Metsulfuron-methyl

Metsulfuron-Methyl — High-Efficiency Sulfonylurea Herbicide for Reliable Weed Management

Metsulfuron-methyl is a highly selective, systemic sulfonylurea herbicide known for its exceptional weed-control performance at very low use rates. Designed for modern agricultural, forestry, and industrial vegetation management, it targets broadleaf weeds and certain annual grasses across a wide range of crop and non-crop settings.

Key Features & Mode of Action

Systemic Action: Quickly absorbed through foliage and roots, then translocated throughout the plant’s vascular system.

ALS Inhibitor: Blocks the acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme, effectively stopping amino acid synthesis and inhibiting cell division, leading to the controlled death of susceptible weeds.

Low Application Rate: Highly active at grams-per-hectare levels, reducing handling requirements and overall application costs.

Application Areas

Cereal Crops: Wheat, barley, oats

Rice Fields: Effective both pre-emergence and early post-emergence

Pasture & Rangeland: Controls persistent broadleaf species

Forestry: Site preparation, conifer release, and long-term vegetation management

Non-Crop Areas: Roadsides, industrial sites, utility rights-of-way, and other maintenance zones
