An organic herbicide, used widely in the cultivation of corn and sorghum, that can have deleterious effects on some species of underwater grasses.
A herbicide used in the production of corn and other crops in the United States.
Herbicide (trade name Atrex, Gesa prim, or Primatol) that is widely used for control of broadleaf and grassy weeds in corn, sorghum, sugar cane, macadamia orchards, pineapple, and turf grass sod.
A widely used selective herbicide. It is environmentally significant, since it is one of the most commonly detected pesticide residue in drinking water wells. Its use in Australia was reviewed with the final report in 2002. See http://www.apvma.gov.au/chemrev/atrazine_final.pdf and http://www.nccnsw.org.au/member/tec/projects/tcye/tox/atrazine.html
(AAtrex) - A common corn herbicide that is in the triazine family of herbicides. Measured in µg/L or ppb. The MCL for atrazine is 3 µg/L or ppb.
Atrazine is an herbicide contaminant which has been in the news lately after, being upgrade from a "possible" to a "likely" carcinogen. according to USA Today, atrazine is the most commonly used herbicide. Atrazine enters water supplies as runoff from farmers' fields. According to the EPA, atrazine causes cardiovascular system problems and reproductive difficulties.
a synthetic compound derived from triazine that is widely used as an agricultural herbicide; "atrazine is thought to cause cancer and is banned in some European countries"
A photosynthesis-inhibiting herbicide often used to kill weeds and quack grass that can affect the cardiovascular and reproductive systems
an herbicide widely used on a variety of crops, notably maize, sorghum and sugar cane, for the pre- and post-emergent control of broad-leaved weeds.
A white, crystalline solid organic compound, it is a widely used herbicide. Exposure to high levels of atrazine can cause congestion of heart, lungs and kidneys; low blood pressure; muscle spasms; weight loss; and damage to adrenal glands. A lifetime of exposure can cause cancer, weight loss, cardiovascular damage, retinal and some muscle degeneration.
Atrazine, 2-chloro-4-(ethylamine)-6-(isopropylamine)-s-triazine, is an s-triazine-ring herbicide that is used globally to stop pre- and post-emergence broadleaf and grassy weeds in major crops. Atrazine binds to the plastoquinone-binding protein in photosystem II, inhibiting electron transport. Atrazine is one of the most widely used herbicides and according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) the U.S. used 77 million lb of Atrazine in 2003.
