Crystal Clinton Herbicide – Glyphosate 41% SL
Crystal Clinton is a non-selective systemic herbicide formulated with Glyphosate 41% SL. It is designed for the management of annual and perennial weeds and works through systemic absorption and movement within susceptible weed plants.
After foliar application, Clinton is absorbed through the green portions of target weeds and translocated within the plant. Its mode of action involves inhibition of EPSP synthesis, interfering with essential processes required for weed growth.
Important: Clinton is a non-selective herbicide. Avoid spray contact or drift onto desirable crops and other green vegetation.

Target Weeds
Crystal Clinton is intended for management of annual and perennial weeds according to the current registered product label.
- Annual grasses
- Perennial grasses
- Broadleaf weeds
- Other susceptible actively growing weeds listed on the product label
Mode of Action
Clinton contains Glyphosate 41% SL. After application to susceptible weed foliage, Glyphosate is absorbed by green plant tissues and translocated within the weed. It inhibits EPSP synthesis, interfering with processes necessary for normal plant growth.
Systemic Weed Control
Unlike a purely contact herbicide, Clinton moves within susceptible weed plants after absorption. This systemic movement helps the active ingredient reach actively growing portions of the weed, including below-ground tissues.
Non-Selective Herbicide
Clinton is a non-selective herbicide. This means spray contact can also damage desirable green vegetation. Application should therefore be carefully directed only toward target weeds according to label instructions.
Benefits
- Helps control annual weeds.
- Helps control perennial weeds.
- Systemic movement within susceptible weed plants.
- Acts beyond only the directly contacted leaf surface.
- Suitable for registered weed-management applications.
- SL formulation allows convenient spray-solution preparation.
Recommended Dose
Use strictly according to the dose printed on the original Crystal Clinton label or leaflet.
The required dose can depend on the registered application, target weed species, weed growth stage and other label conditions. Do not exceed the recommended label dose.
How to Use
- Correctly identify the target weeds.
- Read the original Clinton product label before use.
- Measure the herbicide according to the registered label dose.
- Partially fill the spray tank with clean water.

- Avoid spray drift onto desirable vegetation.
- Follow all label instructions concerning application timing and safety.
Application Guidelines
- Apply only to target weeds listed or permitted on the product label.
- Ensure weeds have sufficient green foliage for foliar application.
- Use correctly calibrated spraying equipment.
- Apply uniformly without unnecessary runoff.
- Avoid spraying during strong wind.
- Prevent drift onto neighbouring crops.
- Do not apply indiscriminately over desirable vegetation.
Important Crop Safety Information

- Vegetable crops
- Fruit plants and young green shoots
- Nursery plants
- Ornamental vegetation
- Farm boundaries containing desirable plants
Spraying Precautions
- Use suitable spraying equipment.
- Avoid excessive pressure that can increase drift.
- Do not spray in windy conditions.

Is Clinton a systemic herbicide?
Yes. Clinton is systemic and is absorbed by susceptible weed foliage before moving within the plant.
What type of weeds does Clinton control?
Crystal identifies Clinton for control of annual and perennial weeds.
How does Clinton work?
It is absorbed through target weed foliage, translocated within the plant and inhibits EPSP synthesis required for normal plant growth.
Can Clinton be sprayed directly over a standing crop?
Because Clinton is non-selective, it should not be allowed to contact desirable green crop tissue unless the specific application is expressly permitted by the current registered label.
What is the dose of Crystal Clinton?
Use only the dose printed on the current original Clinton product label or leaflet for the intended registered application.
