Meteor Extra 500 SC

Starting Strong: Working with Meteor Extra 500 SC

Spring field operations are a race against time, where the main goal is to give the crop an edge over weeds. This soil-applied, systemic herbicide acts as an invisible shield, controlling both broadleaf and grass annual weeds.

Application and Effectiveness

The product comes as a suspension concentrate. Being a pre-emergence treatment, it only requires a single application, which is crucial during the busy spring season. With a consumption rate of 4–4.5 liters per hectare, it covers large areas efficiently. The active substances (terbuthylazine, S-metolachlor) create a robust barrier, provided the soil is well-leveled and adequately prepared.

Why Meteor Extra 500 SC is a practical choice:

• Systemic Action: The triazine-based formulation effectively halts the photosynthetic processes in target weeds at the early stages.
• Irish Reliability: Sparta Research Ltd. maintains high production standards, ensuring the concentrate stays stable in the spray tank without clogging nozzles.
• Ease of Handling: Classified as Class 3 hazard, it is manageable for professional teams while following standard safety protocols.

The moisture activates the herbicide screen, allowing you to forget about the first wave of weeds until the crop rows close up. It’s a reliable, one-pass solution that keeps the focus where it should be—on crop development.
