Paranex is a non-selective herbicide that is commonly used to control a wide range of weeds and grasses.1 It works by contact, meaning that it only affects the parts of the plant that it directly touches.2 Paranex is fast-acting and can control weeds within 48 hours.3 It is often used for weed control in agricultural settings, as well as in non-crop areas such as roadsides and industrial sites.

The active ingredient in Paranex is paraquat dichloride, which is a bipyridylium herbicide.4 Paraquat dichloride works by disrupting photosynthesis, which is the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy.5 This leads to the rapid desiccation (drying out) of the green parts of the plant.6

Paranex is a restricted-use herbicide, which means that it can only be purchased and used by certified applicators. This is because it is highly toxic to humans and animals. If you are considering using Paranex, it is important to read and follow the label instructions carefully. You should also wear protective clothing, such as gloves, goggles, and a respirator, when handling this product.
