Clethodim 240g/L EC

Selective Post-Emergent Control of Grass Weeds

Clethodim 240 g/L EC is a systemic, post-emergent herbicide designed for the selective control of annual and perennial grass weeds in broadleaf crops. It features low toxicity, low residue, and high crop selectivity, making it ideal for integration into modern weed management programs.

Manufactured by Shijiazhuang POMAIS Technology Co., Ltd, Clethodim 240 EC is absorbed quickly by foliage and translocated to the meristems and root zones, resulting in growth inhibition and plant death. This formulation is especially effective in cooler climates due to its enhanced low-temperature stability.

Mode of Action

Clethodim belongs to the cyclohexanedione (DIM) herbicide group, acting as an ACCase (acetyl-CoA carboxylase) inhibitor. It blocks lipid biosynthesis in grass weeds, leading to meristematic cell death.

Upon application, Clethodim is absorbed by leaf tissue and rapidly translocated within the plant's vascular system. Symptoms such as chlorosis and necrosis appear within 2–7 days, followed by weed desiccation.

Target Weeds & Use Spectrum

Clethodim is highly effective against:

Annual grasses: Barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli), Wild oats (Avena fatua), Green foxtail (Setaria viridis), Crabgrass (Digitaria spp.)
Perennial grasses: Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon), Quackgrass (Agropyron repens), Johnson grass (Sorghum halepense)

It is commonly used in:

Soybeans (spring/summer)
Cotton, peanuts, and tobacco
Potatoes and oilseed rape
Orchards and vineyards

Application Methods & Recommended Dosage

Apply Clethodim 240 g/L EC using ground equipment with proper nozzle configuration for fine droplet coverage.

Crop Type	Target Weeds	Dosage (ml/ha)	Method
Potato field	Annual grasses	300–600	Spray
Winter rapeseed	Annual grasses	225–375	Spray
Spring soybean	Annual grasses	420–525	Spray
Summer soybean	Annual grasses	255–420	Spray

Optimal application timing: 3–5 leaf stage of grass weeds
Avoid spraying during high heat, drought, or cold stress
Use clean water and suitable adjuvants for enhanced leaf penetration

Key Advantages of Clethodim 240 EC

High Selectivity: Safe for broadleaf crops even under intensive weed pressure
Strong Systemic Action: Translocates to roots and growing points for full kill
Low-Temperature Stability: Performs well in early spring and cooler regions
Excellent Tank Mix Flexibility: Compatible with many broadleaf herbicides
Low Residue Profile: Minimal carryover or soil persistence

Rainfastness & Environmental Profile

Rainfast within 1 hour after application
Rapid degradation in aerobic soils; no long-term environmental impact
Not classified as hazardous to beneficial insects or soil microbes
Avoid direct contamination of water bodies

Tank Mix Compatibility & IWM Use

Clethodim can be mixed with:

Bentazone or 2,4-D for broadleaf weed inclusion
Nonionic surfactants (NIS) to improve coverage
Fungicides or micronutrients where allowed

It integrates well into Integrated Weed Management (IWM) strategies, especially where resistant grass weed biotypes are present.
