Unwanted weeds and grasses can significantly reduce crop yield, robbing plants of sunlight, nutrients, and water. Paranex, formulated with Paraquat Dichloride 24% SL, is a fast-acting non-selective contact herbicide that offers powerful control of annual and perennial weeds. This herbicide is a must-have solution for farmers looking to clean their fields quickly and efficiently before planting or between crop rows without disturbing the soil.
🔬 Active Ingredient: Paraquat Dichloride 24% SL
Paraquat Dichloride is a highly effective herbicide known for its contact action on green plant tissues. When applied to weeds, it rapidly disrupts the process of photosynthesis, causing the leaves to wilt, dry, and die. Paraquat’s mode of action ensures that only the parts of the plant it contacts are affected, leaving the root zone intact, which is ideal for non-soil residual use.
Chemical Group: Bipyridilium
Formulation: Soluble Liquid (SL)
Mode of Action: Contact herbicide that interferes with electron transport in photosystem I
