Ametryn, a member of the triazine chemical family, is a kind of 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 also applicable to corn and potato crops for general weed control. Additionally, the farm chemical can act as a vine desiccant on dry beans and potatoes.

Benefits
This agricultural chemical is broken down into non-toxic substances by tolerant plants and, to a lesser extent, by sensitive plants.
