Paraquat is a contact herbicide used to control a wide variety of weeds in crops like cotton, soybeans, and potatoes. It works by disrupting the photosynthetic process in plants, leading to their rapid death.

While effective in managing weed infestations, its use requires careful handling and adherence to safety protocols to minimize risks to workers and the environment.
