Description

Metazulfuron is a selective sulfonylurea herbicide known for its high efficacy and broad-spectrum weed control. This compound is valued for its low application rates and favorable environmental profile, making it a key tool in modern integrated pest management strategies. It is primarily required by agrochemical manufacturers and formulators serving the global agricultural sector for the protection of cereal crops and other key agricultural commodities.

Application

• Primary use as a selective post-emergence herbicide for weed control in cereal crops such as wheat and barley.
• Formulation into various commercial herbicide products, including wettable powders (WP) and suspension concentrates (SC).
• Control of a wide range of broadleaf weeds and some grass weeds in agricultural settings.
• Integration into crop protection programs for resistance management.
• Use in non-crop areas and industrial vegetation management, subject to local regulatory approvals.
• Manufacture of technical-grade active ingredient for supply to global agrochemical formulators.

Quality Control

Our Metazulfuron is produced under a strict quality management system 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. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with agreed specifications.

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.
