Supermet Extra (SUPERMET XTRA, WG)

Professional weed management with Supermet Xtra

In the landscape of modern cereal production, protecting winter wheat and barley from broadleaf weeds is a critical task. Supermet Xtra (SUPERMET XTRA, WG) utilizes metsulfuron-methyl to deliver highly selective systemic control. It is specifically designed to eliminate stubborn competitors such as field thistle (Cirsium arvense), cleavers (Galium aparine), and white goosefoot (Chenopodium album) without compromising crop health.

Technical efficiency and formulation

As a water-dispersible granule (WG) formulation, Supermet Xtra is designed for easy mixing and stable performance in spray tanks. It acts as a post-emergence herbicide that is absorbed by both foliage and root systems, providing a robust solution for fields where selective, systemic action is required.

• Precise Application: With a low application rate of 0.007–0.01 kg/ha, the product offers significant cost efficiency for large-scale operations.
• Systemic Mechanism: Once applied, the active ingredient translocates through the plant, effectively inhibiting essential metabolic processes in targeted weeds.
• Manufacturing Excellence: The product is manufactured by a consortium of established facilities including Nanjing Red Sun Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Golden Chemical Co., Ltd., and others, under the oversight of Shandong Weifang Rainbow.

Supermet Xtra is authorized for a single application per season. By applying it during the post-emergence window when weeds are actively growing, farmers can secure a clean field environment, ensuring the crop reaches its full yield potential by removing resource competition at the earliest stages.
