INTRODUCTION: Atrazine is a chlorinated herbicide of the triazine class. It is used to prevent pre-emergence broadleaf weeds in crops such as maize (corn), soybean and sugarcane and on turf, such as golf courses and residential lawns. Biocide, Pesticide, Herbicide. The principle mode of action of triazine herbicides is the inhibition of photosynthesis. The triazines were shown to inhibit PSII but have no effect on PSI (Trebst, 2008) Metolachlor is a selective chloroacetamide herbicide used to control annual grasses (eg Echinacloa spp., Digitaria spp., Setaria spp., Brachiaria spp., Panicum spp. and Cyperus spp.) and certain key broad-leaved weeds (eg Amaranthus spp., Capsella spp. and Portulaca spp.) in maize, sorghum, cotton, sugar beet, fodder beet, sugar cane, potatoes, soyabeans, peanuts, sunflowers, various vegetables and pulse crops, fruit and nut trees, and woody ornamentals.

Mode of Action: Metolachlor is a selective herbicide which is absorbed predominantly by the target weeds hypocotyls and shoots. It inhibits germination

USAGES: Atrazine is a herbicide that is used to stop pre- and post-emergence broadleaf and grassy weeds in crops such as sorghum, maize, sugarcane, lupins, pine, and eucalypt plantations, and triazine-tolerant canola. In the United States as of 2014, atrazine was the second-most widely used herbicide after glyphosate, with 76 million pounds (34 thousand metric tons) of it applied each year. Atrazine continues to be one of the most widely used herbicides in Australian agriculture Metolachlor is a herbicide used to control annual grasses (eg Echinacloa spp., Digitaria spp., Setaria spp., Brachiaria spp., Panicum spp. and Cyperus spp.) and certain key broad-leaved weeds (eg Amaranthus spp., Capsella spp. and Portulaca spp.) in maize, sorghum, cotton, sugar beet, fodder beet, sugar cane, potatoes, soyabeans, peanuts, sunflowers, various vegetables and pulse crops, fruit and nut trees, and woody ornamentals.
