Description

HOK Tarzon is a selective, broad-spectrum herbicide containing 50% Atrazine in Wettable Powder (WP) formulation. It is used to control a range of annual grassy and broadleaf weeds, particularly in crops such as maize and sugarcane. Atrazine primarily acts by inhibiting photosynthesis in susceptible weeds, helping reduce weed competition with the crop.

Mode of Action

Tarzon is a selective systemic herbicide. Atrazine inhibits photosynthetic electron transport at Photosystem II (PSII), preventing normal photosynthesis and causing susceptible weeds to stop growing and eventually die. It is absorbed mainly through the roots and also through foliage.
