Product scienceHow It Works: Mode of Action
Metri Herbicide works by starving the weed of energy. It is a photosynthetic inhibitor that disrupts the plant's ability to process sunlight.
- Absorption: Upon spraying, the herbicide is rapidly absorbed by the roots (from soil) and leaves (from direct contact).
- Translocation: It moves upward through the plant's water channels (xylem), spreading the active ingredient to the stems and foliage.
- Elimination: It blocks the electron transport chain in the chloroplasts. This stops energy production, causing the weed to turn yellow (chlorosis), dry out, and die within 1-2 weeks.

How to applyDosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Adjust dose based on soil type (use higher dose for heavy clay soils, lower for light sandy soils).
How to applyDosage per Acre, Water Volume, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Approx Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wheat | 100 - 120 g | 200 L | 0.5 - 0.6 g | 120 |
| Soybean | 200 - 300 g | 200 L | 1.0 - 1.5 g | 120 |
| Sugarcane | 400 - 500 g | 200 - 250 L | 2.0 g | 120 |
| Potato | 200 - 300 g | 200 L | 1.0 - 1.5 g | 120 |
| Tomato | 200 - 300 g | 200 L | 1.0 - 1.5 g | 60 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Note: Doses are in grams (g) as this is a powder formulation.
Useful detailsHow to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing (Wheat): Apply Post-Emergence between 30-35 Days After Sowing (DAS). Applying too early may harm the crop; applying too late reduces control.
- Timing (Soybean/Potato): Best used as Pre-Emergence (0-3 DAS). Spray immediately after sowing but before crop seedlings emerge.
- Mixing: As a Wettable Powder, Metri must be mixed well. Fill the tank half with water, add the powder while stirring, then fill the rest. Maintain agitation.
- Coverage: Use a flat fan nozzle. Ensure soil has adequate moisture at the time of application for best results.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid inhalation of dust.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Metri safe for all Soybean varieties?
Some sensitive varieties, like JS 335, can suffer injury from Metribuzin. If you are planting JS 335 or are unsure of your variety's tolerance, consult an agronomist or use a lower dose on a small test patch first.
2. Can I plant Mustard immediately after harvesting a Metri-treated crop?
Caution is advised. Metri has residual activity that can affect sensitive succeeding crops like Mustard, Lentils, or Sunflower. A safe gap of 4+ months is usually required for Wheat, but sensitive crops may need longer. Conduct a simple soil bioassay before planting Mustard.
3. Is this herbicide rainfast?
Yes, Metri is rainfast approximately 6 hours after application. For pre-emergence use, light rain after 24 hours actually helps activate the chemical in the soil.
4. Can I mix Metri with other herbicides?
Yes. In Wheat, it is often mixed with Clodinafop (Topic) for broader grass control. In Soybean, it works well with Pendimethalin. Always dissolve the Metri powder in water before adding other liquid chemicals (EC/SL).
5. Why is soil moisture important?
Metri needs soil moisture to be absorbed by weed roots. If the soil is completely dry, the herbicide stays on the surface and will not kill the weeds effectively.
