Naznin – Atrazine 50% WP is a selective, systemic herbicide from the triazine group, formulated as a wettable powder. It is widely used for effective pre- and early post-emergence control of annual broadleaf and grassy weeds in maize, sugarcane, and other crops. With its residual activity, Naznin ensures long-lasting weed suppression and better crop establishment.
Photosynthesis Inhibitor: Blocks photosystem II in chloroplasts, preventing energy transfer and leading to starvation and death of weeds.
Systemic Action: Absorbed through roots and shoots, translocated within the weed for complete control.
Residual Effect: Forms a protective layer in soil, preventing new weed germination.
Broad-spectrum control – Effective on both grassy and broadleaf weeds.
Dual action – Works as pre- and post-emergence herbicide.
Long-lasting protection – Residual effect keeps fields weed-free for weeks.
Crop selectivity – Safe on maize, sugarcane, sorghum when used as recommended.
Better yield – Reduces crop-weed competition, ensuring optimum nutrient and moisture utilization.
Crops: Maize, sugarcane, sorghum.
Dosage: 500–800 g per acre in 200–250 liters of water (depending on weed density and soil type).
Timing:
Pre-emergence: Apply within 2–3 days after sowing.
Early post-emergence: Apply when weeds are in 2–3 leaf stage.
Method of Application: Uniform soil surface spray for pre-emergence; foliar spray for post-emergence.
Precautions:
Do not apply in sandy soils with low organic matter.
Avoid drift to non-target crops.
Rotate with other herbicides to prevent resistance.
