Description

Metazachlor is a selective pre-emergence herbicide belonging to the chloroacetamide chemical class. It is valued for its effective control of a broad spectrum of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in key agricultural crops. This product is essential for agricultural chemical formulators and producers seeking reliable active ingredients for crop protection solutions. Its consistent quality ensures optimal performance in end-use formulations.

Application

• Primary Use as a Herbicide Active Ingredient: Formulated for pre-emergence weed control in oilseed rape (canola), soybeans, and corn.
• Agricultural Formulations: Used in the manufacture of emulsifiable concentrates (EC), suspension concentrates (SC), and other crop protection products.
• Selective Weed Management: Effectively targets weeds like black-grass, annual meadow-grass, and chickweed while maintaining crop safety.
• Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Programs: Serves as a key component in resistance management strategies.
• Industrial and Non-Crop Use: Applicable in certain non-agricultural areas for total vegetation control, subject to local regulatory approvals.
