Inactive on contact with the soil.HRAC Herbicide Group Code: D.Active Ingredient:Paraquat ion (bypiridyl) / Parakwat ioon (bipiridiel) 200 g/l,(as dichloride salt / as dichloriedsout 276 g/l).Co. Reg. No./Mpy. Reg. Nr.: 2013/043963/07DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Use only as directed.• Mix the required amount of PARAQUAT 200 SL with clean water in the spray tank.• Add non-ionic wetting agent for best results at 3 times the rate advised on the label for fungicides.• Apply by ground sprayers in 200 to 500 litres water per hectare.• Use the higher spray volume and higher dosage rate for spraying dense weed growth.• Ensure thorough wetting of the weeds.• Do not spray buds or green parts of any crop.• PARAQUAT 200 SL kills green tissue but does not harm mature bark.• Paraquat is inactivated rapidly on contact with the soil and has therefore no residual action.APPLICATION RATES:VINEYARDS: 2,5 to 5 ℓ/ha Apply overall when weeds are 10 to 15 cm high before bud burstof the vines. Subsequently as a directed spray.DECIDUOUS FRUIT: 2,5 to 5 ℓ/ha Spray as necessary from spring onwards.Pome fruit only: Mix with SIMAZINE for residual effect.CITRUS, AVOCADOS, PECANS & PAPAYAS: 1,25 to 5 ℓ/ha In citrus only, PARAQUAT 200 SL can be mixed with a suitableresidual herbicide.BANANAS, TEA & COFFEE: 1,25 to 2,5 ℓ/ha Apply through a low pressure floodjet nozzle.SUGAR CANE: 1,5 to 3 ℓ/haDirected post-emergence in plant and ratoon cane. Should the spray come into contact with green cane leaves scorching willoccur but this is only a temporary effect. Other suitable herbicides may be added for residual effect.LUCERNE (Over 6 months old): 2,5 to 5,5 ℓ/ha Apply just before dormancy breaks or after cutting before regrowthof lucerne occurs.VEGETABLES: (Grown in rows) 1,25 to 2,5 ℓ/ha Use a knapsack sprayer with suitable shield to protect all parts ofthe crops from spray mist.ALL CROPS: Stale seedbed method 1,25 to 2,0 ℓ/ha Prepare seedbed with fertilizer, irrigate and let the weeds comeup to cover the surface. Spray and sow within 3 days without reworking the seedbed. This method is especially useful for cropsfor which only a few herbicides have been registered e.g. lettuce, chicory, cucurbits. These may be sown a few days before spraying.MINIMUM CULTIVATION: 1,5 to 4 ℓ/ha Apply before or just after planting annual crops. May be mixed with a corresponding residual herbicide.POTATOES (Haulm destruction): 2,5 to 5 ℓ/haUse 200 to 500 litres water per hectare. Do not apply if haulms show signs of wilting as tuber damage may occur. Spray ONLY when at least 5 hours of intensive sunshine are expected to follow.INDUSTRIAL AREASYoung weeds: 2,5 ℓ/ha Use 500 to 1 000 litres spray mixture per hectare depending ondensity of vegetation.Mature weeds: 5 ℓ/ha Use 500 to 1 000 litres spray mixture per hectare depending ondensity of vegetation.FIRE BREAKS:  2,5 to 3,75 ℓ/haTwo months before the onset of the fire season:Spray a 1 to 2 metre wide band (the sparser the vegetation, the wider the band) on both sides of a 5 to 12 metre wide untreated strip (or about 10 metre from a road or canal).Burn the sprayed bands 3 weeks later, while the unsprayed areas are still green and unburnable.The strip in between can be burned relatively safely after the first frost or drought when the vegetation in the strip has dried out.AFFORESTATION: 2,5 to 3,75 ℓ/ha Spray around young trees with a shield to protect the plantWEEDS CONTROLLED:All above ground green tissue of actively growing plants is killed off by PARAQUAT 200 SL.Annual weeds are well controlled.Weeds with reserves stored underground recover eg. sedges, bulbs, Karoo daisy, oxalis, kikuyu, etc.Onkruiddoder in die vorm van ‘n oplossing, vir die beheer van eenjarige grasse en breëblaaronkruide ingewasse soos aangedui en vir brandbane.
