Product Overview

Metrite Herbicide is a selective pre-emergence and post-emergence herbicide that effectively controls a broad range of broadleaf and grassy weeds in various crops, including vegetables, fruits, ornamentals, and turfgrass. It contains the active ingredient metribuzin, a triazinone herbicide that disrupts photosynthesis in susceptible weeds, leading to their death. Metribuzin is moderately soluble in water and has a moderate residual effect, providing lasting weed control.

Mode of Action

Metrite Herbicide acts as a pre-emergence and post-emergence herbicide. Metribuzin is absorbed by plant roots and foliage and disrupts photosynthesis in susceptible weeds. This disruption prevents the production of essential plant sugars and carbohydrates, leading to starvation and eventual death of the weeds.

Application Rates

The recommended application rate of Metrite Herbicide varies depending on the specific target weeds, crop, soil type, and environmental conditions. It is essential to consult the product label for precise application rates tailored to each scenario.

Application Methods

Metrite Herbicide can be applied as a pre-emergence or post-emergence treatment. Pre-emergence applications are typically made before weeds emerge, while post-emergence applications are made after weeds have emerged. Metrite Herbicide can be applied using various methods, including broadcast spraying, directed spraying, and incorporation into the soil. The choice of application method depends on the crop, soil conditions, and grower's preference. Refer to the product label for specific application instructions for each method.

Restrictions

As with any herbicide, there are certain restrictions to consider when using Metrite Herbicide:

• Avoid applying Metrite Herbicide to crops under stress from drought, heat, or other environmental conditions.
• Maintain a minimum interval of 7-10 days between Metrite Herbicide application and other pesticide applications.
• Do not apply Metrite Herbicide to crops that are flowering or intended for human or animal consumption within the specified pre-harvest interval (PHI).
• Avoid using Metrite Herbicide in areas with sandy soils or high groundwater levels, as it may leach into water sources.

Storage and Disposal

Proper storage and disposal of Metrite Herbicide are crucial to ensure its effectiveness and safety:

• Store Metrite Herbicide in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture.
• Dispose of unused Metrite Herbicide and empty containers according to local regulations, avoiding contamination of water sources or the environment.

Safety Precautions

When handling and applying Metrite Herbicide, it is essential to prioritize safety:

• Wear personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, goggles, and a respirator, to minimize exposure to the product.
• Avoid direct contact of Metrite Herbicide with skin, eyes, or clothing.
• Handle Metrite Herbicide away from food and drink.
• Keep Metrite Herbicide out of reach of children and pets.
• Do not apply Metrite Herbicide in windy conditions to prevent drift onto non-target areas.
