FASTZONE (Paraquat Dichloride 24% SL) is a fast-acting, non-selective contact herbicide belonging to the Bipyridyl group. It effectively controls a wide range of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds and also suppresses many established perennial weeds. FASTZONE acts by disrupting photosynthesis and damaging cell membranes, resulting in rapid desiccation and death of weeds. It is widely used for weed management in agricultural lands, plantation crops, and non-cropped areas.
