Herbicide injury

Plants can develop symptoms that resemble a viral disease when exposed to some herbicides either as a result of drift or at an excessive rate, which can occur when there is a miscalculation, the sprayer is stopped at the end of the field before turning off the boom, or there is an intense rain after application that moves the herbicide to the crop roots.

Following images are injury caused by clomazone, which is in the herbicides Command and Strategy.
