Ginny (Anu Products Limited) (Paraquat Dichloride 24% SL) is a non-selective, contact herbicide manufactured by Anu Products Limited. It is a soluble concentrate (SL) formulation containing 24% paraquat dichloride, a potent quaternary ammonium herbicide with rapid contact activity.

Mode of Action: Paraquat dichloride disrupts the electron transport chain in chloroplasts, leading to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). These ROS damage cellular components, including DNA and proteins, ultimately causing plant death.

Major Crops: Ginny can be used as a non-selective herbicide prior to planting or as a directed spray in non-crop areas.

Dosage and Application: The recommended dosage of Ginny varies depending on the target weeds and application method. For general weed control, the recommended dosage is 1-2 liters per hectare. Ginny should be applied as a foliar spray using a conventional sprayer. Make sure to cover all parts of the weeds, including the leaves, stems, and young shoots, with the spray solution.

Benefits of Using Ginny:

  • Non-selective activity, which means it will kill all plants it comes into contact with
  • Rapid contact activity for effective control
  • Low use rates
  • Relatively inexpensive

Safety and Precautions:

  • Ginny is a highly toxic herbicide. It is important to follow all safety precautions when handling and applying this product.
  • Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, goggles, and a respirator, when handling Ginny.
  • Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
  • Do not allow Ginny to come into contact with livestock or pets.
  • Do not contaminate water sources.
  • Dispose of empty Ginny containers safely.

Conclusion:

Ginny is a versatile and effective herbicide that can be used to control a wide range of grasses, sedges, and broadleaf weeds as a non-selective herbicide prior to planting or as a directed spray in non-crop areas. It is a good choice for farmers and other land managers who need a fast-acting, non-selective herbicide with low use rates and a relatively affordable price.

Additional Information:

  • Paraquat dichloride is a highly persistent herbicide, so it is important to follow label instructions carefully to avoid environmental contamination.
  • Ginny is not highly toxic to bees, so it can be applied to non-crop areas with caution.
