• Metribuzin is soluble in methanol, ethanol and glycol ether acetate; soluble in toluene (observed); slightly soluble in water, 1200 ppm
• Metribuzin is registered for control of broadleaf weeds and grasses in soybeans, potatoes, barley, winter wheat, dormant established and sainfoin fields, asparagus, sugarcane, tomatoes, lentils, peas, and non-cropland.
• Metribuzin is a selective triazine herbicide which inhibits photosynthesis of susceptible plant species.
• Metribuzin is available as a 50% formulation intermediate, and 94% technical for formulation into end-use products, wettable powder, flowable concentrate, and dry flowable concentrate.
• Metribuzin may be soil-incorporated, surface applied, or applied foliarly, broadcast or band with ground equipment. It can be applied by aerial equipment or sprinkler irrigation(Potatoes).
• Metribuzin is not acutely toxic by oral, dermal, inhalation, or eye irritation routes of exposure.
• Users are advised not to apply metribuzin where the water table (groundwater) is close to the surface and where the soils are very permeable i.e., well drained soils such as loamy sands.
• Metribuzin and its breakdown products have been frequently detected in Minnesota groundwater beneath areas with coarse-textured soils.
• Metribuzin has not yet been
  thoroughly endocrinologically investigated, and although it is suspected of gererative toxicity and carcinogens that are active in endocrine disturbance, such endocrine disturbance has not been confirmed.
• People may be exposed to residues of metribuzin through the diet.
• Tolerances were reassessed for metribuzin and three of its primary metabolites.
• Goosegrass is one of the most difficult turfgrass weeds to
  control in the tropics and warmer temperate zones.
• Selective POST control of flowering goosegrass has been
  reported following applications of metribuzin plus MSMA.
• Metribuzin can leach through soil and contaminate ground water which may be used for drinking water.
