Many growers resist the idea of double cropping because
of the pressure of time. It’s time to think twice. With
ORTHO PARAQUAT CL plus a residual herbicide you can
actually harvest one crop and plant a second the same day.
PARAQUAT is a fast-acting herbicide that kills a broad
spectrum of unwanted weeds and grasses. You can plant
land treated with PARAQUAT immediately. You plant right
into the stubble of the preceeding crop with no fuel con
suming plowing or discing.
The savings on fuel are sizeable. You also save on time,
labor, and equipment usage costs. For best results, apply
PARAQUAT with ORTHO X-77™ Spreader.
DANGER PARAQUAT is highly toxic if swallowed and
should be kept out of the reach of children. To prevent
accidental ingestion, never transfer to food, drink, or
other containers. Read the label carefully and follow all
directions, danger state
ments, and worker safety
rules. Restricted Use
Pesticide. Use all chemi-
cals only as directed.
