Antelope, KE (clethodim, 360 g/l)

Targeted control of grass weeds in crops

«Antilopa, EC» by Shandong Weifang Rainbow is a specialized tool for agronomists facing weed pressure in sensitive broadleaf crops. Containing 360 g/l of clethodim, this systemic post-emergence herbicide is engineered to combat aggressive grasses like quackgrass, barnyard grass, foxtail, and wild oats.

Practical application and performance

The product is a selective herbicide, designed to be applied after weed emergence. Because it is systemic, the active ingredient moves through the plant foliage down to the growth points and roots. This is particularly effective for controlling perennial grasses, which often regrow if only the top growth is treated.

• Broad Spectrum: Suitable for use in soybeans, sunflowers, oilseed rape, sugar beets, flax, and potatoes. It selectively targets grasses without harming these specific crops.
• Usage Strategy: The application rate ranges from 0.4 to 1.2 L/ha, depending on weed density and growth stage. It is recommended for a single application per season for optimal results.
• Action Mechanism: Clethodim acts as a lipid synthesis inhibitor. Once applied, sensitive weeds stop growing almost immediately, with visual signs of death appearing within a few days.

For the best field results, timing is key: apply when weeds are actively growing. For annual grasses, the target is the 2–6 leaf stage; for perennial species, a height of 10–15 cm is ideal. This ensures that the systemic action is working at maximum efficiency.

Shandong Weifang Rainbow provides this product as an emulsifiable concentrate, which ensures consistent stability in the tank. Following proper safety protocols for a Class 3 hazard level substance is mandatory to maintain farm safety. By integrating «Antilopa» into your protection program, you effectively eliminate weed competition, allowing your main crop to utilize nutrients and moisture fully.
