Metro (Anu Products Limited) (Metsulfuron Methyl 20% WP) is a broad-spectrum, selective herbicide manufactured by Anu Products Limited. It is a wettable powder (WP) formulation containing 20% metsulfuron methyl, a potent sulfonylurea herbicide with rapid contact and residual activity.

Mode of Action: Metsulfuron methyl inhibits the enzyme branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) synthesis in susceptible plants, which is essential for protein synthesis. This disruption of protein synthesis leads to the accumulation of toxic compounds and ultimately cell death.

Target Weeds: Metro is effective against a wide range of grasses, sedges, and broadleaf weeds, including:

Dosage and Application: The recommended dosage of Metro varies depending on the crop, target weeds, and application method. For most crops, the recommended dosage is 25-50 g per hectare. Metro should be applied as a pre-emergence or early post-emergence herbicide. It can be applied as a broadcast application to the soil surface or as a directed spray to the base of weeds.

Benefits of Using Metro:

• Broad-spectrum activity against a wide range of grasses, sedges, and broadleaf weeds
• Selective activity, which means it is safe for use on a variety of crops
• Rapid contact and residual activity for effective control

Conclusion: Metro is a versatile and effective herbicide that can be used to control a wide range of grasses, sedges, and broadleaf weeds in a variety of crops. It is a good choice for farmers who are looking for a selective herbicide with rapid contact and residual activity, low use rates, and short residual activity.
