How This Mix Works

Fast Burndown with Paraquat

Paraquat is a contact herbicide that provides quick control of emerged weeds. It works best on small, actively growing weeds and has no residual activity.

Residual Control with Metribuzin

Metribuzin offers pre-emergent and early post-emergent control, helping prevent new weed emergence. It is particularly effective against winter annual broadleaf weeds and some grasses.

Adjuvants for Improved Performance

Methylated Seed Oil (MSO) enhances herbicide absorption, improving overall effectiveness.

Weed Spectrum & Expected Results

Effectively control:
- Winter annual broadleaf weeds (e.g., shepherd’s purse, mustard species.

- Deep-rooted perennials like dandelions (additional treatments may be needed)

Final Thoughts

This herbicide mix is an excellent option for controlling winter weeds in dormant alfalfa. It provides both quick burndown and extended residual control, helping ensure a clean field going into the growing season.

However, be mindful of crop injury risks if applied too late or on sensitive soils. Always follow label recommendations and check local regulations before use.

For custom weed management solutions, consult your local agronomist or extension service.
