It is absorbed by the young shoots of plants, the coleoptile is mainly absorbed by monocotyledonous plants, and the hypocotyl is absorbed by dicotyledonous plants. The main mechanism of action is to inhibit protease activity and destroy protein synthesis. The acute oral LD50 of the original drug in rats is 2780 mg/kg, and the acute percutaneous LD50 of rats is >3170 mg/kg; it is slightly irritating to the skin of rabbits, but not irritating to the eyes.

The molecular structure of metolachlor contains an asymmetric carbon atom, and it has optical isomers. The common name is refined metolachlor, and the trade name is DualGold. The activity of 65% pure metolachlor was equivalent to that of 100% metolachlor by increasing the concentration of the highly active isomer.

Applications of  Metolachlor  

Selective pre-emergence herbicide. Grass weeds absorb the drug through young shoots and young roots, inhibit protein synthesis and kill. Applicable to crops such as corn, soybean, rape, cotton, sorghum, vegetables, etc., to control crabgrass, barnyardgrass, goosegrass, foxtail, stephenia, teff and other annual gramineous weeds, and the control effect on broad-leaved grass is poor. If broad-leaved grass and grass weeds are mixed, the two agents can be mixed and used. To control weeds in soybean and corn fields, use 72% emulsifiable oil, 15-23mL/100m2, to spray the soil surface with water after sowing and before emergence.

This product is a pre-emergence herbicide, mainly used to control grass weeds. The product is a 2-chloride acetylaniline herbicide, which is a cell division inhibitor. It can be used in soil treatment to control barnyardgrass, heterosedge, cattle felt, bermudagrass, Alisma narrowleaf, etc. It is usually used 3-5 days before transplanting. This product has poor selectivity to wet-inserted rice when it is applied alone, but it has excellent selectivity to in-line rice when it is used together with chlorpyrifos. For example, if the product is used in a mixture of 600+200 gai/ha, the effect of this product on sedge, heteromorphous sedge, pointed petal flower, and fluttering grass is more than 90%, and the control effect on D. chinensis is 100%. . It is suitable for upland crops such as corn, soybean, peanut, cotton and sorghum.

How to use Metolachlor

From cotton sowing to before emergence, use 100-200 ml of 72% emulsifiable concentrate per mu in the south, 100-300 ml in the north, and 30-50 kg of water, and spray evenly on the surface.

Soil clay and organic matter can adsorb metolachlor, so the dosage should be determined according to soil quality and soil organic matter content. The organic matter content is less than 3%, 100 ml per mu of sandy soil, 140 ml of loamy soil, and 180 ml of clay; the organic matter content is above 3%, 140 ml per mu of sandy soil, 180 ml of loamy soil, and 230 ml of clay.

Metolachlor: The duration of effect is 30-35 days, and the activity will disappear naturally 10-12 weeks after application. Monocotyledonous grass weeds are mainly absorbed through the coleoptile, dicotyledonous weeds are absorbed through young shoots and young roots, conduct upward, inhibit the growth of young shoots and fine roots, sensitive weeds will be poisoned and die after germination, before emergence or just after emergence . Grass weeds are more absorbent than broadleaf. It is advisable to apply the pesticide 3 to 5 days before transplanting, and apply it before emergence 1 to 2 days after sowing in the field. The medicine is easily degraded by soil microorganisms and has a medium duration.
