PEST MANAGEMENT: WEEDS Alert®, a New Clomazone Formulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new formulation of clomazone (the active ingredient in Command herbicide) was evaluated at four locations in 2010. The trade name of this product is Alert® and it was developed by Cheminova. The level of crop response and barnyardgrass control observed with Alert was similar to that of Command herbicide. Furthermore the rate structure and level of control observed by soil type appears to be the same for Alert as previously documented for Command. Based on this data, it appears that the Alert formulation of clomazone is as effective and has similar crop safety to the existing Command formulation of clomazone.

Environmental fate and toxicology of clomazone.
Clomazone, an isoxazolane herbicide, was first registered for use in 1986 for pest grasses and broad leaf weeds. Although the exact mode of action is still unclear, it is well documented that clomazone causes bleaching of foliar structures; the clomazone metabolite 5-ketoclomazone is regarded to cause the bleaching and to be the ultimate plant toxicant. Although clomazone exhibits low mammalian...

متن کاملInfluence of Formulation on Mobility of Clomazone in Soil
The mobility of clomazone [2-(2-chlorobenzylo)-4,4-dimetylo-1,2-oxazolidin-3-one] in a loamy sand soil and a sand soil was studied in a soil column under laboratory conditions. Commercial clomazone formulation (Command 480 EC) and clomazone immobilized in an alginate matrix were used for a leaching experiment. For both formulations, the same dose of 2.0 mg of the active substance was applied. A...

BACKGROUND Pesticides are developed with carriers to improve their physicochemical properties and, accordingly, the bioefficacy of the applied formulation. For foliar-applied herbicide, generally less than 0.1% of the active ingredient reaching the target site could reduce pesticide performance. Recently, a carrier of nanoemulsion consisting of oil, surfactant and water, with a particle size of...
