Contains Atrazine 50% as the active ingredient; Formulated as a Wettable Powder (WP); Herbicide category product for weed management; Registered use in maize and sugarcane; Controls a broad spectrum of grassy and broad-leaved weeds; Root-absorbed, systemic mode of action
Atrazine is a triazine-group herbicide that acts as a photosynthesis inhibitor. It is absorbed mainly through the roots of germinating weeds and translocated upward to the leaves, where it binds to the D1 protein of Photosystem II, blocking electron transport in the photosynthetic pathway. This disrupts the plant’s ability to produce energy, leading to chlorosis and death of susceptible weeds. Atrazine falls under HRAC/WSSA Group 5 (Photosystem II inhibitors).
Atra Shield (Atrazine 50% WP) is applied as a spray after dilution in the recommended volume of water, using standard knapsack or boom sprayers, ensuring uniform coverage of the soil surface and emerging weeds in the target crop. Application should follow the timing, crop stage and weed-stage recommendations specified on the approved product label.
Use strictly as per the directions on the approved product label Wear appropriate personal protective equipment during mixing and spraying Avoid spray drift onto sensitive or non-target crops Keep out of reach of children and away from food, feed, and water sources Store in a cool, dry place in original packaging
