M Methyl 20
Metsulfuron Methyl 20% WP
Description: Metsulfuron Methyl 20% WP is a selective, systemic herbicide designed for pre-emergence and early post-emergence control of broadleaf weeds in various crops. It is part of the sulfonylurea group of herbicides, which work by inhibiting key enzymes in weed growth, providing long-lasting and effective weed management. This herbicide is highly effective at low application rates, making it a cost-effective and eco-friendly solution for weed control.
Key Features:
- Selective herbicide that targets broadleaf weeds without harming crops.
- Systemic action ensures deep penetration and eradication of weeds.
- Pre- and early post-emergence application for flexible use.
- Highly effective at low dosages, reducing application costs.
- Compatible with a wide range of crops, including cereals, rice, and sugarcane.
- Provides long-lasting control, minimizing the need for repeated applications.
- Environmentally friendly with minimal residual effects when used as directed.
Mode of Action: Metsulfuron Methyl inhibits the acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme in weeds, disrupting protein synthesis and halting growth, leading to weed death. It is absorbed through the roots and foliage, providing systemic action for complete weed control.
Target Crops and Weeds:
| Crop | Target Weeds | Dosage (g/acre) | Water Volume (liters/acre) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wheat | Chenopodium album, Melilotus alba, Rumex spp., and others | 4–8 | 200–400 |
| Rice | Eclipta alba, Monochoria vaginalis, Ludwigia parviflora, and others | 6–8 | 300–400 |
| Sugarcane | Amaranthus spp., Ipomoea spp., Euphorbia spp., and others | 6–8 | 300–400 |
How to Use:
- Mix the recommended dosage (4–8 grams per acre) in a small amount of water to form a slurry.
- Gradually add the slurry to the required volume of water in a sprayer and stir well.
- Apply uniformly using a flat fan or flood jet nozzle for best results.
- Ensure application during the early stages of weed growth for maximum efficacy.
Precautions:
- Wear protective clothing, gloves, and goggles during mixing and application.
- Avoid spraying in high wind or rain to prevent drift and wastage.
- Do not use on crops or weeds not listed on the product label.
- Clean sprayer equipment thoroughly after use to avoid contamination.
Benefits:
- Reduces weed competition, ensuring better crop yield and quality.
- Minimizes labor costs and effort required for manual weed removal.
- Environmentally safe and economical with precise application rates.
- Promotes healthy crop growth by eliminating harmful weeds.
Note: Always follow label instructions for dosage, timing, and safety precautions. Use Metsulfuron Methyl 20% WP as part of an Integrated Weed Management (IWM) strategy for sustainable and effective weed control.
