PARAQUAT

(Paraquat Dichloride 24% SL)

Paraquat Dichloride 24% SL is a fast-acting, non-selective contact herbicide designed for rapid control of emerged weeds in agricultural and non-crop areas. The soluble liquid formulation ensures quick leaf absorption, allowing immediate disruption of photosynthetic activity in green plant tissues.

Paraquat works on direct contact, causing rapid cellular damage that leads to visible weed desiccation within hours of application.

It does not translocate within the plant, making it highly effective for burn-down operations before sowing or between crop rows, helping prepare fields for cultivation and reduce weed competition.

Target Pests

Paraquat Dichloride controls actively growing annual grasses and broad-leaf weeds by rapid contact action, destroying green tissues through photosynthetic disruption, making it ideal for burn-down, inter-row cleaning, plantation floors, and non-crop weed management.

Effectively Controls

  • Annual grassy weeds
  • Broad-leaf weed species
  • Herbaceous field weeds
  • Inter-row weed growth
  • Orchard floor weeds
  • Plantation undergrowth weeds
  • Non-crop area weeds
  • Roadside vegetation growth
  • Canal bank weeds
  • Fence line weeds
  • Pre-sowing weed flush
  • Post-emergence weed mass

Application Areas

  • Pre-Sowing Land Preparation Clears existing weeds before planting
  • Inter-Row Weed Control Manages weeds between crop rows
  • Plantation Crops and Orchards Maintains clean basins and pathways
  • Tea and Coffee Estates Controls persistent weed growth
  • Non-Crop and Industrial Areas Vegetation control in unused zones
  • Canal Banks and Fence Lines Prevents weed spread along boundaries

Benefits & Advantages

  • Extremely Fast Weed Knockdown Visible action within hours
  • Resistant Weed Control Effective on hard-to-kill populations
  • No Residual Soil Activity Safe for subsequent crops
  • Crop Row Compatibility Suitable for directed spraying
  • Prevents Weed Seed Production Stops further weed multiplication
