PARAQUAT

(Paraquat Dichloride 24% SL)

PARAQUAT is a non-selective contact herbicide formulated with Paraquat Dichloride 24% SL, designed for fast and effective control of emerged weeds in agricultural and non-crop areas. The soluble liquid formulation enables quick dilution and uniform spray coverage on weed foliage.

Once applied, Paraquat is rapidly absorbed through green plant tissues where it disrupts photosynthesis by generating reactive oxygen species.

This oxidative damage causes immediate cell membrane destruction, leading to rapid wilting and desiccation of treated weeds, providing efficient burn-down weed management.

Target Pests

PARAQUAT rapidly controls emerged weeds by destroying green plant tissues through oxidative stress, causing immediate cellular damage, rapid wilting, and complete foliage burn without translocation or residual soil activity.

Effectively Controls

  • Annual broadleaf weeds
  • Annual grassy weeds
  • Perennial weed foliage
  • Parthenium hysterophorus weeds
  • Cynodon dactylon foliage
  • Cyperus weed shoots
  • Amaranthus weed species
  • Chenopodium album weeds
  • Echinochloa grass weeds
  • Digitaria grass weeds
  • Weed regrowth foliage
  • General green vegetation

Application Areas

  • Pre-Plant Land Clearing Rapid removal of existing weed growth
  • Orchard Inter-Row Weed Management Keeps orchard rows weed-free
  • Plantation Crop Row Spaces Controls weeds between plantation rows
  • Non-Crop Boundary Areas Manages vegetation along field edges
  • Post-Harvest Field Sanitation Eliminates leftover weeds after harvest
  • Weed Control Before Sowing Ensures clean seedbed preparation
