Description
There is a reason that atrazine is one of the leading herbicides, unlike many other herbicides, atrazine has a wide spectrum of uses, applications, and utility. 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. Farmers value atrazine for its effective use against some of the toughest weeds in corn — like lambsquarters, morning glory, nightshade, pigweed, cocklebur, velvetleaf and foxtails – that make it the most popular herbicide in pre-mix combination products.
