Agriventure Paradic Herbicide - Paraquat Dichloride 24% SL

Fast-Acting Contact Herbicide for Rapid Weed Burn-Down

AGRIVENTURE Paradic (Paraquat Dichloride 24% SL) is a non-selective contact herbicide developed for rapid control of emerged grasses and broadleaf weeds. It provides quick desiccation of green plant tissues, making it an ideal solution for pre-plant field preparation, inter-row weed management, plantation crops, orchards, and non-crop areas.

Its contact mode of action delivers visible weed burn within 24 to 48 hours without leaving harmful soil residues. Since Paraquat becomes inactive after touching the soil, it is suitable for conservation agriculture and no-tillage farming systems.

Mode of Action

Paraquat Dichloride is a contact herbicide that is rapidly absorbed by the green parts of weeds. It interrupts the photosynthetic electron transport system (Photosystem I), leading to the formation of highly reactive oxygen species.

These reactive molecules damage plant cell membranes, resulting in rapid drying and desiccation of leaves and stems. Since Paraquat acts only on contacted green tissues, underground roots generally remain unaffected unless sufficient foliage is covered.

Recommended Dosage
