Application |
| |
|
Atrazine is a 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.
Used on pre- and post-emergence control of annual broad-leaved
weeds and annual grasses in maize, sorghum, sugar cane, pineapples,
chemical fallow, grassland, macadamia nuts, conifers, industrial
weed control. In Europe, use is increasingly being concentrated
in maize and sorghum.
Used also in combination with many other herbicides.
