Day-One Herbicide (Paraquat Dichloride)
Paraquat is a systemic, non-selective contact herbicide that controls a wide range of annual grasses, broadleaf weeds and it is also highly effective in the long-term control of perennial grasses. It is fast-acting and leaves no biologically active residues in the soil, thus permitting immediate planting or sowing after spraying is done. It also has the potential for total weed control in agriculture. Paraquat effectively controls broadleaf weeds and grasses in fruit orchards and ornamental trees and shrubs in agriculture and forestry.
Mode of Action
Paraquat is absorbed by plant foliage where it is translocation in the xylem thereby, disrupts the process of photosynthesis.
