A selective, systemic and contact herbicide of the triazinone group for pre- and post-emergence weed control.
METRIGARD contains metribuzin 70% WP, a selective, systemic and contact herbicide of the triazinone group. It controls narrow-leaf and broad-leaf weeds in sugarcane, potato, tomato, soybean and wheat, in pre- and post-emergence applications.
METRIGARD is absorbed mainly by the roots, and also by the leaves, and moves through the plant in the xylem. It inhibits photosynthesis at photosystem II and acts on both grasses and broad-leaf weeds. Because it works through roots and leaves, it can be applied before or after the weeds emerge.
“A selective, systemic and contact herbicide of the triazinone group.”
METRIGARD is used in potato, tomato, soybean, wheat and sugarcane against weeds such as Phalaris minor, Chenopodium album, Melilotus spp., Parthenium hysterophorus, Digitaria spp. and Cyperus rotundus.
