Atrahit Herbicide (Atrazine 50% WP) – Selective Weed Control

Atrahit Herbicide is a selective systemic atrazine herbicide widely used in maize and sugarcane farming. It provides both pre-emergence and post-emergence control of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds. The product works by inhibiting photosynthesis at the photosystem II site, which stops weed growth and ensures cleaner fields for crop establishment.

Atrahit is absorbed through the roots and foliage, then translocated in the plant, accumulating in the leaves and growing tips. This dual action makes it effective against a wide spectrum of weeds. Farmers value its role in reducing manual weeding costs and improving yields. It can also be mixed with other herbicides for integrated weed management.

The atrazine 50 wp dosage varies by crop: 400–800 g per acre for maize and 200–1600 g per acre for sugarcane. According to ICAR 2022, effective pre-emergence weed control can save up to 35% of crop yield losses. For more solutions, explore our Herbicides category.
