Parizine - Atrazine 50% WP - Parijat
Parizine Herbicide by Parijat
Atrazine 50% WP for listed annual grass and broadleaf weeds in maize and sugarcane.
Crop and weed fit: Separate grass and broadleaf-weed lists for maize and
sugarcane.
Application window: Pre-emergence or post-emergence up to the weeds’ 2–3-leaf
stage, within the crop-specific pack directions.
Field safeguards: Sufficient soil moisture, a hood to prevent drift onto the main
crop and no spraying in foggy weather.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🌽 Defined crop uses: For listed weed
problems in maize and sugarcane rather than general vegetation removal.
-
🌱 Grass and broadleaf targets: Each crop has
its own named weed list, preserving the difference between the two uses.
-
🌿 Root and leaf uptake: Atrazine enters
susceptible weeds through roots and foliage and moves upward within the plant.
-
☀️ Photosynthesis inhibition: Acts at
Photosystem II, disrupting the light-driven process that supports normal weed growth.

How It Works: Mode of Action
-
Entry through roots and foliage: Atrazine is absorbed by susceptible weed roots and leaves; adequate soil moisture is an important
treatment condition.
-
Upward movement in the plant: The active ingredient moves upward through the xylem, the plant’s water-conducting tissue, towards
growing areas.
-
Photosystem II is disrupted: Binding at the D1 protein in Photosystem II interrupts electron transport and normal photosynthesis,
leading to control of susceptible weeds.
Systemic movement does not compensate for uneven coverage, unsuitable conditions or an incorrect rate.
Selectivity is not a guarantee against crop injury. Other Group 5 products may share the same biological target.
Target Crops & Weeds
| Crop |
Target weeds |
|---|---|
| Maize |
Trianthema monogyna (horse purslane); Digera arvensis; Echinochloa spp.; Eleusine spp.; Xanthium strumarium; Brachiaria sp.;
Digitaria sp.; Amaranthus viridis; Cleome viscosa; Polygonum spp. |
| Sugarcane |
Digitaria spp.; Boerhavia diffusa; Euphorbia spp.; Tribulus terrestris; Portulaca oleracea |
Keep these weed lists separate. Genus-level entries do not identify one particular species, and a maize target
is not automatically a sugarcane target. Do not add unlisted sedges or other weeds.
Dosage & Application Guide
Pre-Emergence or 2–3-Leaf Weed Window & Hooded Spraying
Use pre-emergence or post-emergence up to the weeds’ 2–3-leaf stage, within the complete crop-specific
directions. The leaf-stage limit refers to the weeds, not the crop. Before measuring, check product quantity with its treated-area
basis, water volume, application method and harvest restrictions together on the supplied pack.
Ensure sufficient soil moisture when spraying, and use a hood to prevent drift onto the main crop. Do not spray
in foggy weather. Premix the measured wettable powder in a little water with a stick or rod, then add that mixture to the remaining
specified water and apply uniformly.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Match the crop and weeds: Choose the maize or sugarcane use after identifying the weeds, without merging their target lists.
-
Follow the application window: Use the permitted pre-emergence treatment or post-emergence treatment up to the weeds’ 2–3-leaf
stage. Follow the crop-specific label rather than extending the window to older weeds.
-
Check soil moisture and weather: Ensure sufficient soil moisture at spraying and avoid foggy weather. Do not invent a
standing-water depth, irrigation amount or watering interval.
-
Premix with a stick or rod: Add the measured product to a small quantity of water, stir well, and add the mixture to the remaining
recommended water. Do not mix with bare hands.
-
Use a hood and even placement: Always use a spray hood to limit drift onto the main crop and apply uniformly. Protect neighbouring
crops and water sources as the label requires.
-
Plan harvest and later treatments: Record the treatment and follow crop-specific harvest, re-entry and further-use restrictions.
Use a mixture only when both current labels permit the proposed combination for the crop and use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does the 2–3-leaf limit refer to the crop or the weeds?
It refers to the weeds. The described window is pre-emergence or post-emergence up to that weed stage,
subject to the complete directions for maize or sugarcane.
2. Are the maize and sugarcane weed lists the same?
No. Maize has a wider named list, while sugarcane lists Digitaria, Boerhavia diffusa, Euphorbia, Tribulus
terrestris and Portulaca oleracea. Keep targets with their own crop row.
3. Why do soil moisture and a spray hood matter?
The treatment calls for sufficient soil moisture and hooded spraying to prevent drift onto the main crop.
Root uptake and systemic movement do not replace those application safeguards.
4. Does selective mean it cannot damage the crop?
No. Selectivity depends on the correct crop, stage, rate and application conditions. It does not make an
excessive rate, unlisted crop or poorly controlled drift safe.
5. Can I use another atrazine brand’s acre or tank rate?
Do not transfer another product’s programme. Use the current Parizine pack’s paired product amount, treated
area, water, timing and restrictions, and calibrate for the actual field area.
Safety & Disclaimer
Before you use it: Read the current Parizine label and leaflet before use, including the full
crop-specific programme, protective equipment, harvest, re-entry, weather, first-aid, storage and disposal
instructions.
Do not mix with bare hands. Wear the stated gloves, apron, mask and other protective equipment. Avoid
contact with the mouth, eyes and skin and inhaling powder, spray mist, fog or vapour. Do not eat, drink, smoke or chew while
handling. Wash thoroughly and bathe after application.
Use a spray hood, maintain sufficient soil moisture and do not spray in foggy weather. Prevent drift and
water contamination. Store in the original labelled container away from water, fire, children, animals, food and feed. Seek
medical help after exposure or illness and take the pack or label; there is no specific antidote, and a clinician should provide
symptomatic treatment.
