Cyanazine
chemical compound
Cyanazine is a herbicide that belongs to the group of triazines. Cyanazine inhibits photosynthesis and is therefore used as a herbicide.
History
Cyanazine is used as a herbicide to control annual grasses and broadleaf weeds. It belongs to the group of triazine herbicides, just as atrazine. These pesticides work by inhibiting photosynthesis. The majority of the cyanazine used is used for corn. In 1985 this was 96% of the used cyanazine. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) made a profile on the Health and Environmental effects of cyanazine in 1984.
In 1971 cyanazine was brought on the market under the names 'Bladex' and 'Fortol' by Shell. Cyanazine and the other triazines have been among the group of most heavily used herbicides in the mid-west and the United States of America.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Cyanazine” is chemical compound. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Cyanazine, chemical and compound, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “chemical compound” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 23, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q424848. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1985, 1984 and 1971.
Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
