Group 2 Herbicide

The Macspred Metmac 600WG Herbicide is a Group 2 Herbicide with 600 g/kg Metsulfuron Methyl as its active ingredient. It is used for controlling brush and broadleaf weeds in native pastures, rights of way, commercial and industrial areas, as well as in winter cereal crops, grass pastures, and pasture renovation.

Key Features:

• Broad spectrum - Use Metmac alone or in a mixture controls a broad spectrum of different species of brush, broadleaf and bulbous weeds. Mixed infestations of hard to control woody weeds, including Lantana, Gorse, Bracken, Tree-of-Heaven, St John’s Wort and Blackberry, Metmac can be sprayed in one pass. Metmac also controls nuisance pasture weeds, including Doublegee, Erodium, Sorrel, Onion grass and Paterson’s Curse (refer to label).

• Dry flowable product (1kg packs) - Metmac is easy to transport, store, handle, measure and mix.

• Low application rate - Metmac is highly active, meaning less chemical is used per hectare.

• Non hormonal, non volatile - Metmac can be safely applied near horticultural crops providing adequate measures are taken to avoid physical spray drift.

• Unscheduled poison - Metmac has a relatively low toxicity and is classed as an unscheduled poison. When used as directed, it does not create any hazards to humans, fish or animals.

• No withholding period for grazing - the half-life of residues on foliage treated with Metmac is less than one day; after 3 days, essentially no residues can be detected. Livestock DO NOT have to be removed from the paddock during spraying or immediately afterwards. Metmac does not accumulate in animals or the environment: it is readily metabolized in and eliminated from animals via natural processes.

• Biodegradable - Metmac degrades rapidly in the environment. Metmac degrades readily in the soil and is not considered a persistent herbicide. Metmac exhibits a half life of about 4 weeks when it is used at normal rates.

• Compatible with other selective and knockdown herbicides and insecticides - Metmac is compatible with the non-selective herbicide, glyphosate, and the pasture herbicides, 2,4-D amine, MCPA amine, clopyralid and dicamba for even broader spectrum control when cleaning pastures. Metmac is also compatible with the commonly used pasture insecticides chlorpyrifos and omethoate.

• Safe to the environment  - Metmac is very low in toxicity to mammals, birds, fish and insects.
