New AAtrex 4L is the brand of atrazine that
pours. This special liquified product controls
most annual grass and broadleaf weeds in corn
and sorghum right up to harvest just like AAtrex
wettable powder.
But with AAtrex 4L there's no premixing. You
simply shake and pour it directly into the tank.
And apply in a minimum of 10 gallons of water
per acre.
Easier handling. A minimum of agitation. And
less chance of nozzle and screen plugging.
That’s AAtrex 4L. And We have it! In 1 gal.
cartons.
