Abstract

Research was conducted to determine foliar absorption of 14C-clethodim and its polar degradation products with five adjuvants and to compare the relative herbicidal activity of clethodim and its polar degradation products. Differential 14C-clethodim and 14C-polar degradation products absorption occurred among the five adjuvants. Adjuvants that mediated rapid foliar absorption of clethodim did not always mediate rapid foliar uptake of polar degradation products. Herbicidal activity of clethodim exceeded activity of polar degradation products regardless of time of day of application or whether adjuvant was used. Inclusion of adjuvant was required for herbicidal activity of polar degradation products. Clethodim activity declined when applied at 0800 h EDT compared to applications at 2000 h EDT. To maximize herbicidal activity of clethodim, adjuvants should be selected that mediate rapid foliar absorption of both clethodim and the polar degradation products of clethodim and that minimize photodegradation of clethodim.
