04What are the listed features of Amepro – Paraquat Dichloride 24% SL?+
Contains Paraquat Dichloride 24% as the active ingredient; Formulated as a Soluble Liquid/Concentrate (SL); Herbicide category product for weed management; Registered use in potato, among other listed crops; Fast-acting, non-selective contact herbicide on green tissue; Post-emergence application at defined weed-emergence stage
05How does Amepro – Paraquat Dichloride 24% SL work?+
Paraquat dichloride is a bipyridylium herbicide that acts through contact activity. It intercepts electrons at Photosystem I in the photosynthetic electron transport chain, generating reactive oxygen species that rapidly damage cell membranes, leading to desiccation of exposed green plant tissue. Because of this contact mode of action, thorough spray coverage of weed foliage is required. Paraquat dichloride falls under HRAC/WSSA Group 22 (Photosystem I electron diverters).
06How should Amepro – Paraquat Dichloride 24% SL be applied?+
Amepro (Paraquat Dichloride 24% SL) is diluted in the recommended volume of water and applied as a post-emergence contact spray directed at emerged weed foliage in potato, at the 5–10% weed-emergence stage, using standard knapsack or boom sprayers, following the approved product label.
07What safety guidance applies to Amepro – Paraquat Dichloride 24% SL?+
Use strictly as per the directions on the approved product label
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment during mixing and spraying
