Benefits of Paraquat Dichloride 24% Sl
- Fastest knockdown weedicide: Visible wilting starts in 2 – 3 hours, full kill in 24 – 48 hours fastest action of any weedicide in India
- Rain-fast in 15 – 30 minutes: Best choice for monsoon spraying when sudden rain is a risk
- Wide crop approval: CIB-approved for tea, rubber, cotton, aquatic weeds, coffee, potato, apple, grapes
- Soil-safe: Binds tightly to soil on contact does not leach down, safe to plant new crop after 1 to 2 days
- Inter-crop friendly: Safe directed spray in orchards and plantations does not enter through tree bark
- Cost-effective per acre: Lower dose than glyphosate, faster results, lower per-acre cost
- Works in cool weather: Effective even in winter when glyphosate becomes slow
How Does SUMAX Work?
Paraquat is a contact herbicide it works very differently from glyphosate:
- Sprays on weed leaves: Paraquat enters the leaf surface in minutes
- Disrupts photosynthesis (PSI): Blocks the photosystem I in the plant cell
- Creates damaging free radicals: These oxygen radicals burst the leaf cells from inside
- Plant dries and dies: Wilting starts in hours, full death in 24 – 48 hours
Important: Paraquat is a contact killer only it does NOT travel to roots. Perennial weeds (Doob, Motha, Kans grass) will regrow from roots. For root-level kill on perennials, use Glyphosate 41% SL instead.
Paraquat (SUMAX) vs Glyphosate — When to Use Which? SUMAX (Paraquat) = fast knockdown in 24 – 48 hours, rain-fast in 15 minutes, best for tea, rubber, cotton pre-sowing, aquatic weeds, and inter-crop spray where you need quick visible results. Glyphosate = slow but kills roots also, best for tough perennial weeds (Motha, Doob, Kans) and pre-sowing fields where you need full root kill. Many farmers tank-mix a low dose of glyphosate + paraquat for both fast knockdown and root kill.

Love it
I really like this handbag. The pebbled leather texture looks elegant and feels good quality. It is small but still fits my daily essentials like phone, wallet, and keys.
The top handle gives a classy look, and the adjustable strap makes it easy to wear as a shoulder bag. The magnetic closure is convenient and easy to open and close.
It looks stylish for both casual and dressy outfits. I am very happy with this bag.

Beautiful, good quality, and perfect size
Color: Purple, Color: Purple
I ordered in purple. I absolutely love it. It has three separate sections on the inside and one hidden pocket on the inside. It’s the perfect size to hold everything I need. It has two open pockets. I put my reading glasses in one and my keys in the other. In the middle section, I put my wallet and a small make up bag. And that leaves two other sections for other items like bills, mail, important papers, snacks, you know the really important stuff all women need. Even with items in all three pockets it doesn’t bulge or loose shape. I like the quality of the material and the color is gorgeous. The handles are sturdy with the gold accents that help keep the handles from wearing out. Super cute and I have already ordered another purse by this brand.

The hardware is sturdy and adds a touch of sophistication to the overall look.
The handbag is also incredibly versatile. Its classic design pairs well with both casual and formal outfits, making it a great addition to any wardrobe. Plus, the price is very reasonable for the quality and style it offers. Overall, this handbag has exceeded my expectations. It’s stylish, functional, and well-made, offering excellent value for money. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and fashionable handbag!

Classic style and great size
Color: Black, Color: Black
The size and style of this bag are exactly what I was looking for — something polished enough for meetings, school conferences, and other business-type occasions. I’m 5'2", and the proportions work really well for my frame.
I like the classic design and the gold hardware — it looks stylish without being flashy. The quality seems good so far, but I am a little nervous about the strap brackets since I saw other reviewers mention issues with them breaking. Hopefully, that won’t be a problem.
The only downside for me is the three main sections inside. The bag already has plenty of pockets, so having three large compartments makes it a bit harder to remember where I put things. It just takes a little more digging around than I’d prefer.
Overall, it’s a beautiful, structured handbag that feels elegant and professional for the price.
