ENVIRONMENTAL FATE
The substance is toxic to aquatic organisms. This substance does enter the environment under normal use. Great care, however, should be taken to avoid any additional release, for example through inappropriate disposal.
Usage: Herbicide developed by Bayer Leverkusen, patents: USP 3847914; Belg P 799854; BP 1368416. Selective, systemic, absorbed mainly by roots and translocated. Inhibits photosynthesis (photosystem II).
Application: Selective systemic herbicide, absorbed predominantly by the roots, but also by the leaves, with translocation acropetally. Used against grass and broad-leaved weeds in sugar and fodder beets. Applied pre-drilling incorporated, pre- and post-emergence (post-emergence as sequential treatment tank-mixed with oil or other herbicides). Metamitron Also used in mangold, red beet and certain strawberry varieties. Metamitron Rates 0.35-4.2 kg/ha for all crops. Phytotoxicity High selectivity in sugar and fodder beet.
