Thakar Gadar Metribuzin 70% WP is a selective, systemic herbicide trusted by progressive farmers for effective weed control in wheat, potato, soybean, tomato, and sugarcane. It works both as a pre-emergent and early post-emergent herbicide, giving broad-spectrum control of narrow-leaf and broadleaf weeds.
The active ingredient, Metribuzin 70% WP, is absorbed mainly through roots and partly through leaves. Once inside the plant, it moves upward in the xylem and inhibits photosynthesis, leading to weed death. It is particularly effective against Phalaris minor, which has developed resistance to many other herbicides.
Gadar is economical due to its low-dose requirement and broad activity, while being safe for rotational crops as it leaves no harmful residues. Farmers across India prefer it for its consistent results in diverse soils and climatic conditions.
