Common NameAmetryn(F05026)
2D Structure
Description

Ametryn, a member of the Triazine chemical family, is a herbicide which inhibits photosynthesis and other enzymatic processes. It is used to control broadleaf weeds and annual grasses in pineapple, sugarcane and bananas. It is used on corn and potato crops for general weed control. It is also used as a vine desiccant on dry beans and potatoes. The EPA classifies it as Toxicity Class III, slightly toxic. Symptoms of acute exposure to high doses include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle weakness, and salivation.
