METAGRI (METAGRI)

Controlling Broadleaf Weeds with METAGRI: An Agronomist’s Perspective

When weeds like field sow-thistle, catchweed bedstraw, or common lambsquarters start competing with my winter wheat or corn, I look for a solution that hits hard but keeps the crop safe. METAGRI by Agri Sciences Tarim ve Ilac has become a reliable staple in our spray program. It is a selective, systemic herbicide that focuses on results.

Why it Works: The Systemic Approach

The core of METAGRI is florasulam. From an operational standpoint, I appreciate how it acts. It penetrates the leaf tissue quickly and moves systemically through the weed, causing rapid cessation of cell division. You don't have to wait long to see progress—growth stops almost immediately after application, and the weeds are gone within a week or two.

Application and Field Logistics

• Crops: Highly effective on winter and spring wheat, winter barley, and corn.
• Dosage: A rate of 0.4–0.6 L/ha allows for adjustment based on the weed pressure in specific blocks.
• Method: Post-emergence, leaf-applied herbicide.

The suspension concentrate formulation is operator-friendly. It mixes well in the tank, doesn't foam excessively, and maintains a clean nozzle performance, which saves time during the busy spring season. We perform one application per season, which is sufficient to clear out stubborn weeds like redroot pigweed, shepherd's purse, and common chickweed.

Managing the Field

Since METAGRI is a Class 3 hazard, proper PPE is a standard requirement. In the field, I’ve found it to be very predictable; it doesn't cause crop stress when used according to the label. If you are looking for a reliable, professional-grade solution from the Agri Sciences team, this product offers that balance of effectiveness and ease of use. With local support available in Kyiv, the supply chain is straightforward, making it a solid choice for any operation looking for clean, high-yielding fields.
