I
...plant today:
Some growers protest they haven't got time to double crop.
Ortho PARAQUAT CL herbicide gives it to you. In fact, it lets you
harvest wheat and plant soybeans or corn or sorghum the
same day.
PARAQUAT is a fast-acting contact weed killer. It lets you plant
your soybeans right into the stubble of the wheat without a lot of
extra cultivation. It actually replaces plowing.
For complete early season weed control Ortho PARAQUAT CL
can be tank mixed with Surflan? Lasso?
Lorox® Sencor® as well as with liquid
nitrogen fertilizers. For best results,
ripply 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 statements and worker safety rules
