Clustar

Advanced Weed Control for Broad-Leaved Crops

"Cletstar" is a systemic, selective herbicide designed for the professional management of grass weeds in a variety of crops. Formulated with clethodim, this post-emergence product is particularly effective against stubborn perennials like couch grass (Elymus repens), as well as various annual grass species that typically compete with yield-critical crops like soybeans, sunflowers, potatoes, and sugar beets.

Field Application Strategies

The product acts as a post-emergence foliar herbicide, meaning it is absorbed directly through the leaves of the target weeds. Once inside, it moves systemically to the growing points, effectively halting the plant's lipid synthesis. This results in the complete elimination of the weed, from the foliage down to the root system.

• Dosing Efficiency: With application rates between 0.4 and 1.8 L/ha, agronomists can tailor the treatment intensity to match the specific level of weed infestation in the field, ensuring a cost-effective solution.
• Crop Safety: As a selective herbicide, Cletstar is engineered to protect the primary crop while specifically targeting grass species, making it a reliable choice for canola, flax, peas, and more.
• Systemic Efficacy: Its role as a leaf-applied herbicide allows it to work effectively even in dense crop canopies where coverage is difficult, ensuring that the active ingredient reaches the systemic pathways of the weeds.

Operational Insights

Cletstar is supplied as an emulsifiable concentrate, which ensures consistent solubility and adhesion to the leaf surface. By scheduling the application during the active growth stage of the target grasses, growers can achieve maximum weed suppression in a single pass. As a Class 3 hazard product, standard safety protocols are required for preparation and handling, ensuring both operator safety and the long-term health of the soil and ecosystem.
