Atrazine has long been a mainstay of Corn, Sorghum and sugar cane farmers because it’ s effective in controlling a broad range of yield-robbing weeds, is safe to the crop and fits in a variety of farming systems. Its ability to increase yields is critical as demand for fuel alternatives and food increases.

Atrazine 50% SC Applications:
WEEDS CONTROLLED or SUPPRESSED: Annual Bluegrass ( Poa Annua) , Chickweed ( Common and Mouseear) , Crabgrass, Cransbill, Cudweed, Dichondra, Florida Betony, Henbit, Knotweed, Lespedeza, Moneywort, Mustards, Narrowleaf Vetch, Parsley-Piert, Sandspur, Smutgrass, Spurge, Spurweed, Swinecrest, Woodsorrel and various annual Clovers.

Atrazine 50% SC may be applied during both dormant and growing seasons. Best results are usu- ally obtained when applied in early spring or dormant peri- ods when weeds are small or have not emerged. Do not apply more than two treatments per year.

Atrazine 50% SC controls Spurweed, Florida Betony, Annual Bluegrass and many other problem weeds in St. Augustinegrass and Centipedegrass Turfs. Atrazine 50% SC will control both emerged weeds and weeds from seeds. Rain or water within 2 or 3 days of application may decrease the effectiveness on emerged weeds. However, for the control of weeds from seeds, rainfall or watering is necessary within 7 to 10 days after treatment.

Atrazine 50% SC Benefits:
Atrazine is critically important to US farmers. They value it for its effectiveness against some of the toughest weeds in Corn -- like lambsquarters, morningglory, nightshade, pigweed, cocklebur, velvetleaf and foxtails -- that make it the most popular Herbicide in pre-mix combination products. They like it for its cost effectiveness and power to increase crop yields, delivering an estimated $ 28/ acre advantage over other Herbicides. And as America original stewards of the environment, growers value Atrazine for its compatibility with conservation tillage.

Farmers use Atrazine to control weeds on well over half of the country’ s Corn acreage, about two-thirds of Sorghum acreage and 90 percent of its sugar cane. In 2008, Atrazine was used on nearly 70 percent of Illinois Corn acreage, making it the second the most popular Herbicide for the state’ s Corn farmers.

Atrazine benefits have a proven track record. They are clear and substantial.

Weed Control and Reduced Costs: In comparisons with alternative products, Atrazine is consistently proven to be more reliable, effective against a broader spectrum of weeds and less expensive than any other available approach to weed control. Alternative products are typically less effective and require higher volumes and/ or multiple applications. According to EPA, farmers who use Atrazine save as much as $ 28 per acre in Herbicide costs and increased yields.

Increased Crop Yields: Numerous studies comparing the crop yields for fields treated by Atrazine versus alternative treatments show that Atrazine-treated fields produce consistently higher yields from 4.3 bushels an acre to as much as 10.8 bushels per acre. Field trials show Sorghum yields are also improved by an average 11.3 bushels per acre. Even more impressive are estimates for increased yield in sugar cane acreage which range from 12 to 50 percent.

Conservation Tillage: Unlike many other Herbicides, Atrazine can be applied prior to, during or after planting the crop, or after crop emergence. This application flexibility makes Atrazine very popular for use in conservation tillage or no-till systemsfarming methods that eliminate plowing and/ or reduce tillage. Atrazine is the most widely-used conservation tillage Herbicide in Corn and is a critical rotation product to manage weed resistance.

Conservation tillage makes cropland much less vulnerable to soil erosion, which is reduced by as much as 90 percent when compared to intensive tillage. And when erosion is prevented, so is the runoff of sediment to nearby waterways, helping to protect aquatic ecosystems and the quality of Drinking Water. EPA ranks sediment runoff as the number one pollutant in our national waterways.

Conservation tillage also cuts the amount of fuel used by farmers, reducing their production costs, lowering exhaust emissions and decreasing consumption of non-renewable fossil fuels.

Farmers currently use conservation tillage or no-tillage on almost 44 million acres of Corn in the United States. Atrazine is the preferred Herbicide in these systems, and its loss would greatly impact that achievement.

Benefits to stand behind: Atrazine is the Herbicide of choice for our national Corn farmers; they are confident in its proven track record of safety and effectiveness. During a recent EPA review, the agency received more than 80, 000 public comments from growers, universities, commodity organizations and other farm-related groups and government agencies. The overwhelming majority of these comments point to the high value placed on Atrazine by those who know it best.
