Metostar

Metostar

Metostar is a selective pre-emergence herbicide containing Metolachlor 50% EC. It is widely used for effective control of annual grasses and certain broadleaf weeds. Metostar works by inhibiting cell division and elongation in germinating weed seeds, thus preventing weed emergence before it affects the crop.

Its residual activity ensures long-lasting weed suppression, giving crops a weed-free environment during the crucial early growth stages.
