Atrazine: Re-registration
Atrazine detected in finished water of 47% of public water systems in Indiana (1992-2003)
Drinking water standard (MCL) set at 3 ppb
EPA re-registration, registrants take active role in reducing atrazine in public drinking water.

New standard set
Part of re-registration new standard set, atrazine and metabolites = total chloro-triazine (TCT) trigger level at 2.6 ppb annual average

Atrazine Monitoring Program

Atrazine Monitoring Program
In atrazine monitoring program, watersheds in a 5-year 2 step plan
1) Water analyzed on 90 day rolling average. If average is
exceeded, mitigation plan required
2) If average exceeded second time within 5 years, atrazine use will be banned in watershed

This older herbicide spray system was used for banding

This conventional broadcast herbicide spraying system
is used now.
This new adaptationof older banding methods
has potential toreduce herbicide inputs
for preemergence treatmentsup to about ~47%
without reducing $ returns
Zone herbicide application of preemergence herbicideis best made at planting. Spray nozzles can be attached
to planter boxes so that herbicide is applied at different ratesin row and between row. This approach means thatzone herbicide application can be made on farmland
with terraces.
In Zone Herbicide Application (ZHA) different herbicide rates are applied between rows (BR) and in row (IR) using even nozzle tips and one spray boom so that
The total amount applied is reduced up to 47% compared to broadcast treatments.
