Description

Metazachlor is a selective pre-emergence and early post-emergence herbicide belonging to the chloroacetamide chemical class. It is a critical active ingredient for effective weed control in a variety of broadacre and specialty crops, offering reliable residual activity. This product is essential for agricultural formulators and producers seeking high-quality agrochemical intermediates to develop crop protection solutions. We supply Metazachlor CAS NO 67129-08-2 to the global market with a focus on consistent purity and reliable supply chain logistics.

Application

• Primary Herbicidal Active Ingredient: Used in the formulation of selective herbicides for pre- and post-emergence weed control.
• Oilseed Rape (Canola) Protection: A cornerstone for controlling grass and broadleaf weeds in rapeseed and canola crops.
• Vegetable Crop Management: Applied in crops such as cabbage, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts for selective weed management.
• Ornamental Plant Production: Utilized in nursery and ornamental plant cultivation to maintain weed-free beds.
• Industrial Vegetation Control: Employed in non-crop areas for managing unwanted vegetation.
• Agrochemical Intermediate: Serves as a key starting material or intermediate for further synthesis of advanced crop protection products.
