Each new pesticide active ingredient typically requires a review of more than 120 studies by EPA – atrazine has been the subject of more than 7,000. This database on atrazine is robust and provides a weight of evidence that overwhelmingly supports the safety of atrazine for human health and the environment.

Customer Testimonials

“Simazine is an important herbicide for California citrus growers because of its efficacy in controlling weeds and its low cost. Controlling the cost of production is a major priority for the survivability of the California citrus industry and simazine is an important, cost-effective herbicide that helps in that regard.” -California Citrus Quality Council
“These three triazine herbicides have diverse use patterns and are critically important herbicides used on a wide variety of fruit, grain and vegetable crops, as well as in forests and rights-of-way, and at industrial, commercial, residential and recreational sites. Growers have reached out to us with real fear that the outcome of this consultation process will be the cancelation of herbicides that their production systems, and their livelihoods, depend on.” -United States Department of Agriculture, Office of Pest Management Policy
