Frequently Asked Questions
Barrier is a broad-spectrum, selective herbicide used to control weeds both pre and post emergence. It effectively controls deeply rooted annual grasses and broad-leaved weeds.
Barrier herbicide contains Metribuzin 70 % WP that acts through systemic and contact action within a short time. It leaves no residual effect of succeeding crops.
Dhanuka Barrier herbicide can be used for sugarcane, wheat, tomato, potato, and soybean for controlling stubborn weeds. It achieves control over weeds at a lower dose.
The active ingredient in Barrier Dhanuka Herbicide gets absorbed by the roots and leaves of weeds and translocates to actively growing parts. It kills weeds by disrupting photosynthetic activities.
Barrier herbicide can be used at a dosage range of:
• 0.5-2 g/litre
• 100-400 g in 200 litres of water per acre
• 7.5-30 g/15 litre pump.
Refer to the label instructions for crop specific dosages.
Yes, Barrier (Metribuzin 70 % WP) can be harmful to beneficial insects if applied incorrectly. Since it is broad-spectrum herbicide, it will affect pollinators, predators, and other aquatic organisms as well. To reduce the risk of harming beneficial insects, it is advisable to spray during early morning or late afternoon.
Choose a non-windy or no-rain day to apply Dhanuka Barrier to avoid drifting and washing away. Cooler hours of the day, like early morning or late afternoon, are ideal for spraying. It is advised to spray Barrier on emerging and actively growing weeds. Pre-emergent application should be done 3-4 days after planting.
Barrier can be mixed with other compatible herbicides. This helps in controlling a wider range of weeds. But it is recommended to seek expert advice or follow label claims.
