Dhanuka Barrier Herbicide - Metribuzin 70% WP

Selective Herbicide for Broad Spectrum Weed Control in Field Crops

Dhanuka Barrier is a selective herbicide containing Metribuzin 70% WP, a triazinone group herbicide that provides effective control of both grassy and broadleaf weeds. It can be used as both a pre-emergence and early post-emergence herbicide, offering flexibility in weed management across several important crops.

Barrier acts through both roots and leaves of susceptible weeds. It inhibits photosynthesis by blocking the Photosystem II process, stopping weed growth soon after absorption. Its broad-spectrum activity, low application rate and excellent crop selectivity make it a reliable solution for modern farming.

Product Specifications

Recommended Crops

Target Weeds

• Phalaris minor
• Annual grassy weeds
• Broadleaf weeds
• Several susceptible narrow-leaf weeds

Mode of Action

Dhanuka Barrier belongs to the Triazinone group of herbicides. The active ingredient Metribuzin inhibits photosynthesis by blocking Photosystem II. After absorption through roots and leaves, susceptible weeds stop producing energy, resulting in chlorosis, growth inhibition and eventual death.
