3-Amino-1,2,4-triazole

[5] 3-AT is also a nonselective systemic triazole herbicide used on nonfood croplands to control annual grasses and broadleaf and aquatic weeds.

Amitrol was included in a biocide ban proposed by the Swedish Chemicals Agency[6] and approved by the European Parliament on January 13, 2009.

On November 9, 1959, the secretary of the United States Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, Arthur S. Flemming, announced that some of the 1959 cranberry crop was tainted with traces of the herbicide aminotriazole.

[10] However, Ocean Spray recovered by expanding the market for cranberry juice, which, although widely available for sale, was before then not popular.

This ensured cranberry growers would not have to rely mostly on Thanksgiving and Christmas for sales, which was the case until the 1959 incident.
