IIL Atrazine 50% WP Pre-Emergence Herbicide
HerbicidesIIL Atrazine 50% WP – Verified Product Information
IIL Atrazine 50% WP is a selective herbicide for pre-emergence weed control in the registered crops maize and sugarcane. The label application window is narrow: one spray within three days after sowing or planting. Correct field measurement, crop-specific rate, water volume and even placement are therefore more important than the size of the pack.
Atrazine is a triazine herbicide that inhibits photosystem II in susceptible weeds. It is placed in HRAC/WSSA Group 5 (legacy HRAC C1). The mode-of-action code helps users avoid repeated reliance on one chemistry, but it does not authorize use in an unlisted crop such as sorghum.

Useful detailsHow the Herbicide Fits the Crop Programme
The product is placed soon after planting, before the listed weeds become established. Germinating susceptible weeds take up Atrazine from the treated zone. Photosystem II inhibition then prevents normal energy production and growth. A uniform application can reduce early weed pressure, but skips, overlaps, unsuitable moisture or late spraying may reduce control or crop selectivity.
The label specifies only one application. If weeds escape, identify the species and reason for escape instead of automatically repeating Atrazine or increasing the dose.
Useful detailsRegistered Crop and Weed Table
| Crop | Label weeds | Dose/ha | Water/ha | Timing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maize | Trianthema monogyna, Digera arvensis, Echinochloa spp., Eleusine spp., Xanthium strumarium, Brachiaria spp., Amaranthus viridis, Cleome viscosa, Digitaria spp. and Polygonum spp. | 1.0–2.0 kg formulation | 500–700 L | Within 3 days after sowing/planting; once |

The label states a 24-hour re-entry period and does not list a numerical pre-harvest interval in this table. The purchased pack label remains the final authority.
How to applyPractical Application Checklist
- Verify maize or sugarcane, the target weed spectrum and the treated hectare area.
- Calculate the formulation quantity from the crop-specific label rate; a 500 g pack is not automatically an acre dose.
- Wear label-specified PPE and prevent dust inhalation while measuring.
- Dilute in clean water according to the leaflet and use the full 500–700 L/ha spray volume.
- Use calibrated high-volume equipment with a flat-fan or flood-jet nozzle, as described on the label.
- Avoid rainy, windy or hot sunny weather, drift, runoff and use near aquaculture.
- Keep people and animals away for at least 24 hours after application.
Useful detailsStewardship and Resistance Management
Repeated Group 5 use can favour resistant weed populations. Combine chemical control with clean seed, crop rotation, timely cultivation where suitable, field scouting and prevention of weed seed return. A different-mode product may be considered only when it is independently labelled for the crop, weed and application stage. The Related and Upsell items shown by Mana Agri Mart are alternatives for comparison—not tank-mix recipes.
Use with caution where groundwater is high. Never apply to another crop based on a general web claim, and do not repeat or raise the dose to compensate for missed timing.
Use with careSafety and Disclaimer
Avoid inhalation and skin or eye contact. Store locked in the original container away from children, food, feed, heat and flame. Never reuse the empty pack; dispose of it as directed by the label and applicable rules.
Use only as directed on the current product label. Mana Agri Mart does not recommend off-label crops, weeds, rates, timings, mixtures or guaranteed performance claims.
