Metribuzin Ban Raises Concerns for European Farmers
Farmers across Europe face a significant challenge as the European Commission moves to ban the commonly used herbicide metribuzin. This decision, while driven by the European Food Safety Authority’s concerns over potential endocrine disrupting effects on humans, has ignited concerns among farmers who rely on metribuzin as a crucial tool in controlling weeds across various crops.
The ban is effective from November 24, 2025, leaving agricultural communities scrambling to find viable alternatives and adjust their crop management strategies. Medritubulet has long been a favorite among farmers due to its effectiveness and ease of use. Its application allowed farmers to control weeds in a variety of crops.
