ICAMA No. PD20093488

Product Name: Clethodim

CAS: 99129-21-2

Physical and chemical properties: The original medicine is amber transparent liquid with relative density 1.14 (20 ℃) and vapor pressure <1 × 10-2mPa (20 ℃). It is soluble in most organic solvents, stable under ultraviolet light, but unstable at extreme pH.

Toxicity: The acute oral toxicity of original medicine LD50 in rats was 1360 mg / kg (female) , 1630 mg / kg (male). The acute dermal toxicity LD(50) in rabbits was more than 5g/kg. The acute inhalation LC50 in rats (4 hours) is more than 4.6mg/L . No effect dose during Feeding test: rat 16mg / kg • d, mice 30mg / kg • d. ADI by humans is 0.01 mg / kg. The acute oral toxicity LD50 in quails is more than 2g / kg. The acute inhalation LC50 (8 days) in wild ducks and quails is more than 6g / kg. The LC50 in daphnias is > 120mg / L. The LD50 in insects is 454 mg / kg. The LC50 in blue gill fish (96 hours)is > 120mg / L, The LC50 in rainbow trout is 5056mg / L. The LD50 in bees is > 100μg per bee.Mode of action It is a selective, systemic post-emergence herbicide which can be rapidly absorbed by plant leaves and conducted to roots and growing points to inhibit the biosynthesis of plant branched-chain fatty acids. The target weeds then grow slowly and lose competitiveness with seedling tissue early yellowing and followed by the remaining leaves wilting. Finally they will die.

Target plants: Suitable for broad-leaf plants. All tested plants of non-grass family were highly resistant to RE-45601 throughout the entire growth and development period, even applied with 2 kg ai / hm2 (8-20 times higher than herbicides) plus vegetable oil 2.341 / hm2, the situation still remains the same.Soybeans and cotton can be sowed immediately after application of RE-45601. Other crops can be sowed 4 months after application of RE-45601 at a dose of 1.12 kg ai / hm2 or less.

Application: Applicable to annual and perennial grass weeds and many Field maize cereals withbroad-leaf. (1) annual species (84-140 g ai / hm2): Kusamiligus ostreatus, wild oats, wool millet, brachiopod, mangrove, black brome, ryegrass, gall grass, French foxtail, hemostatic horse, Golden Foxtail, Crabgrass, Setaria viridis, Echinochloa crus-galli, Dichromatic Sorghum, Barnyardgrass, Wheat, Lemna, Corn; Barley , (2) Arabian sorghum of perennial species (84-140 g ai / hm2); (3) Perennial species (140 ~ 280g ai / hm2) bermudagrass, creeping wild wheat.

It’s not or slightly active against broad-leaf weeds or Carex. The crops of grass family such as barley, corn, oats, rice, sorghum and wheat are all susceptible to RE-45601. Therefore the autogenesis plants in the filed where crops of non-grass family can be controlled with RE-45601.
