Krishikranti SUMETRA Metribuzin 70% WP is a selective, systemic pre-emergence and early post-emergence herbicide used in soybean, potato, wheat, sugarcane, and tomato. As a Group 5 photosystem-II inhibitor, Metribuzin is absorbed through both roots and leaves and controls broadleaf weeds and several annual grasses by stopping photosynthesis in target plants. It is the most trusted herbicide for weed-free soybean in India.

Key Benefits of SUMETRA (Metribuzin 70% WP)

  • Controls 20+ broadleaf weeds and several annual grasses
  • Dual action  works pre-emergence and early post-emergence
  • Absorbed through both roots and leaves for complete weed kill
  • 30–45 days of residual weed control
  • Highly effective in soybean against Trianthema, Amaranthus, and Echinochloa
  • Cost-effective at ~₹400–₹600 per acre

How SUMETRA Works

Metribuzin blocks photosynthesis inside target weeds by stopping electron transport in the chloroplast. As a result, weeds gradually turn yellow, then brown, and finally die from energy starvation within 7–14 days after spraying.

Roots absorb it from the soil during pre-emergence application, while leaves absorb it directly during early post-emergence spray. Crops like soybean, potato, and wheat tolerate the herbicide because they rapidly metabolize the molecule.

Spray Guidelines

  • Apply on moist soil with a fine tilth  not dry or waterlogged

  • Maintain a 4–6 hour rain-free window after spray
  • Do not disturb soil for 25–30 days after pre-emergence application
  • Use the lower dose on sandy soils; higher dose on heavy black/clay soils
  • Avoid in soybean varieties known to be sensitive  check with local advisory

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Metribuzin 70% WP used for?

Metribuzin 70% WP is a selective herbicide used to control broadleaf weeds and annual grasses in soybean, potato, wheat, sugarcane, and tomato. It works both as a pre-emergence and early post-emergence weedicide.

What is the dose of Metribuzin 70% WP per acre?

The recommended dose is 200–300 g per acre (500–750 g per hectare) in 200 liters of water for soybean and tomato. For potato use 250–400 g per acre, for wheat 100–150 g per acre, and for sugarcane 500–700 g per acre.

Current pack-wise price of Krishikranti SUMETRA Metribuzin 70% WP is listed on this page. Krishi Bhandar offers it at farm-gate rates with pan-India delivery and Cash on Delivery available.

When should I spray Metribuzin 70% WP in soybean?

Spray as a pre-emergence herbicide within 0–3 days of sowing on moist soil, before weeds and crop emerge. For early post-emergence use, spray 15–20 DAS when weeds are at the 2–3 leaf stage and soybean has 1–2 trifoliate leaves.

Is Metribuzin 70% WP safe for all soybean varieties?

Most commercial soybean varieties tolerate Metribuzin at the recommended pre-emergence dose. However, some varieties show transient yellowing or injury, especially on sandy soils or under heavy rainfall after spray. Use the lower dose on sandy/light soils and consult local advisory for variety sensitivity.

Can Metribuzin be used in wheat?

Yes. Metribuzin 70% WP is used in wheat as a post-emergence herbicide at 100–150 g per acre, 30–35 days after sowing, for broadleaf weed control. It is especially effective against Chenopodium album.

Does Metribuzin have soil residue?

Yes, Metribuzin has 30–45 days of residual activity, which is its main strength for season-long weed control. However, this means sensitive crops like vegetables, sunflower, and pulses should not be sown immediately after a Metribuzin-treated field.

Can Metribuzin be tank-mixed with other herbicides?

Yes. In soybean it is commonly tank-mixed with Pendimethalin 30% EC for broader spectrum pre-emergence control, or paired with Imazethapyr for post-emergence broadleaf control. Always perform a jar compatibility test first.

Best frisbees I’ve found for an active dog
Pattern Name: Assorted, Size: 9" Pack of 5, Pattern Name: Assorted, Size: 9" Pack of 5
My dog is an ACD/Border Collie mix, so he is absolutely obsessed with anything that flies or moves fast. We’ve gone through a lot of frisbees over the years, and these are the ones I keep coming back to. They fly really well once you get used to them, and they’re soft enough that I don’t worry about his teeth or mouth the way I do with harder plastic discs. They also hold up surprisingly well considering how rough he is with toys. Mine get used constantly in the yard, at parks, and near the water, and they’ve lasted much longer than most dog frisbees I’ve tried. I’ve bought several packs over the years, but honestly most of the damage has happened because my dog likes to lay down and chew on them after playing fetch. If I leave one sitting on the ground too long, he’ll eventually destroy it. That’s not really the toy’s fault though. In some ways I actually like that they’re soft and flexible enough for him to comfortably carry around and chew on a little. Another thing I appreciate is that they’re washable. After a muddy or slobbery session I can just rinse them off and they’re good to go again. For an active dog that loves chase and fetch games, these have been excellent.

Very durable
Pattern Name: Assorted, Size: Pack of 2
Awesome frisbee. Even if you don't have a dog! It's actually just nice to play with as people! Flies great. Left alone a dog with l can destroy it. It's not a chew toy, but it is a great game of fetch. Perfect size for medium and large dogs, plenty durable.

Very durable and amazingly fun
Pattern Name: Assorted, Size: Pack of 2
My dog loves frisbees, but now this is the only one I’ll ever buy again! If you’ve ever had a dog frisbees you know that some dogs can eat/chew-up a frisbee in literally minutes. Not this one, no way! I’ve bought several of these because I keep one in my truck, one on my boat, one for the backyard, and one just for the dog-park (can you say “community drool”? I take these everywhere (see videos) and every single dog that gets ahold of it loves it. As a matter of fact the only problem I’ve ever had with it is when I take my dog to the dog park all the other dogs fight over this frisbee. As far as quality it’s tough as nails, sure if my dog sat and gnawed on it for hours he might eventually tear it up but it would take a very long time and I would see him chewing it up. My dog and all the other dogs at the dog park will gnaw and chew on it and not one dog (from labs to retrievers to pitbulls to Rottweilers to even a malinois, a German Shepard and a massive cane corso to a little cur of a dog) not one has torn it up, and they ALL play tug of war with it. It’s great for teaching young and old dogs how to catch because it is soft enough not to bounce out of their mouth and they can catch it with a good grip. The best thing ever: it’s malleable and can be easily put back into a round shape even after heavy pulling. It floats on the water perfectly and will not sink no matter how wet with water (or drool!). On top of that it’s very light yet is easy to throw in even heavy wind, and as a frisbee guy for decades when I say it throws good, it’s pretty darn accurate whether wet or dry. Personally I have found I like the pink one the best (not the pink swirly one, even though it’s fine I like the black edging on the others as they seem tougher and more solid for throwing). The solid pink ones are easier to see in water, grass, dirt, etc. I have bought 5 of these so far, not because they get trashed or fall apart, but like I said it’s because I have one for every purpose. Highly recommend the solid pink as best color wise.
