Application Areas
Type of herbicide: Belonging to cyclohexenone selective herbicides, mainly used for controlling annual and perennial grasses. By inhibiting the acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACCase) in weed meristem tissue, it interferes with fatty acid synthesis, leading to growth arrest and death of weeds.
Storage conditions
Temperature: Store in a cool and dry place, avoid high temperatures (recommended below 30 ℃) or freezing.
Humidity: Moisture resistant, keep the packaging sealed, prevent clumping or degradation.
Avoid light: Store in the original packaging or light shielded container, away from direct sunlight.
Packaging integrity: Keep the original packaging (usually plastic bottles or aluminum foil bags), and if damaged, transfer to a sealed container and label it.
Safety precautions
Personal Protection
When applying pesticides: Wear protective clothing, gloves (nitrile or rubber), goggles, and a mask (N95 or chemical mask).
Avoid contact: Do not eat, smoke, and prevent medication from coming into contact with the skin, eyes, or inhaling dust/mist droplets.
First-aid measures
Inhalation: Transfer to fresh air and administer oxygen when breathing is difficult.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting, seek medical attention immediately, and carry the product label.
Special precautions
Low toxicity to bees, but avoid flowering plants after application.
Some crops, such as rice and corn, are sensitive to Clethodim and require careful rotation or isolated planting.
