FAQ for RATNAZINE
What weeds does RATNAZINE control?
RATNAZINE controls Trianthema monogyna, Digera arvensis, Echinochloa spp., Eleusine spp., Brachiaria spp., Amaranthus viridis, Digitaria spp., Boerhaavia diffusa, and Euphorbia spp. in maize and sugarcane.
How does Atrazine in RATNAZINE work?
Atrazine binds to the D1 protein of photosystem II, blocking electron transport and photosynthesis, causing accumulation of reactive oxygen species that rapidly damage and kill susceptible weed cells.
Is RATNAZINE effective pre-emergence in maize?
Yes, RATNAZINE provides effective pre-emergence soil-applied weed control in maize, preventing weed emergence during the critical early establishment period when maize is most sensitive to weed competition.
Can RATNAZINE be used in sugarcane?
Yes, RATNAZINE is selective in established sugarcane at recommended rates, providing effective control of grassy and broad-leaf weeds that compete with sugarcane for soil moisture and nutrients.
What soil conditions favour best RATNAZINE performance?
Moist soil at application improves pre-emergence RATNAZINE performance through soil uptake by germinating weeds. Avoid application to very dry or very sandy soils where leaching may reduce efficacy.
