Solution(By Examveda Team)

Atrazine is the most commonly used herbicide with the greatest use on corn, sorghum, and sugarcane that can be applied before and after planting to control broadleaf and grassy weeds.
It can effectively control grasses in the maize field without harm to the main crop, as degradation of the chemical in the maize plant occurs due to the presence of the GSH enzyme.
GSH is a Glutathione S-transferase and is capable of preventing damage to important cellular components caused by reactive oxygen species such as free radicals, peroxides, heavy metals, etc.
