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.

My Wife Keeps Trying to Steal it-Its THAT Good!
Size: Body Pillow & Pillowcase, Color: White
I ordered this for myself because for the past 15 years I have had back issues and my chiropractor told me sleeping with a body pillow would really help. I also hate being hot when I'm sleeping, so I was excited when I saw the cooling feature. I got to use this for a couple of days until I made the mistake of telling my wife to TRY it and now she won't give it back. It's so comfortable.
The pillow length is 4.5 feet, which is nice, but I wish it was a bit longer so I could put my whole leg on it. The 20-inch width makes up for the shorter length though, it's perfect. It gives plenty of support to take pressure off my back, knees, and hips. I've also been using the pillow horizontally under my legs occasionally. I love that the body pillow is adjustable meaning you can add or remove the shredded memory foam to how firm you want it. It comes with a pillowcase that is really nice too.
Once you use this body pillow, you will never be able to sleep without it!

BEDGEAR Does It Again!
BEDGEAR used to make a kidney shaped pillow with a pretty firm memory foam type inside, and a gel cooled outside. It was an ABSOLUTE fave of mine for years. Since it died a number of years ago, and doesn’t appear to be made anymore, I’ve been in search of something just like it…or equally amazing in a different way…without luck. (I probably have 10 somewhat useless pillows in a closet to show for it.). So…long story short, I ended up back at BEDGEAR, and got the one that at least was the same color and of a similar construction as my old friend. And ya’ know what? It’s about as close to replicating that sleep experience as anything I’ve come across. Fairly firm, interior materials that don’t really move around, and a medium height that works well for me as a side sleeper. A very well constructed pillow too, that’ll last! Whether it’s this one (which I thought was very reasonably priced for a top quality item) or another one, BEDGEAR is a pillow manufacturer you should look into. Their products are a cut above.
