General Product Information
Category
Herbicides > Triazinone herbicides
Activity
 The mode of action of metamitron is to disrupt photosystem II, inhibiting electron transport. It is applied as a foliar spray, and is absorbed effectively through the leaf surface and the roots. Once absorbed it is translocated acropetally to the leaves of the target plants.
CropUse
Being a selective herbicide, metamitron can be used on pre-emergance or post-emergance weeds. Target plants are weeds of fodder beet, mangels, red beets and sugar beets.  These include grasses and broad-leaved weeds. 
Formulation
WG = Water dispersible granules
WP = Wettable powder
Premix
Premix Parters: desmedipham, ethofumesate and phenmedipham

Environmental fate: 
Animals:In mammals, following oral administration, elimination occurs within 48 hours, approximately equally in the urine and faeces (c. 98%).Soil:In soil, metamitron is degraded very rapidly. Leaching behaviour can be classified as medium mobile; no leaching into groundwater occurred. Rapid photodecomposition on soil surfaces and in aqueous solution is an important process for the degradation of mePlant:In sugar beet, the principal metabolite is 3-methyl-6-phenyl-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one.
