PATRIOT® Herbicide EPA Reg. No.: 228-391 Manufacturer: Nufarm Americas Inc. Patriot® Herbicide by Nufarm Americas Inc. (originally registered by Bayer CropScience, EPA Reg. No. 228-391) is a powerful sulfonylurea herbicide designed for selective postemergence control of tough broadleaf weeds and certain woody species across a wide range of agricultural and non-crop use sites. Its active ingredient, metsulfuron-methyl, works systemically to inhibit weed growth by disrupting key amino acid production, delivering long-lasting control even at low use rates. Key Weeds Controlled: - Canada thistle - Dandelion - Kochia - Mustard species - Pigweeds - Russian knapweed - Leafy spurge - Common ragweed Application Timing: For optimal performance, apply Patriot® postemergence to actively growing weeds. Early applications—when weeds are small and actively growing—maximize control and reduce competition with desirable crops or forage. Depending on use site, Patriot® may be tank-mixed with other herbicides for broader-spectrum control. Always consult the label for site-specific timing and rates. Note: Always use according to label directions and local extension recommendations. This ensures effective pest management and supports responsible pesticide stewardship.
