Description

Why choose Metkan 500 SC? Metkan 500 SC is a selective soil and foliar herbicide with systemic action that provides effective weed control from the very beginning of vegetation. It acts as a long-chain fatty acid biosynthesis inhibitor, effectively controlling weeds through their roots and hypocotyl – inhibiting their germination and growth.

Benefits of use:

  • Effective control of single- and dicotyledonous weeds;
  • Best results when applied before weed emergence;
  • Can be mixed with other herbicides to broaden the spectrum of action;
  • Long-lasting and systemic action – protection of the crop from the very start
