PARAGOLD is broad spectrum, non selective & contact herbicide containing 24% Paraquat dichloride A.I which effectively controls broadleaved weeds & grasses.
It is absorbed by foliage with some translocation in xylem.
An ideal herbicide for conservation and no-till system (only controls the foliage parts of weeds) thus promoting intact roots and preventing soil erosion.
It is used as post emergence directed application & pre-plant application in many crops.
It damages cell membranes & cytoplasm during photosynthesis by producing superoxide.
