Key Features & Benefits

Effective Weed Control

Metryne Pro ( Metsulfuron Methyl 10% + Chlorimuron Ethyl 10% WP ) provides effective control of major sedges, broadleaf weeds, and aquatic weeds commonly found in transplanted rice fields.

Systemic Action

The herbicide is absorbed by target weeds and translocated within the plant, helping to suppress weed growth and development.

Low-Dose Application

Only 8 grams per acre is required, making application convenient and economical.

Cleaner Rice Fields

By reducing weed competition during the early crop growth stage, Metryne Pro ( Metsulfuron Methyl 10% + Chlorimuron Ethyl 10% WP ) helps maintain healthier crop establishment and better field management.

Easy-to-Use WP Formulation

The wettable powder formulation disperses easily in water and can be applied using standard spray equipment.

Mode of Action

Metryne Pro ( Metsulfuron Methyl 10% + Chlorimuron Ethyl 10% WP ) works by inhibiting the Acetolactate Synthase (ALS) enzyme in susceptible weeds. This enzyme is essential for the production of certain amino acids required for plant growth. Once absorbed by the weeds, the herbicide disrupts cell division and growth processes, eventually leading to weed suppression and control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is Metryne Pro herbicide used for?
Metryne Pro (Metsulfuron M 10% + Chlorimuron 10% WP) is a selective post-emergence herbicide used for broad-spectrum control of broadleaf weeds, sedges, and aquatic weeds in Paddy (transplanted and direct-seeded) crop.
Q: What is the technical name of Metryne Pro?
The technical name of Metryne Pro is Metsulfuron Methyl 10% + Chlorimuron Ethyl 10% w/w WP (Wettable Powder). It is manufactured and marketed by Maxxgro under the brand name Metryne Pro.
Q: What is the dosage of Metryne Pro per acre?
The recommended dose of Metryne Pro is 8 grams per acre (20 g per hectare), mixed in 150–200 litres of water with 0.2% non-ionic surfactant for foliar spray application.
Q: When should Metryne Pro be applied in paddy?
In transplanted paddy, Metryne Pro should be applied 20–25 days after transplanting when weeds are at the 2–3 leaf stage. In direct-seeded paddy, apply 20–25 days after sowing. Apply as a foliar spray with a non-ionic surfactant.
Q: Which weeds does Metryne Pro control in rice?
Metryne Pro controls a wide spectrum of weeds in paddy including sedges (Cyperus iria, Cyperus difformis, Fimbristylis miliacea), aquatic broadleafs (Monochoria vaginalis, Marsilea quadrifolia), and other broadleaf species (Eclipta alba, Ludwigia parviflora, Cyanotis axillaris, Sphenoclea zeylanica, and Ammannia baccifera).
Q: Is Metryne Pro safe for the paddy crop?
Yes. Metryne Pro is selective — it controls weeds while being safe for paddy crop at the recommended dose of 8 g per acre. Rice plants metabolise the herbicide’s active ingredients before they can cause crop injury.
Q: What is the mode of action of Metsulfuron Methyl and Chlorimuron Ethyl?
Both active ingredients in Metryne Pro are ALS (acetolactate synthase) enzyme inhibitors, classified under HRAC Group B. They block the biosynthesis of the essential amino acids valine and isoleucine in weed plants, stopping cell division and plant growth in shoots and roots. Weed death occurs within 2–4 weeks of application.
Q: Can Metryne Pro be used in wheat?
Yes. Metryne Pro is recommended for use in wheat at 30–35 days after sowing to control broadleaf weeds like Chenopodium album, Convolvulus arvensis, and Polygonum species at the tillering stage of the crop.
