Atrazine – General Overview



Atrazine (2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-6-(isopropylamino)‑1,3,5‑triazine) is a widely used herbicide that suppresses the growth of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in crops such as corn, sugarcane, sorghum, and some horticultural commodities. Its mode of action involves inhibition of photosynthetic electron transport (specifically blocking plastoquinone reduction), thereby preventing photosynthesis in susceptible weed species while leaving most crop plants largely unaffected due to their lower sensitivity or different growth stage at application.
