Atranex - Atrazine 50% WP - ADAMA

ADAMA Atranex Atrazine 50% WP – Product Overview

ADAMA Atranex is a wettable-powder herbicide containing Atrazine 50% WP. ADAMA India lists maize and sugarcane and describes Atranex for selective pre- and post-emergence use. The correct crop, weed spectrum, dose, timing, water volume, application frequency and waiting period must be taken from the current Atranex pack label.

Atrazine belongs to the triazine family and is classified as HRAC/WSSA Group 5. This classification supports resistance planning; it does not establish crop safety, dose equivalence or compatibility with another herbicide.

Verified Product Facts

How Atrazine Works

Atrazine inhibits photosystem II electron transport in susceptible weeds, limiting the photosynthetic process needed for growth. Uptake and performance depend on the labelled use pattern, weed species, growth stage, soil and moisture conditions, application quality and weather. A Group 5 classification must never be treated as proof that Atranex is suitable for an unlisted crop or a missed application window.

Crop and Weed Guidance

No universal acre, pump or per-litre dose is stated here. Do not transfer directions from another Atrazine brand to Atranex.

Application Planning

• Read the pack first: confirm the crop, target weeds, crop stage, dose, water volume and permitted application window.
• Measure accurately: do not assume that one retail pack equals one acre.
• Calibrate equipment: use the nozzle and spray volume specified on the current label and avoid overlaps, drift and missed strips.
• Do not assume a tank mix: recommendation cards are standalone alternatives, never automatic compatibility advice.
• Protect non-target areas: prevent spray, runoff and equipment wash water from reaching neighbouring crops, people, livestock or water bodies.
• Follow label restrictions: re-entry, harvest, storage, disposal and first-aid directions on the supplied pack take precedence.

Resistance Stewardship

Repeated reliance on one Group 5 herbicide can select resistant weeds. Record survivors, prevent seed production and combine label-approved chemical choices with suitable crop rotation, cultivation, competitive crop stands and field hygiene. If a separate treatment is needed, select it by crop, target weeds, timing and a different effective HRAC group where practical. Do not apply products together merely because they are shown as recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions
