Metric Herbicide is a pre-mixed formulation of two powerful, broad-spectrum herbicides: Metribuzin and Clomazone. This highly effective herbicide is specially designed for controlling broadleaf weeds and annual grasses in crops like potatoes and peas.
Key Components:
- Metribuzin (20%):
- Selective herbicide from the triazine chemical class.
- Acts as a foliar spray or soil treatment for pre-emergence and post-emergence weed control.
- Features residual soil activity, absorbed primarily by roots and partially by leaves, targeting weeds via photosynthesis inhibition.
- Clomazone (5.15%):
- Broad-spectrum herbicide effective against annual grasses and broadleaf weeds.
- Suitable for early preplant, pre-emergent, or preplant-incorporated applications depending on crop and location.
- Works by inhibiting plant pigment production, ensuring superior weed control but requires caution to avoid drift or vapors that may bleach non-target foliage.
Product Benefits:
- Combines two active ingredients for enhanced weed control.
- Effective against a wide range of weeds in potato and pea crops.
- Residual soil activity reduces the need for frequent reapplications.
- Improves crop health and yield by minimizing competition from weeds.
How to Use:
- Dosage: Follow the label instructions specific to crop type.
- Application Timing: Pre-emergence or post-emergence depending on the weed lifecycle and crop.
- Application Method: Mix the herbicide with water as directed and spray uniformly across the target area.
