FAQ
What is Metsulfuron-methyl 60% WDG?
Metsulfuron-methyl 60% WDG is a highly effective
herbicide used to control a wide range of broadleaf weeds in various crops. It is a
water-dispersible granule formulation that is easy to apply and provides long-lasting
control.
How does Metsulfuron-methyl 60% WDG work?
Metsulfuron-methyl inhibits the
growth of weeds by disrupting their enzyme systems, leading to stunted growth and eventually
death. It is absorbed by the plant through the leaves and roots, providing systemic control
of the target weeds.
What crops can Metsulfuron-methyl 60% WDG be used
on?
Metsulfuron-methyl 60% WDG can be safely used on a wide range of crops, including
wheat, barley, oats, sugar cane, and pasture grasses. It is important to always refer to the
product label for specific guidelines on crop use and application rates.
What types
of weeds can be controlled with Metsulfuron-methyl 60% WDG?
Metsulfuron-methyl 60% WDG is
effective against a broad spectrum of broadleaf weeds, including thistles, clover,
chickweed, dandelions, and many others. It provides excellent control even on hard-to-kill
weeds, making it a versatile herbicide for weed management.
How should
Metsulfuron-methyl 60% WDG be applied?
Metsulfuron-methyl 60% WDG should be applied as a
foliar spray using water as the carrier. It is important to carefully follow the recommended
rates and application timings to achieve optimal weed control. Always use proper personal
protective equipment when handling and applying the herbicide.
Is Metsulfuron-methyl
60% WDG safe for the environment?
Metsulfuron-methyl 60% WDG is considered safe for the
environment when used according to label directions. It has low toxicity to non-target
organisms, and it degrades quickly in the soil, minimizing the risk of environmental
contamination. However, it is important to avoid drift and runoff to protect sensitive
areas.
What are the benefits of using Metsulfuron-methyl 60%
WDG?
Metsulfuron-methyl 60% WDG offers several benefits to farmers and agricultural
professionals. It provides effective control of a wide range of weeds, has a low risk of
resistance development, and is easy to apply. It also has a long residual activity, reducing
the need for frequent reapplications.
Are there any precautions to take when using
Metsulfuron-methyl 60% WDG?
When using Metsulfuron-methyl 60% WDG, it is important to
avoid spray drift onto non-target areas, such as neighboring crops, water bodies, and
sensitive habitats. It is also recommended to rotate herbicides with different modes of
action to prevent weed resistance.
How soon can I expect to see results after
applying Metsulfuron-methyl 60% WDG?
In general, visible symptoms of weed control with
Metsulfuron-methyl 60% WDG can be seen within a few days to weeks after application,
depending on the weed species and environmental conditions. Complete control of the target
weeds may take a few weeks to fully manifest.
Can Metsulfuron-methyl 60% WDG be
tank-mixed with other herbicides?
Metsulfuron-methyl 60% WDG can be tank-mixed with
certain other herbicides to improve control of tough weed species or to broaden the spectrum
of weed control. It is important to conduct a compatibility test before tank-mixing and
always follow the label instructions for proper mixing and application.
