Product Overview
Clethodim 2E is a selective post-emergence herbicide for control of annual and perennial grasses. Clethodim 2E does not control sedges or broadleaf weeds. A reduction in vigor and growth is evident in treated grass weeds. Clethodim works by inhibiting key enzymes necessary for grass growth, leading to plant decline. Early chlorosis/necrosis of younger plant tissue is followed by a progressive collapse of the remaining foliage. Symptoms will generally be observed in 7- to 14-days depending on grass species treated and environmental conditions. Clethodim is highly effective in targeting grassy weeds while leaving broadleaf plants unaffected.
- Systemic herbicide which is translocated from the treated foliage to the growing points of the leaves, shoots and roots.
- Provides excellent tank mix compatibility with a variety of herbicides for more complete weed control on labeled crops.
- Over-the-top, postemergence control.
- Excellent plant safety profile.
