Simazine APPLICATIONS
Biochemistry Photosynthetic electron transport inhibitor at the photosystem II receptor site. Maize tolerance of triazines is attributed to conjugation with glutathione. Mode of action Selective systemic herbicide, absorbed principally through the roots, but also through the foliage, with translocation acropetally in the xylem, accumulating in the apical meristems and leaves. Uses Control of most germinating annual grasses and broad-leaved weeds in pome fruit, stone fruit, bush and cane fruit, citrus fruit, vines, strawberries, nuts, olives, pineapples, field beans, french beans, peas, maize, sweet corn, asparagus, hops, alfalfa, lupins, oilseed rape, artichokes, sugar cane, cocoa, coffee, rubber, oil palms, tea, turf and ornamentals.

Simazine ANALYSIS
Product analysis by glc with FID (CIPAC Handbook, 1980, 1A, 1343; B. G. Tweedy & R. A. Kahrs, Anal. Methods Pestic. Plant Growth Regul., 1979, 10, 493; AOAC Methods, 1995, 971.08). Residues determined by glc with DMC or FPD (K. Ramsteiner et al., J. Assoc. Off. Anal. Chem., 1974, 57, 192; B. G. Tweedy & R. A. Kahrs, loc. cit.) or by hplc. In drinking water, by gc with FID (AOAC Methods, 1995, 991.07).
