Experimental formulations of herbicide metribuzin embedded in matrices of degradable natural polymer poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (P3HB) and its composites with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL), and wood powder have been prepared in the form of pressed pellets containing 75% polymeric basis (pure P3HB or its composite with a second component at a ratio of 7:3) and 25% metribuzin. Incubation of formulations in soil laboratory systems led to the degradation of the matrix and herbicide release. The most active release of metribuzin (about 60% of the embedded herbicide over 35 days) was detected for the P3HB/PEG carrier compared to the P3HB, P3HB/wood, and P3HB/PCL forms (30–40%). Thus, the study shows that herbicide release can be controlled by the matrix formulation. Metribuzin formulations exerted a significant herbicidal effect on the plant Agrostis stolonifera, used as a weed plant model. Application of these long-term formulations will make it possible to reduce environmental release of chemicals, which will restrict the rate of their accumulation in trophic chains of ecosystems and abate their adverse effects on the biosphere.
