How It Works: Mode of Action
Atrazine stops susceptible weeds from using sunlight normally to
make food.
-
Early treatment: The product is applied before weed emergence in the specified crop.
-
Food production is disrupted: Atrazine blocks part of photosynthesis, the process plants use to turn light into food.
-
Growth is checked: Susceptible weeds cannot continue normal growth when this process is disrupted.

Application Requirements
Timing, Equipment & Field Conditions
Apply once before weed emergence, within three days of sowing or
planting. Use high-volume equipment with a flat-fan or flood-jet nozzle, not ultra-low-volume equipment.
-
Suitable conditions: Spray in the morning or evening. Avoid rainy, windy or hot sunny conditions.
-
Water protection: Do not apply near aquaculture. Take particular care where groundwater is high.
-
Re-entry: Keep people out of treated areas for 24 hours after application, or longer if the supplied label requires it.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Confirm the crop and field: Identify the crop and target weeds and check local use requirements before application.
-
Keep the early timing: Plan the pre-emergence treatment within the three-day window; do not substitute a later post-emergence
treatment.
-
Calibrate the equipment: Use the crop-specific product and water quantities from the supplied label for the same measured field
area. Do not infer a tank concentration.
-
Prevent drift and runoff: Keep spray away from neighbouring crops, non-target plants, aquaculture and water bodies.
-
Keep mixtures specific: Do not assume tank-mix compatibility. Follow the supplied label for any mixture, equipment cleaning and
disposal.
