Effective control of grass weeds in crops

«Arrow EC» (Ерроу КЕ), manufactured by Adama Agan Ltd., Israel, is a highly specialized tool for controlling grass weeds chosen by professionals to protect vegetable and field crops. The active ingredient, clethodim, is a systemic component that rapidly penetrates the leaf surface and blocks weed growth at the cellular level.

When to use «Arrow EC»

Agronomists use this herbicide as a reliable post-emergence solution. Its selectivity allows for the safe treatment of crops such as onions, carrots, potatoes, fodder beets, as well as soybeans and sunflowers. The primary objective is clearing fields of difficult-to-control grasses that compete with the main crop for moisture and nutrients.

Key targets:

• Couch grass (Elymus repens)
• Barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli)
• Yellow foxtail (Setaria pumila)
• Wild oats (Avena fatua)
• Common windgrass (Apera spica-venti)

The product is supplied as an emulsifiable concentrate, ensuring excellent solubility and stability of the working solution. Due to its systemic mode of action, it effectively eliminates both the aerial part of the weed and its root system, which is particularly critical for controlling couch grass.

Practical application aspects

For maximum efficacy, a single treatment per season is sufficient. Application rates vary from 0.4 to 1.8 l/ha, depending on the weed spectrum and growth stage. As a foliar herbicide, it is essential to spray during the period of active weed growth so that the clethodim can reach the plant growth points as quickly as possible. Being a Class 3 hazard product, standard safety protocols must be followed during application.
