About Paraquate Dichloride-24% SL

Paraquat Dichloride 24% SL is a highly effective, non-selective, contact herbicide used for rapid knockdown of broadleaf weeds and grasses. It acts within hours, inhibiting photosynthesis to dry out foliage while leaving roots intact for soil conservation. It is widely used in agriculture (tea, rice, potatoes) and for weed control in non-cropped areas.

Active Ingredient: Paraquat Dichloride 24% SL (Soluble Liquid).
Mode of Action: Contact herbicide; damages cell membranes and cytoplasm by producing superoxide during photosynthesis.
Action Time: Rapid knockdown; becomes rain-fast (non-washable) within minutes of application.
Use Cases: Post-emergence directed application and pre-plant application to clear fields before sowing.
Target Crops: Tea, potato, rice, sugarcane, grapes, rubber, sunflower, cotton, and plantation5

Dosage and Application (General Recommendations):

Dosage: Generally 500-1000 ml per acre, depending on crop and infestation level.
