MAYAQUAT is a broad spectrum, non-selective and contact herbicide containing 24% Paraquat dichloride A.I., absorbed by the foliage, with some translocation in the xylem which effectively controls broad leaved weeds & grasses.
MAYAQUAT is an ideal herbicide for conservation and no-till system (only controls the foliage parts of weeds), thus promoting intact roots and preventing soil erosion.
MAYAQUAT is used as post emergence directed application & pre-plant application in many crops.
MAYAQUAT damages cell membranes & cytoplasm during photosynthesis by producing superoxide.
Within minutes of application of MAYAQUAT it gains non-washing properties.
MAYAQUAT is a non-selective contact herbicide, absorbed by the foliage, with some translocation in the xylem. It acts in presences of light & desiccate green plant parts. Site of action is in the chloroplasts.
Induce vomiting repeatedly and wash out stomach. Give 500ml. of 30% suspension of sterilized bento or fullers earth orally. Repeat after 2-4 hours. Treat Symptomatically.
