AP-Metol, CE

Reliable control of grassy weeds at the start

In intensive farming, it is critical to secure fields against weed pressure before they compete with crops for moisture and nutrients. AP-Metol, KE by Agrarprofi is a selective soil herbicide chosen by agronomists to protect sugar beet, corn, sunflower, and soybean crops.

Field performance

The key advantage of this product is its multifaceted action. By combining systemic and contact properties, AP-Metol effectively blocks the germination of annual grassy weeds. As a pre-emergence herbicide, it forms a protective barrier in the topsoil layer. By being absorbed through the coleoptile, the active ingredient halts weed cell division, causing the weeds to die before they even emerge.

Application tips

• Application rate: the product is applied at a rate of 1.0 to 2.0 L/ha, depending on the weed density and soil type.
• Application technology: it is essential to ensure uniform application on well-prepared soil with sufficient moisture content. The treatment is carried out in a single pass; maximum of 1 application per season.
• Flexibility: the ability to apply the herbicide both before and after crop emergence provides a wider window for field operations, allowing for optimized machinery usage during the busy season.

Using AP-Metol, KE is an investment in early-stage crop cleanliness, exactly when the plant is most vulnerable. With its Hazard Class 3 rating, it requires standard safety precautions, but its high selectivity ensures excellent safety for the target crops when applied according to the guidelines.
