Select

Japanese precision in grass weed control

Managing grass weeds like couch grass (Elymus repens) in sensitive crops requires a balance between lethal power against weeds and safety for the main plant. Select by Arysta LifeScience is a globally recognized systemic herbicide that has earned its reputation through decades of consistent performance in various climates and farming systems.

The Power of Clethodim

The core of Select's effectiveness lies in its active ingredient, clethodim. It is a highly selective, post-emergence herbicide that functions by inhibiting the synthesis of fatty acids within the plant. Because it is systemic, it translocates quickly from the treated leaves to the meristematic tissues, ensuring that both the top growth and the root system of stubborn perennial weeds are completely controlled.

Strategic advantages for the grower

• Crop Safety and Versatility: Select is registered for a wide array of crops including onions, carrots, cucumbers, cabbage, sugar beets, soybeans, and winter rapeseed, allowing for flexible crop protection plans.
• Rate Flexibility: With a labeled rate range of 0.5 to 1.0 L/ha, growers can adjust the dosage based on the weed pressure and the growth stage of the infestation.
• High-Quality Formulation: As an emulsifiable concentrate, the product ensures superior leaf coverage and efficient penetration, which is vital for post-emergence applications.

Known for its reliability as a "safety net" herbicide, Select is typically applied after weed emergence. Its selective action makes it an indispensable tool for intensive vegetable and field crop production where early-season weed competition can significantly jeopardize yields. By choosing Select, farmers are opting for a well-tested, Japanese-engineered solution that offers peace of mind through consistent weed management.
