action in one product. The modes of action of Cleantraxx are the inhibition of the acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme (Group B) and inhibition of protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) (Group E). Weed populations may develop biotypes that are resistant to different herbicides with the same mode of action. If herbicides with the same mode of action are used repeatedly on the same site, resistant biotypes may eventually dominate the weed population and may not be controlled by these products. Other resistance mechanisms, such as enhanced metabolism, may also exist and may cause reduced weed control.
Use this product as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program and resistance management strategies and practices that delay or reduce the development of resistant weed biotypes. Such practices include mechanical weed control, tank mixes of multiple herbicide products with multiple modes of action, correct weed pest identification, and treating when target weed populations are at the correct stage and economic thresholds for control.
To delay development of herbicide resistance:
Always use at least the minimum rate specified by the label and observe all use rate instructions.
It is recommended not to use herbicides with the same single mode of action in sequential applications unless tank mixed with an alternative mode of action product that is effective on the target weeds. • Use herbicides based upon an IPM program.
Monitor treated areas and control escaped weeds.
Contact local extension or crop advisor for IPM and resistance management information.
Preemergence Weed Control
Apply the specified rate of Cleantraxx in a broadcast spray volume of water per acre using calibrated spray equipment capable of uniform application to the soil surface. Seedling weeds are controlled as they come into contact with the soil applied herbicide during emergence. Preemergence weed control is most effective when Cleantraxx is applied to soil surfaces that are clean (free of weed residues or clippings) and weed free. At least 0.5 inch of water or rainfall is required to activate Cleantraxx and should occur within 21 days after application. For optimum results, apply Cleantraxx to soil surfaces that will be left undisturbed during the time period for which weed control is desired. Cultural practices that disturb or redistribute surface soil following treatment with Cleantraxx™, such as cutting water furrows, cultivation, disking treated soil areas, etc., will reduce weed control effectiveness.
Preemergence Application Rates and Rate Ranges: Where a rate range is given, use a lower rate in the rate range on coarse textured soils with light weed infestations and for reduced lengths of residual weed control. Use a higher rate in the rate range on medium to fine textured soils, heavy weed infestations, or for extended residual preemergence weed control.
Postemergence Weed Control
Apply Cleantraxx in sufficient spray volume to ensure adequate weed coverage. Apply the specified rate in a broadcast spray volume of at least 10 gallons of total spray volume per acre; for best results, apply in 20 to 30 gallons of total spray volume per acre. Because Cleantraxx is a contact plus translocated herbicide, complete and uniform coverage of weed foliage is essential for optimum postemergence control. Increase the spray volume to ensure complete and uniform coverage as weed height and density increases or in the presence of heavy weed or crop residue. Postemergence applications of Cleantraxx are most effective when made to weeds at the seedling stage. Applications made later than the 4-inch or 4 leaf stage of susceptible weeds may result in partial control or suppression. Make postemergence applications to seedling grasses not exceeding the 2-leaf stage.
The addition of 1 quart per acre of crop oil concentrate or methylated seed oil, or 0.25% v/v (2 pints per 100 gallons of spray) of an 80% active nonionic surfactant labeled for application to growing food crops, is required for effective postemergence control of susceptible emerged weeds.
For complete control of emerged weeds, mix postemergence applications of Cleantraxx with a broad spectrum, postemergence foliar herbicide, such as glyphosate. When tank mixing, read and carefully follow all applicable use directions, precautions, and limitations on the respective product labels.
Postemergence Application Rates: Where a rate range is given, use a higher rate in the rate range for heavy weed infestations, weeds in advanced stages of growth, or for extended residual preemergence weed control following control of existing emerged weeds.
Ground Application
Broadcast Application
Apply Cleantraxx using conventional low-pressure ground spray equipment. Check calibration of spray equipment before use.
Directed Spray Application
Apply Cleantraxx as a medium to coarse low pressure spray in a spray volume of 10 to 30 gallons of spray per acre (broadcast basis).
Young green stems of some woody plants are susceptible to injury from spray contact. Potential for injury to woody stems diminishes with loss of green color and the development of relatively impervious non-living corky tissue (bark) on the surface of the stem.
Spray Drift Buffer Restrictions
A 25 foot vegetative buffer strip must be maintained between all areas treated with this product and lakes, reservoirs, rivers, permanent streams, marshes or natural ponds, estuaries and commercial fish farm ponds.
For ground applications, apply with nozzle height no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy and when wind speed is 10 mph or less at the application site unless equipment and local regulations allow.
Use coarse spray according to ASABE S-572 definition for standard nozzles.
The applicator also must use appropriate measures necessary to control drift.
Aerial Application
Avoid drift. Care must be exercised to prevent spray drift that could result in damage to other crops or desirable vegetation. Do not apply aerially unless crop specific use directions specifically allow aerial application. Adhere to the following guidelines when aerial applications are to be made.
Spray Drift Management
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The potential for spray drift is controlled by the interaction of many equipment and weather related factors. The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions. The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target drift movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops.
The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 of the length of the wingspan or rotor.
Nozzles should point backward parallel with the air stream and should not be pointed downwards more than 45 degrees. Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed. The applicator must adhere to the following requirements when Cleantraxx is aerially applied:
Do not apply when inversion conditions exist, or when wind velocity exceeds 10 mph.
When wind speeds are 5 mph or less, maintain a minimum downwind buffer zone of 150 feet from dormant tree nut crops.
When wind speeds are between 5 and 10 mph, downwind buffer zones in excess of those listed above are suggested.
For upwind and side borders, maintain a minimum buffer zone of 150 feet from any non-targeted vegetable fallow bed, crop, or desirable vegetation.
Note: Aerial applicators must be familiar with the label for Cleantraxx and follow all applicable use precautions. Applying Cleantraxx in a manner other than specified in this label is done at the user's risk. Users are responsible for all loss or damage resulting from aerial spraying. In addition, aerial applicators should follow all applicable state and local regulations and ordinances. In interpreting the label and local regulations, the most restrictive limitations apply.
Mixing Directions
Cleantraxx – Alone
Shake well before use. Fill the spray tank at least one-third full of clean water. With the pump and agitator running, add the specified amount of herbicide to the spray tank. The order of addition to the spray tank is wettable powders first, flowables second and soluble liquids last. Complete filling of the spray tank with water. Maintain agitation until spraying is completed.
Cleantraxx– Tank Mixes
Preemergence Herbicides: For preemergence residual control of grass weeds not listed on the label for Cleantraxx apply Cleantraxx in a tank mix with approved label rates of a broad spectrum preemergence herbicide. Follow all label use instructions and restrictions.
Surfactants: Adjuvants are required for all applications of Cleantraxx where postemergence broadleaf and grass weed control is desired. For best results, add a minimum of 1 quart per acre of crop oil concentrate (COC) or methylated seed oil (MSO), or 0.25% to 0.5% v/v of a 80% active nonionic surfactant is recommended to enhance postemergence activity when hard water (greater than 600 ppm) is used.
Adjuvants containing organosilicone are not recommended.
Postemergence Herbicides: For complete control of existing broadleaf and grass weeds not listed on the label for Cleantraxx apply Cleantraxx in a tank mix with approved label rates of a broad spectrum postemergence herbicide such as glyphosate according to label requirements. Follow all label use instructions and restrictions.
Tank Mix Precautions:
Read and carefully follow all applicable use directions, precautions, and limitations on the respective product labels. In interpreting the labels of tank mixed products, the most restrictive label limitations must apply.
Tank Mix Restrictions:
Do not exceed specified application rates.
Do not tank mix with another pesticide product that contains the same active ingredient as this product unless the label of either tank mix partner specifies the maximum dosages that may be used.
Tank Mix Compatibility Testing: A jar test is recommended prior to tank mixing to ensure compatibility of this product and other pesticides. Use a clear glass quart jar with lid and mix the tank mix ingredients in their relative proportions. Invert the jar containing the mixture several times and observe the mixture for approximately 1/2 hour. If the mixture ballsup, forms flakes, sludges, jels, oily films or layers, or other precipitates, it is not compatible and the tank mix combination should not be used.
Sprayer Clean-Up
Thoroughly flush spray equipment (tank, pump, hoses and boom) with clean water before and after each use. Residues of Cleantraxx remaining in the spray equipment may cause injury to subsequently treated crops. Thoroughly clean spray equipment, including all tanks, hoses, booms, screens and nozzles, before using to apply other pesticide products.
Clean-Out Procedures for Spray Equipment:
1. Drain any remaining spray mixture from the application equipment.
2. Hose down the interior surfaces of the tank while filling the tank 1/2 full with water.
3. Add household ammonia at the rate of 1 gallon per 100 gallons of water. Recirculate for 5 minutes and spray out part of this mixture for 5 minutes through the boom. Drain tank.
4. Remove all spray nozzles and screens and clean separately.
5. If spray equipment will be used for pesticide application to crops sensitive to Cleantraxx, repeat steps 1 through 3. Thoroughly clean exterior surfaces of spray equipment.
Note: Rinsate may be disposed of on site according to label use directions or at an approved waste disposal facility.
Weed Controlled
Restrictions
Do not apply more than 4.5 pints of Cleantraxx per acre per year on a broadcast basis. If 4.5 pints of Cleantraxx per acre is used in the dormant period, make no additional applications of Cleantraxx in the non-dormant season of the same year.
