Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Atrazine is an herbicide of the triazine class. Atrazine functions by binding to the plastoquinone-binding protein in photosystem II, which animals lack. Plant death results from starvation and oxidative damage caused by breakdown in the electron transport process. Atrazine has become one of the most popular applied triazine herbicides in the world due to its high herbicidal efficiency and low price.
