Agriventure Atraz Herbicide - Atrazine 50% WP

Selective Herbicide for Effective Weed Control in Maize and Sugarcane

Agriventure Atraz (Atrazine 50% WP) is a selective, systemic herbicide formulated for effective control of annual grassy weeds and broadleaf weeds in maize, sugarcane, sorghum and pearl millet. It provides excellent weed management when applied as a pre-emergence or early post-emergence herbicide, ensuring clean crop establishment and improved crop productivity.

Its systemic activity allows rapid absorption through both roots and foliage, while its residual action prevents new weed emergence for several weeks, reducing repeated weeding operations and improving nutrient availability for the crop.

Target Weeds

Mode of Action

Atrazine is absorbed through both roots and foliage and is translocated within susceptible weeds. It inhibits the photosynthetic electron transport process (Photosystem II), preventing energy production required for plant growth.

• Blocks photosynthesis in susceptible weeds.
• Stops enzymatic activity and plant metabolism.
• Causes gradual yellowing, wilting and death of weeds.
• Provides extended residual weed control in the soil.

Application Timing

• Pre-emergence: Apply immediately after sowing before weed germination.
• Early Post-emergence: Apply when weeds are at the 2–3 leaf stage.
• Apply on moist soil for optimum residual performance.

Recommended Dosage

Method of Application

• Prepare the recommended quantity in clean water.
• Mix thoroughly before spraying.
• Spray uniformly using a flat-fan nozzle.
• Ensure complete coverage without overlapping.
• Avoid spraying during strong winds or before heavy rainfall.
