Metro Star Metribuzin 70% WP | Skyn Crop Care

Effective weed management is a critical challenge for farmers aiming to maximize crop yields and maintain soil health. Uncontrolled weed growth competes with crops for nutrients, water, and sunlight, leading to significant reductions in productivity. To address this issue, Skyn Crop Care introduces Metro Star, a potent herbicide designed to provide comprehensive weed control across various crops. Its selective systemic action ensures that your crops remain healthy and free from the detrimental effects of invasive weeds.​

Overview

Metro Star is a selective systemic herbicide formulated to combat a wide range of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds. Absorbed predominantly by the roots and also by the leaves, it translocates acropetally in the xylem, ensuring thorough distribution within the plant system. This dual absorption mechanism enhances its efficacy in pre- and post-emergence applications.​
