Milquat Herbicide – Paraquat Dichloride 24% SL for Broadleaf & Grass Weed Control

Milquat Herbicide by Insecticides India Limited (IIL) is a fast-acting, broad-spectrum herbicide designed to tackle both broadleaf and grassy weeds in agricultural and non-crop areas. Formulated with paraquat dichloride 24 SL, this contact-action weed killer paraquat delivers quick results within hours of application.

The milquat herbicide works by disrupting photosynthesis. Once sprayed, it generates superoxides that break down the plant’s internal cell structure—causing rapid drying and death of exposed green parts. Whether you're managing weeds in cotton, vegetables, tea, or orchards, milquat use ensures reliable burndown and inter-row weed control.

With rainfastness achieved within minutes, it’s ideal for use in unpredictable Indian climates. For a deeper understanding of milquat herbicide uses, explore our Herbicides Category. To ensure safe handling and effectiveness, refer to ICAR’s Weed Management Guidelines.
