Metribuzin 70% WP

Category:

Description

It is a selective, post-emergence herbicide used to control a wide range of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in a variety of crops. It is a systemic herbicide, hence absorbed by plants’ leaves and roots and distributed throughout the plant, eliminating weeds from the inside out.

Mode of action:

It belongs to the triazine herbicide group and works by inhibiting photosynthesis in susceptible plants. When applied to the soil or foliage, Metribuzin is absorbed by the roots or leaves of target weeds. It then translocated throughout the plant, interfering with the photosynthetic process by disrupting electron transport and inhibiting the production of chlorophyll. This leads to a gradual yellowing and browning of the weeds, ultimately resulting in their death.

Benefits:

  • Effective against a wide range of weeds
  • Systemic action provides long-lasting control
  • Safe for use on a variety of crops
  • Interferes with the production of chlorophyll
