ATRAHIT HERBICIDE

Technical Content: Atrazine 50% WP

It is photosynthetic electron transport inhibitor at the photosystem II receptor site. Maize tolerance is attributed to rapid detoxification by glutathione transferases.

Mode of action:

Selective systemic herbicide, absorbed principally through the roots but also through the foliage, with translocation acropetally in the xylem and accumulation in the apical meristems and leaves.

Applications:

• A selective systemic pre and post emergence herbicide.
• It is use to control annual grass as well as broad leave weeds.
• It is absorbed principally through the roots & foliage.
• It inhibits photosynthesis and interferes with other enzymatic activities.
• It is used in combination with other herbicides.
