ICF Penguin for Fast and Effective Weed Control

ICF Penguin (Paraquat Dichloride 24% SL) is a fast-acting, non-selective contact herbicide designed for post-emergence control of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds. It rapidly destroys green plant tissues on contact, making it an excellent solution for weed management in orchards, plantations, non-crop areas, and between crop rows where directed spraying is recommended.

Its Soluble Liquid (SL) formulation provides quick coverage and visible weed burn-down within a short period after application, helping reduce weed competition for nutrients, moisture, and sunlight.

Mode of Action

This destroys cell membranes, causing quick wilting and drying of weeds. Since it has no significant systemic movement, only the sprayed portions of the weeds are affected.

Recommended Dosage

Apply according to the crop and weed management recommendations provided on the product label. Use sufficient clean water for uniform spray coverage.
