This product is a selective postemergence herbicide for control of annual and perennial grasses. CLETHODIM 2EC AG does not control sedges or broadleaf weeds and is not recommended for use on vegetable crops being grown for seed production unless specific instructions are included in this labeling.
Repeated use of CLETHODIM 2EC AG (or similar postemergence grass herbicides with the same mode of action) may lead to the selection of naturally occurring biotypes that are resistant to these products in some grass species. Biotypes are naturally occurring individuals of a species that are identical in appearance but
have slightly different genetic compositions; the mode of action of a herbicide is the chemical interaction that interrupts a biological process necessary for plant growth and development. If poor performance occurs and cannot be attributed to adverse weather or application conditions, a resistant biotype may be present. Where other control strategies, such as crop rotation, mechanical removal, and other classes of herbicides are not used in fields from year to year, this is most likely to occur.
Contact of this product with desirable grass crops, such as corn, rice, sorghum, small grains, or turf should be avoided as these and other grass crops will be injured or killed. Minor leaf spotting can occur on treated plants under certain environmental conditions. New foliage is not affected.

SYMPTOMS OF CONTROL
The treated grass weeds show a reduction in vigor and growth. Early chlorosis/necrosis of younger plant tissue is followed by a progressive collapse of the remaining foliage. Depending on grass species treated and environmental conditions, symptoms will generally be observed in 7 to 14 days after application.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Timing
Make application of CLETHODIM 2EC AG postemergence to actively growing grasses according to the rate table recommendations. Do not make application to grass plants stressed by insufficient moisture or hot or cold temperature. Applications to grass plants exceeding recommended growth stages could result in
unsatisfactory control. Do not make applications when this occurs. When irrigation is used to supplement limited rainfall in arid regions, CLETHODIM 2EC AG should be applied as soon as possible, after an irrigation (within 7 days). A second application of this product will generally provide more effective control of perennial grass weed than a single application in arid regions. Apply a second application to actively growing grass 2 to 3 weeks after emergence of new growth. Cultivation of treated grasses 7 days prior to or within 7 days after application of this product could reduce weed control. DO NOT APPLY if rainfall is expected within one hour as control may be reduced.
