Clethodim is a selective herbicide used to control grass weeds in broadleaf crops. It works by inhibiting acetyl-CoA carboxylase, an essential enzyme for fatty acid synthesis in grasses, leading to their death. Clethodim is commonly applied to crops like soybeans, cotton, and vegetables. Its effectiveness and selectivity make it a valuable tool in integrated weed management. Research on clethodim focuses on its environmental impact, resistance management, and optimizing application techniques for sustainable agriculture.
