Product Info

Overview

Cletho 240 EC is a selective post-emergence herbicide for grass weed control in broadleaf crops and forestry.

Witholding

There is no withholding period, however it is recommended to avoid grazing weeds after spraying for 3 days if treating annual weeds and 7 - 10 days if treating perennial weeds to allow translocation of the product through the plant.

Resistance

Cletho 240 EC Selective Herbicide is a member of the cyclohexanedione group of herbicides. Cletho 240 EC Selective Herbicide has the inhibition of acetyl CoA carboxylase mode of action. For weed resistance management, Cletho 240 EC Selective Herbicide contains a Group A Herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to Cletho 240 EC Selective Herbicide and other Group Herbicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any weed population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly. These resistant weeds will not be controlled by Cletho 240 EC Selective Herbicide or other Group A Herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Kenso NZ Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Cletho 240 EC Selective Herbicide to control resistant weeds. To prevent or delay the development of resistance, use Cletho 240 EC Selective Herbicide in tank mixtures where appropriate, and/or in rotation with herbicides having a different mode of action against the weed.
