ADAMA Emek Wheat Herbicide Overview
ADAMA Emek contains Clodinafop-Propargyl 9% + Metribuzin 20% WP. It is a selective post-emergence wheat herbicide that combines grass control with activity on the specified broadleaf weed complex, including resistant Phalaris minor populations described by the manufacturer.

How Emek Works
Clodinafop-propargyl inhibits ACCase in susceptible grass weeds, stopping new leaf and root growth. Metribuzin inhibits photosystem II in susceptible broadleaf and grass weeds. Growth stops after treatment and visible weed death develops over the following two to three weeks.
