Description

Metsulfuron is a highly effective sulfonylurea herbicide known for its potent post-emergence weed control at very low application rates. This compound is critical for modern agricultural practices, offering selective action against a broad spectrum of broadleaf weeds and some grasses. It is primarily utilized by agrochemical formulators and agricultural professionals in the production of crop protection products for cereals, pastures, and non-cropland areas. Metsulfuron CAS NO 5585-64-8 represents a key active ingredient for sustainable and efficient weed management programs worldwide.

Application

• Selective Herbicide Formulations: Primary use as an active ingredient in post-emergence herbicide products for wheat, barley, oats, and rye.
• Pasture and Rangeland Management: Control of invasive broadleaf weeds in grasslands and non-crop areas to improve forage quality.
• Industrial Vegetation Control: Management of weeds along railways, roadways, and in utility rights-of-way.
• Turf Management: Used in professional turf settings for the selective control of certain weed species.
• Forestry Applications: Site preparation and vegetation management in forestry operations.
• Agricultural Research: Serves as a reference standard and active ingredient in agrochemical research and development.

Quality Control

Our Metsulfuron is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. The product undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and impurity profiling, to meet technical-grade specifications for agrochemical use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and related substances are provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your formulation requirements.

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). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
