SHEDOV, KE, (Klethrom, 120 g/l)

Professional Control of Grass Weeds

When dealing with aggressive grass weeds like couch grass or barnyard grass, I rely on SHEDOV, EC (Clethodim 120 g/l). This systemic herbicide is a staple in my pest management program, particularly when protecting high-value crops like soybeans, sunflowers, or potatoes. It offers excellent selectivity, meaning it targets problematic grasses without compromising the main crop's health.

Field Performance and Application

The beauty of this product lies in its systemic action. After application to the foliage, the clethodim is translocated directly to the growth points of the weed, resulting in rapid visible control. In my experience, even established weeds like wild oat or green foxtail show significant chlorosis and decay shortly after treatment. Since it comes as an emulsifiable concentrate, it mixes seamlessly in the spray tank, which is a major time-saver during a busy planting season.

• Crop Versatility: Equally effective on oilseed rape, flax, sugar beets, and even onions.
• Technical Ease: The formulation is stable, reliable, and compatible with most spray equipment without clogging nozzles.
• Selectivity: High efficacy against monocot weeds while keeping your primary crop completely safe.

Practical Tips for Success

Working as an operator, I prioritize timing. Applying the product while weeds are in the 2–4 leaf stage is essential for maximum performance. Because it is a systemic herbicide, full coverage of the leaf area is non-negotiable; consistent nozzle pressure is key here. By following the recommendations from Arysta LifeScience S.A.S., you ensure that you aren't just treating the symptoms, but effectively cleaning the field of competitive grasses. It is a no-nonsense, high-performance product that fits perfectly into a modern integrated weed management plan.
