Metsulfuron-Methyl Weed Killer 20%WP 60%WDG

Metsulfuron-Methyl is a selective, systemic herbicide for wheat fields. After being absorbed by the roots and leaves of weeds, it is quickly translocated within the plant, moving both upward and downward. It rapidly inhibits the growth of plant roots and new shoot tips within a few hours, leading to plant death within 3 to 14 days. Once absorbed by wheat seedlings, metsulfuron-Methyl is converted by enzymes within the wheat plants and degrades rapidly, which gives wheat a high level of tolerance to this product. The application rate is low, and it has high solubility in water, allowing it to be adsorbed by the soil, where it degrades slowly, especially in alkaline soils.

Application

Metsulfuron-Methyl effectively controls various weeds, including wild oats, chickweed, field bindweed, shepherd’s purse, wild mustard, bittercress, kochia, lambsquarters, smartweed, barnyard grass, and water peanut.

Metsulfuron-Methyl is characterized by its high efficiency, broad spectrum, and systemic action. The application rate is 4.5 to 7.5 grams of active ingredient per hectare, used to control various broadleaf weeds in cereal fields. It can be absorbed by both the roots and leaves, and is translocated upward and downward within the plant.

It is active against weeds such as wild oats, ryegrass, smartweed, bindweed, chickweed, shepherd’s purse, poppy, wild sesame, and buckwheat. However, it is not very effective against pigweed. Increasing the dosage may cause slight yellowing and stunting of the crops, but it does not affect yield.
