Rodular
Product Overview
Rodular (Dharmaj Crop Guard) Paraquat Dichloride 24% SL is a non-selective contact herbicide used to control a broad spectrum of annual and perennial grasses, broadleaf weeds, and woody plants in various non-crop settings. It is a liquid formulation of paraquat dichloride, a fast-acting herbicide known for its rapid desiccation and broad-spectrum herbicidal activity. Rodular effectively eliminates weeds, providing long-lasting weed control.
Active Ingredient
- Paraquat Dichloride: Paraquat dichloride is a bipyridinium herbicide that disrupts electron transport in plant cells, leading to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). These ROS cause oxidative damage to cell membranes, proteins, and DNA, ultimately causing plant death.
Mode of Action
Rodular (Dharmaj Crop Guard) Paraquat Dichloride 24% SL is a non-selective contact herbicide that is rapidly absorbed by the leaves of plants. Once absorbed, paraquat dichloride is rapidly translocated throughout the plant, reaching the meristematic tissues where it disrupts electron transport in plant cells. The disruption of electron transport leads to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which cause oxidative damage to cell membranes, proteins, and DNA. As a result, plants lose their ability to function and die within a few days.
Application Methods
Rodular (Dharmaj Crop Guard) Paraquat Dichloride 24% SL is applied as a non-selective contact herbicide using a knapsack sprayer, boom sprayer, or aerial applicator. The herbicide should be mixed with water according to the label instructions and applied evenly to the target weeds, ensuring that all parts of the plant are wet. Rodular can also be used as a spot treatment for individual weeds or small patches of weeds.
