Metrabin 60WG is a high‑strength fungicide formulation combining Metiram (55%) and Pyraclostrobin (5%) in water‑dispersible granules (WG).
It is designed for effective, systemic disease control in major Pakistani crops. Important to note: Several sources mistakenly describe it as an herbicide; however, both active ingredients indicate a fungicide combining broad‑spectrum systemic action (Metiram) and modern strobilurin (Pyraclostrobin).
Key Features
Combination Mode: Metiram offers both contact and systemic protection, while Pyraclostrobin ensures long‑lasting preventive action with growth enhancement benefits.
Water‑Dispersible Granules (WG): Dust‑free, easy to handle and mix in water.
Systemic + Protective Effect: Provides dual-action by inhibiting fungal respiration and preventing spore germination.
Resistance Management: Using two modes of action helps delay fungus resistance development.
Versatile Application: Suitable for multiple crops and disease pressures.
Uses & Application
Recommended primarily as a fungicide, Metrabin 60WG controls common foliar diseases such as:
Early blight, late blight in potato
Anthracnose in tomato and mango
Powdery mildew, rust, and leaf spots in various vegetable and fruit crops
Dosage & Mixing:
General application: 3 g per liter of water (adjustable by crop and severity).
Use 100 – 150 litres of spray mix per acre with flat‑fan or flood‑jet nozzles.
Best applied at early stages of disease or before onset, with follow‑up sprays if moisture conditions persist.
Benefits to Growers
Improved Yield & Quality: By controlling diseases early, crops develop healthier foliage and stronger fruit sets.
Cost‑Effective: Long residual action reduces need for repeated treatments and manual removal.
Labor Savings: Reduces manual weeding and mechanical interventions (in light of herbicide mislabel mix-up reported; focus is disease control).
Environmental Safety: WG formulation lowers dust inhalation risks and targeted dose usage aids soil safety.
Resistance Mitigation: Dual‑mode chemistry slows pathogen adaptation to treatment.
Safety & Storage Instructions
Store in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight.
Keep out of reach of children, livestock, and pollinators.
Use protective gear (gloves, mask, protective clothing) during mixing and spraying.
Clean all spray equipment thoroughly after use.
Avoid application on very sandy soils or immediately before heavy rain.
