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.

  • 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

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.

What is the price of Metribuzin 70% WP?

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.

My go-to energy drink for years, no crashes or headaches
Flavor Name: Zero Ultra, Size: 16 Fl oz (Pack of 15)
Consistent energy, good taste, and no weird side effects ✔️ Sugar-free with no crash ✔️ No headaches or jittery feeling ✔️ Clean, smooth energy boost ✔️ Good flavor without being overly sweet ✔️ Reliable enough for long-term daily use ✔️ Subscription makes it easy to keep stocked I’ve been buying Monster Zero Ultra for years and have it on subscription. It’s the one energy drink I consistently go back to. I've tried most others and they all leave me feeling weird. I actually feel a noticeable energy boost from it, but without the downsides I’ve had with other drinks. No headaches, no weird jittery feeling, and no crash later on. The flavor is also solid (this one and Ultra Violet are my go tos') , not overly sweet, and easy to drink regularly. I only buy sugar-free energy drinks, and this checks that box without sacrificing taste. I limit myself to one a day after the gym and water the rest of the day. After trying a lot of different brands, this is the one that’s stayed consistent for me, which is why I’ve kept it on subscription.

Clean, Crisp Energy Drink
Flavor Name: Zero Ultra, Size: 16 Fl oz (Pack of 15)
This energy drink has a light, crisp flavor that is noticeably less heavy than many traditional energy drinks. It has a slightly citrus style taste with a smooth carbonation that makes it easy to drink without feeling overly sweet or syrupy. The zero sugar formula keeps it feeling cleaner on the palate, which I appreciate when I want something refreshing instead of something thick or overly intense. It goes down easily and does not leave a strong aftertaste. I find the energy boost to be steady and consistent, without feeling like an abrupt spike. It feels more balanced, which makes it easier to use during long work periods or when I need to stay alert without feeling overwhelmed. The 16 ounce can size is convenient, and the pack format is practical for keeping stocked at home or grabbing on the go. It is easy to chill and stays refreshing cold. Overall, this is a smooth, lightly flavored energy drink with zero sugar, consistent performance, and an easy drinking profile that makes it a reliable option for everyday energy needs.
