Technical Name: Metribuzin 70% WP

JU Metri is a powerful, broad-spectrum, selective herbicide designed for effective weed control in diverse crops, including potato, tomato, soybean, wheat, and sugarcane. Formulated with Metribuzin 70% WP, it provides both pre-emergence and early post-emergence protection, effectively managing a wide array of grassy weeds, broadleaf weeds, and sedges.

Key Features & Benefits:

1. Dual-Action Efficiency: Works through both root uptake and leaf absorption for superior weed control.

2. Broad-Spectrum Control: Effectively targets difficult weeds, including the resilient Phalaris minor.

3. Economical Solution: High efficacy at low dosage rates, offering a cost-effective choice for farmers.

4. Environmentally Sound: When used as directed, it leaves no major residual effects on succeeding crops in the rotation.

5. Selective & Safe: Carefully formulated to eliminate invasive weeds while protecting your primary crop investment.

Technical Specifications:

1. Mode of Action: Inhibits Photosystem II (blocks electron transport during photosynthesis), leading to cellular starvation, chlorosis, and weed death.

2. Systemic Nature: Translocates through the plant xylem after absorption.

Application & Dosage Guide:

Method of Application: Ground spray using a knapsack or power sprayer fitted with a flat-fan nozzle for uniform soil and weed coverage.

1. Water Volume: 200–400 L/acre depending on the crop.

Best Practices for Optimal Results:

1. Timing:

   • Sugarcane: Pre-emergence (3–5 days after planting); Post-emergence (25–30 days after planting).

   • Potato: Pre-emergence (3–4 days after planting); Post-emergence (when plants reach 5 cm height).

   • Tomato: Pre-planting (1 week before); Post-planting (15 days after).

2. Conditions: Apply when soil moisture is adequate. Avoid spraying during high winds or heavy rainfall to prevent drift and wash-off.

3. Precision: Ensure accurate dosage based on soil type to avoid potential crop phytotoxicity.

Safety & Storage:

1. Personal Protection: Wear gloves, masks, goggles, and full-sleeve clothing during application.

2. Handling: Do not eat, drink, or smoke while spraying. Wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly after handling.

3. Storage: Keep in the original sealed container, under lock and key, in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, food, and water sources.

4. Disposal: Do not reuse empty containers; dispose of them safely, far from water bodies and habitations.
