| Uptake and Translocation |
Primarily absorbed through the roots and is translocated
through the xylem in the plant. |
| Basis of Selectivity |
Blocks chlorophyll metabolism. Clomazone is metalized
in soybeans. |
| Application Methods |
Preemergence, before crop or weed emergence. Apply
after seeding and before soybeans or cucumbers emerge. Use the
lower recommended rate on coarse (sandy loam) soils, and the higher
recommended rate on fine (silt, clay, clay loam) soils. Apply
in 95 to 375 L water/ha. |
| Residual Activity |
When applied at reccommended rates, Command 360
ME will provide season long weed control. It is relatively immobile
in soil and microbial decomposition is the principle path of dissipation.
Some rotational restrictions apply, refer to tables
4-3 and 4-4
for more information. Soil texture impacts residual and product
efficacy, see product label for appropriate rates. |
| Unique Characteristics |
Sensitive plants in the application zone will turn white (bleached)
as carotenoid biosynthesis is inhibited. Avoid off-target drift
to prevent foliar damage to neighbouring vegetation. Cherry,
willow, raspberry, grapes, and roses are extremely sensitive
and many other species are sensitive.
