Product Features
Paraquat dichloride is a kind of quick acting, non-selective herbicide, which destroys green plant tissue on contact and by translocation within the plant, and has no effect on non-green plant tissue. As this restricted use pesticide is highly toxic to humans and there is no specific antidotes once it is absorbed by people, so we add the smelly emetic in this weedkiller as warning to reduce the harm to people.

Usages
1. Paraquat is a great weedkiller choice which can be used to remove weeds in the orchard, mulberry field, tea garden, rubber plantation and the forest belt, when the weeds are in the exuberant growth period. Each hectare of land needs 1.5 to 3L of paraquat mixed with 375kg water. The agricultural chemical should be sprayed evenly on the leaves and stems of weeds and when the weeds grow up to 30cm, the dosage should be doubled.

2. If paraquat is used in the field of wide row crops as the corn, sugarcane and soybean, protective and directed inter-row spraying should be applied. It is usually used before sowing or after sowing when the seedlings do not sprout. Each hectare of land needs 1.2 to 3L of this herbicide mixed with 375kg water. During the crop growth period, the dosage increases to 1.5 to3L, and the agrochemical should be mixed with 375kg water for protective and directed inter-row spraying.

Attentions
1. As the unselective herbicide, the paraquat is often used in the growth period of crops or trees. While, please ensure that the crops are not contaminated by the product for fear of the risk of hazard.
2. Please take appropriate measures during dispensing and spraying. Users can wear rubber gloves, gauze mask and protective overalls.
3. Please make sure that the herbicide will not be sprayed onto or contaminate other crops. The product should be used when there is no vegetable in the field.
4. The spraying should be even. Users can add 0.1% detergent into the solution to improve the adhesion. Basically, paraquat is still effective if it rains in 30 minutes after the application.
