Metsulfuron-methyl Application

 

Metsulfuron-methyl is a residual sulfonylurea compound used as a selective pre- and postemergence herbicide for broadleaf weeds and some annual grasses. It is a systemic compound with foliar and soil activity, and it works rapidly after it is taken up by the plant.

Its mode of action is by inhibiting cell division in the shoots and roots of the plant, and it is biologically active at low use rates.

Metsulfuron-methyl controls a wide range of annual and perennial broad-leaved weeds in wheat, barley, rice and oats, rye, and pastures by either pre- or post-emergence application, at 4 -7.5 g /ha post-emergence.

It can be used with other foliar herbicides, and is typically applied on cereals at 0.004 - 0.007 pounds active ingredient/acre, and on non-crop areas at 0.005-0.160 pounds active ingredient/acre. Surfactants increase the activity of metsulfuron-methyl on certain broad-leaved weeds.
