• Acts mainly through root absorption, and its effectiveness depends on rainfall or irrigation.

MAXIMUM RATE AND LIMITATIONS:

• The maximum rate of atrazine application in all crops (except plantation forestry) is limited to 3kg a.i. atrazine/ha per year.
• For plantation forestry, the maximum rate is 4.5kg a.i. atrazine/ha per year in sandy soils and highly erodible soils, and 8kg a.i. atrazine/ha per year in clay loam and heavier textured soils.

• DO NOT mix, load, or apply within 20m of any well, sinkhole, or water source.

INCORPORATION (PRE-PLANT AND AT SOWING APPLICATION):

• Growers should report incidents of resistant weeds to FARMALINX Pty Ltd.

INTEGRATED WEED MANAGEMENT STRATEGY:

• An Integrated Weed Management Strategy for TT Canola has been developed to optimize the performance of TT Canola and manage herbicide resistance.
