Description

Mcpa-Potassium Salt is the potassium salt form of MCPA, a widely used phenoxy herbicide. This formulation offers enhanced solubility and handling characteristics compared to the acid form, making it a key active ingredient in modern selective weed control systems. It is primarily utilized in the agricultural and horticultural sectors for the post-emergence control of broadleaf weeds in cereal crops, turf, and non-crop areas.

Application

• Selective Herbicide in Cereal Crops: Post-emergence control of broadleaf weeds such as chickweed, mayweed, and cleavers in wheat, barley, oats, and rye.
• Turf and Lawn Management: Weed control in managed turf for parks, sports fields, and golf courses.
• Pasture and Rangeland Management: Management of invasive broadleaf weeds to promote desirable forage growth.
• Non-Crop Area Maintenance: Vegetation control in industrial sites, roadsides, and right-of-ways.
• Formulation Intermediate: Used as a key component in the manufacturing of various liquid and soluble concentrate (SL) herbicide formulations.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the original container tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or reduced flowability.
