Paraxone (CROP LIFE SCIENCE LTD.)Paraquat Dichloride 24% SL is a powerful, fast-acting non-selective herbicide that effectively controls a wide range of weeds, grasses, and woody plants. It is a contact herbicide, meaning it kills the plant tissue it comes into contact with. Paraxone is a Restricted Use Pesticide (RUP) in the United States, which means it can only be purchased and used by certified applicators.
