Clethodim 2e to selectively kill grass in clover plot

[birdog]

The folks at Drexel told me if you mix 2-4db and cleth together to use cleth at the max rate. Apparantley 2-4db will reduce or weaken the effectiveness of cleth.

I was needing to kill NWSG in my pollinators. A Purdue study can be found on line. Good info but what they say to do was use Clethodim full strength and then two weeks later second application full strength. Killed 75% of 16"mature grass. As posted make sure its not yellow nutsedge instead on grass.

FTR...cleth label says no more than 1 application annually, no more than 16 oz. in an app, and no more than 16 oz. per acre, per year on clover

Yes, and the college research said different. When I get time will try to find and post. Did not have any effect on CRP pollinators.

I don't question that, but the label is the law. Only reason I posted the info.

I'm pretty sure if you have a commercial applicators license and don't follow the label on a pesticide you can lose the license.

In and around water I can see that.

Herbicide manufactures are dealing with many variables and easier to say no more that 16 oz a year knowing lawyers think they have deep pockets.
