General Info

HOW IT WORKS

Metribuzin inhibits the photosynthesis of grassy and broadleaf weeds. Used pre-emergent, susceptible weeds and crop seedlings emerge through treated soil, but 2 – 5 days later the weeds show chlorosis and necrosis. Plants treated post-emergence show chlorosis and necrosis between leaf veins, followed by wilting and death.

SOIL TYPES AND RESTRICTIONS

The recommended use rates of SQUADRON®  are dependent upon soil texture and the organic matter content of the soil being treated: coarse, medium and fine. The following chart outlines the soil textures included in each of the soil texture groupings:

Coarse Medium Fine
Loamy sand, Sandy loam Loam, Silt loam, Silt, Sandy clay loam, Sandy clay Silty clay loam, Silty clay, Clay loam, Clay
  • On variable soils with coarse sandy areas, some crop injury may occur on the sandy areas if the rate used is for the finer soil type.
  • Sandy loam and silty clay loam soils are transitional soils and may be classified as medium-textured soils in some regions.
  • Do not use this product on muck soils. If SQUADRON®  is applied to muck soils, subsequent crops may be injured.
  • Do not use on coarse soils with less than 2% organic matter.

CROP ROTATIONS

Rotational crops such as non-triazine-tolerant canola (rapeseed) are sensitive to SQUADRON® and may be injured if seeded in soil treated with SQUADRON®  during the year of application or the following crop year. Fall seeded or cover crops such as wheat, oats and rye may be injured when seeded within the same season as the application of SQUADRON®.

Always read and follow label directions.
