Description
Mode of action
Atrazine 50% WP interferes with photosynthesis in some broadleaf plants and grasses. Because it is systemic, it is absorbed by the plant’s roots and leaves and moves upward to areas of new growth. The plant withers and dies. Plants’ older leaves may be more affected than new leaves.
