General information

AtraForce is a selective, systemic, triazine agricultural herbicide, absorbed principally through the roots, but also through the foliage with translocation acropetally in the xylem and accumulation in the apical meristems and leaves.

It is a photosynthetic electron transport inhibitor at the photosystem II receptor site. Maize tolerance is attributed to rapid detoxification by glutathione transferases.
