MATAR, KS (METRIBUZIN, 600 G/L)

Protecting Soybean Yields from Day One

When managing soybean fields, the biggest challenge is ensuring a clean start. MATAR, SC from Hangzhou Ruijiang Chemical Co., Ltd. is a powerful tool designed to eliminate major broadleaf weeds before the crop even emerges.

Performance and Weed Control

With 600 g/l of Metribuzin, this herbicide acts as a heavy hitter against tough weeds like common lambsquarters, pigweed, field mustard, and ragweed. Because it is a selective, systemic herbicide, it targets the weed root systems while sparing the soybeans, provided the dosage is adjusted to the soil type. Applying this pre-emergence creates a robust protective barrier, allowing the crop to establish itself without competition from early-season weeds.

Practical Operational Tips

• Soil Preparation: Soil-applied herbicides perform best on well-tilled, fine-textured seedbeds. Avoid cloddy soil to ensure the chemical can form a consistent barrier.
• Application Timing: Best results are achieved when applying immediately after seeding while there is sufficient soil moisture to activate the product.
• Safety and Compliance: Given its Class 2 hazard level, always follow local safety regulations. A single application per season is usually sufficient to manage the pressure from species like knotweed or chickweed.

Using MATAR, SC allows for predictable field performance with reasonable logistics. With support from Sidera-Agro, the product is well-documented, making it easier to integrate into your farm’s seasonal crop protection program. If you need a reliable solution to keep your soybeans weed-free during the critical early growth stages, this herbicide is a dependable choice that saves time and labor on subsequent passes.
