Atrazine is a thiotriazine selective systemic herbicide absorbed principally through the roots, but also through the foliage, translocated acropetally in the xylem and accumulated in the apical meristems and leaves.
Site of action
Atrazine binds to the plastoquinone-binding protein in photosystem II, inhibiting electron transport.
Timing
Pre-plant incorporated, Pre and post Pre-emergence.
