Crystal Gramoxone Herbicide

Syngenta Crystal Gramoxone Herbicide

Crystal Gramoxone Herbicide is a non-selective, post-emergence contact herbicide containing Paraquat Dichloride 24% SL. It is designed for quick control of actively growing green weeds, including annual grasses and broad-leaved weeds.

As a contact herbicide, it works mainly on the green plant parts that receive the spray. The active ingredient acts rapidly in the presence of light, causing treated weed foliage to dry down.

Crystal Gramoxone can be considered for situations where quick, non-selective weed control is required. Because it is non-selective, it can also damage desirable green plants if the spray contacts them.

Technical Composition

Crop & Weed Stage

Dosage & Application

Why Farmers Choose Crystal Gramoxone

Farmers sometimes need a weed-control option that works quickly on emerged green vegetation. Crystal Gramoxone provides contact action against susceptible weeds and can help reduce the time and labour involved in manual weed removal.

Its non-selective nature makes it suitable only for situations where the target vegetation can be safely sprayed without contacting desirable crops or plants.
