Amitrole

Amitrole (CAS 61-82-5, EC 200-521-5) is a synthetic triazole herbicide, also known under trade names Vorox, Emisol, Amigol, and Aminotriazole. It carries the molecular formula C2H4N4 and is classified within the agrochemical category. No E-code designation applies to this substance.

Amitrole functions primarily as a non-selective, systemic herbicide used in agricultural and non-crop land management. It inhibits carotenoid biosynthesis in target plants, causing chlorophyll breakdown and bleaching that leads to plant death. It has historically been applied for control of perennial weeds, grasses, and aquatic vegetation in industrial and agricultural settings.

This material is supplied as a powder or flake solid and is subject to REACH registration requirements within the European Union. Procurement teams should note that amitrole is classified as a substance of concern under EU pesticide regulations, and its approved uses are subject to national authorization. HS code 29339990 applies for import and export classification.
