How It Works: Mode of Action
Atrazine is a systemic triazine herbicide in HRAC/WSSA Group 5. Its action is on photosynthesis in susceptible weeds, not on insects or crop diseases.
-
Uptake and movement: Atrazine enters susceptible plants through roots and foliage and is transported within the plant.
-
Photosynthesis inhibition: It blocks electron transport at photosystem II, disrupting the photosynthetic processes that support weed growth.
-
Selectivity has limits: Use only for the crop and weed combinations on the supplied Atraz label. The same active ingredient in another product does not make its crop or application directions interchangeable.

Dosage & Application Guide
Obtain the complete current Atraz directions for your crop before preparing a spray. Keep product dose, water, method, timing and harvest restrictions together; do not substitute another atrazine product’s directions.
Dose, Water & Pre-Harvest Planning
| Planning Point |
What to Follow |
|---|---|
| Product and water |
Use the current supplied Atraz label to select the product quantity and matching water volume for the measured area, crop and weeds. Do not calculate a universal per-litre or pump recipe. |
| Application stage |
Follow the crop-specific stage and method on the supplied pack. Ask AgroStar or a qualified local agricultural adviser to resolve any unclear directions before spraying. |
| Harvest and entry |
Confirm the applicable pre-harvest interval before treatment. Worker-entry, further applications and following-crop restrictions are separate; follow each requirement. |
A pre-harvest interval is the time between the final application and harvest. An unstated interval does not mean that immediate harvest is permitted. If the supplied directions are unclear, obtain clarification before treatment.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Confirm before mixing: Read the current pack and leaflet together. Have the crop-specific dose, water, method, timing and harvest interval settled before treatment; do not spray if any direction remains unclear.
-
Identify the crop and weeds: Use only on the crops and weeds specified on the Atraz label. Do not extend maize directions to pearl millet or other crops.
-
Match the equipment: The leaflet specifies knapsack-type equipment with a flat-fan or flood-jet nozzle. Calibrate for the labelled treatment area and spray volume; avoid uneven coverage.
-
Use the correct formulation: Measure the wettable powder by weight and follow the pack mixing directions. Do not borrow liquid-formulation rates, or use hands to stir the mixture.
-
Keep tank mixes restricted: Do not mix with any fungicide or insecticide. Other tank partners are not automatically permitted; follow the exact supplied label and manufacturer advice.
-
Protect water and neighbouring areas: Do not use near water bodies, aquaculture or pisciculture. Observe the leaflet caution in areas with a high groundwater level, and prevent drift, runoff and equipment washings from reaching water.
-
Avoid an automatic repeat schedule: Further treatment must follow the current label, not a fixed calendar or pack-coverage assumption. Keep unprotected people and animals away and observe the applicable worker-entry requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
The AgroStar leaflet lists maize and sugarcane with the crop-specific weeds shown above. It is not a general recommendation for every crop, broadleaf weed or grass.
No. Pack size is the sale quantity. Select the labelled dose and water for the measured area and exact crop; do not empty a pack into a pump or assume fixed coverage.
No. Match the treatment stage to the current supplied Atraz directions for your crop. Resolve unclear timing with AgroStar or a qualified agricultural adviser before treatment.
Establish the applicable crop harvest interval before spraying. Harvest timing is separate from worker entry, any further applications and restrictions on the next crop. Never treat an unstated interval as zero.
No. AgroStar states not to mix Atraz with any fungicide or insecticide. This warning does not approve other mixtures; use only combinations expressly allowed for the supplied product.
