Usage: Simetryn was introduced by Ciba-Geigy AG (now Syngenta AG). It is a triazine herbicide mainly used for broad-leaved weed and grass control in paddy rice and other crops.

Application: Biochemistry: Photosynthetic electron transport inhibitor at the photosystem II receptor site. Mode of action: Selective herbicide. Uses: Used in combination with thiobencarb to control broad-leaved weeds in rice.
