Per Requester: Very Good Fit; There is a growing need to investigate the potential of metamitron herbicide for use in carrot production, particularly in light of increasing pigweed resistance to linuron, a key herbicide currently used in the crop. Metamitron shares structural similarities with metribuzin, which is labeled for postemergence use in carrots after the crop has developed 5 to 6 true leaves. Further research is warranted to evaluate crop safety, application timing, and efficacy against problematic weed species:06/25;
|
| Reasons for need: |
Pigweeds, lambsquarters, other weeds. Pigweeds in NYS and other locations have confirmed resistance to linuron, a key herbicide. Herbicides for use in carrots are limited:06/25; NJ: Limited herbicide options for effective residual weed control in carrots grown in the Northeast region, with increasing presence of challenging herbicide resistance weed species (pigweed, ragweed):09/25;

| Requesting State(s): |
NJ:Besancon, T ; NY:Sosnoskie, L* ;
|
| PCR Use Pattern: |
Make 3 broadcast applications of metamitron at 1.03 lb ai/a. The first shall be made preemergence (PRE) after seeding but prior to crop emergence, while the second and third shall be 7-10 days apart, beginning when weeds are in cotyledon stage. Alternatively, the PRE application may be 1.25 lb ai/a followed by postemergence applications of 0.94 lb ai/a. A total postemergence program is also allowed; three applications at 1.03 lb ai/a, 7-10 days apart, beginning when weeds are cotyledon stage. Registrant advice is needed on appropriate adjuvant(s) for postemergence applications.
