Paraquat is a non-selective contact herbicide from the bipyridilium group, acting rapidly after contact with weed foliage.
Flash Plus - Paraquat 20% SL
Paraquat is a non-selective contact herbicide from the bipyridilium group, acting rapidly after contact with weed foliage.
It disrupts photosynthesis and generates reactive oxygen radicals, leading to cell membrane destruction and rapid desiccation of green tissues.
Due to its fast action and broad-spectrum activity against both grassy and broadleaf weeds, Paraquat is widely used in land preparation, no-tillage systems, orchards, sugarcane fields, and non-crop areas.
⚠️ Due to its high toxicity to humans and animals, strict safety precautions must be followed when using this herbicide.
