ATRAHIT is a selective herbicide manufactured by HPM India. It contains Atrazine 50% WP (Wettable Powder) as its active ingredient. This herbicide is widely used for pre- and post-emergence control of broadleaf weeds and some grasses in crops like maize (corn) and sugarcane.
Key features and benefits:
Broad-spectrum weed control: ATRAHIT effectively controls a wide range of annual broadleaf weeds and some grasses in maize and sugarcane.
Selective action: It targets weeds while being safe for maize and sugarcane crops when used as directed.
Pre- and post-emergence application: ATRAHIT can be applied before weed emergence or shortly after they emerge.
Systemic action: It is absorbed by the weeds through their roots and foliage and translocated throughout their system, effectively inhibiting their growth.
Long residual activity: It provides extended weed control, reducing the need for multiple applications.
Cost-effective: ATRAHIT offers efficient weed control at an economical price.
Mode of action:
Atrazine inhibits photosynthesis in susceptible plants by binding to the plastoquinone-binding protein in photosystem II. This disruption of photosynthesis prevents the production of energy and essential compounds, leading to the death of the weed.
Recommended crops:
ATRAHIT is primarily recommended for use in:
Maize (Corn)
Sugarcane
Application:
ATRAHIT is a wettable powder (WP) formulation. It should be diluted with water according to the recommended dosage and applied as a pre- or post-emergence herbicide.
Pre-emergence: Apply immediately after planting the crop but before weed emergence.
