A chemical compound containing both amino and triazole groups, used as an herbicide to kill unwanted plants.
From amino- + triazole (from tri- meaning three + azole, a ring containing nitrogen atoms). 3-aminotriazole is the common agricultural form.
Aminotriazole was famously banned from food crops in 1959 after the USDA detected it on cranberries before Thanksgiving—it was one of the first pesticide scare stories that made Americans question what was on their dinner tables.
