Simazine is an odorless, white, hydrating powder with a triazine skeleton (C7H12ClN5).
This agent is processed into hydrate or granule formulations and marketed as a herbicide. Its mechanism of action is believed to involve absorption through the roots, followed by transfer into the plant body, where it inhibits photosynthesis, thus suppressing growth and leading to death.
Simazine usage is restricted in some areas; therefore, verification is required before use. In some cases, the purchaser's name and address must be provided at the time of purchase. Although Simazine is considered a standard substance, its slow decomposition and strong chemical properties warrant caution.
As a water-polluting pesticide, it is crucial to use Simazine in a manner that prevents it from entering rivers, lakes, marshes, sea areas, or aquaculture ponds.
Simazine is primarily used as a herbicide. Due to its potential to pollute water, it is more commonly used in fields than in paddy fields, where runoff after application is a concern.
It is registered for a wide variety of weeds and can be applied to vegetables, cereals, legumes, fruit trees, flowering plants, as well as both western and Japanese turf. Its use on turf makes it popular among non-agricultural professionals.
When applied uniformly to the soil before the emergence of weeds, Simazine is effective in suppressing weed growth over a long period. It is especially effective against annual weeds such as Dipterocarpaceae, red cress, and spikeweed, as well as grassy weeds like enochlograss and false bindweed. Its effectiveness is consistent across temperature variations, making it suitable for both summer and winter crops.
Simazine is available in the following forms:
Simazine granules are granular and registered for use on annual weeds in both Japanese and Western turfs (Tifton). They are highly effective and applied directly to the soil.
Simazine hydrate is a powder that is diluted in water. This opaque liquid will precipitate if left standing. It is registered for annual weeds on fruit trees, mulberry, and sycamore trees. The application involves diluting the product and applying it to the soil.
Simazine flowable is a liquid formulation. When diluted in water, it foams less and reduces leaf and fruit contamination. Like simazine granules, it is registered for use on annual weeds on Japanese and Western turfs (Tifton) and should be diluted and applied to the soil.
