Application |

|
Metsulfuron-methyl is a selective systemic herbicide
absorbed through the roots and foliage, with rapid translocation
both acropetally and basipetally. Susceptible plants cease growth
almost immediately after post-emergence treatment and are killed
in 7-21 days. Surfactants increase the activity of metsulfuron-methyl
on certain broad-leaved weeds.
Metsulfuron-methyl controls a wide range of annual and perennial
broad-leaved weeds in wheat, barley, rice and oats, by either pre-
or post-emergence application, at 4-7.5 g/ha post-emergence.
