Metribuzin is a selective herbicide used to control a broad spectrum of weeds, including both broadleaf and grassy species. It is commonly applied in crops such as soybeans, potatoes, tomatoes, and cereals.
Metribuzin primarily works by inhibiting photosynthesis and affecting the metabolic processes of plants, thereby controlling weed growth. The specific mechanisms include:
- Inhibition of Photosynthesis:
- Metribuzin mainly acts on the photosynthetic process by disrupting the electron transport chain within chloroplasts, reducing the plant’s ability to photosynthesize effectively. It prevents the synthesis of photosynthetic pigments, which negatively impacts plant growth and development.
- Impact on Metabolic Processes:
- This herbicide also affects the metabolic processes of plants, inhibiting certain biochemical reactions, further obstructing weed growth.
- Selective Action:
- Metribuzin exhibits selective action against some broadleaf weeds and certain grasses, allowing it to effectively control target weeds while having minimal impact on some crops.

Metribuzin Mechanism of Action
- Photosynthesis Inhibition:
- Metribuzin acts primarily by inhibiting photosynthesis. It targets the photosystem II (PSII) complex in the chloroplasts of susceptible plants.
- By binding to the D1 protein in the PSII complex, metribuzin blocks the electron transport chain. This interruption halts the conversion of light energy into chemical energy, crucial for the plant’s growth and survival.
- Disruption of Energy Production:
- With the photosynthetic process disrupted, the plant cells cannot produce the necessary ATP and NADPH, leading to energy starvation.
- This results in the cessation of growth and eventual death of the weed.
- Selective Activity:
- Metribuzin is selective, meaning it primarily affects the targeted weeds while being relatively safe for certain crops when used at recommended rates.
- The selectivity is attributed to differences in absorption, translocation, and metabolism between crops and weeds.
- Uptake and Translocation:
- Metribuzin is absorbed through both roots and foliage, allowing for flexible application methods, including pre-emergence and post-emergence.
- Once absorbed, it is translocated throughout the plant, concentrating in the leaf tissues where photosynthesis occurs.
