Features & Benefits
- General Information
PQ 200 is non-residual and translocated, so foliage of plants should have complete coverage of spray solution to achieve best results. PQ 200 is inactivated by soil so plants should be clean of mud or dust at time of application and only clean water should be used.
Applications & Uses

- Applications
- Applicable Crop
- Application Technique
- Herbicide Target Species
- Spillage
Exclude non-essential people from the area. Wear protective clothing and prevent material from entering waterways. Absorb spill with inert material such as soil, sand, etc, and place in a waste container (Note: Soil inactivates paraquat). Wash area with water, and absorb with further inert material. Dispose of safely to a suitable landfill.
- Weeds Controlled
Most annual and perennial grasses except couch, paspalum and kikuyu. Clumpy grasses such as cocksfoot and tall fescue may have regrowth and require further treatment. Most annual broadleaf weeds are controlled when young and actively growing, however regrowth will occur with perennial broadleaf weeds.
- Directions For Use
It is an offense for users of this product to cause residues exceeding the relevant MRL in the Food Notice: Maximum Residue Levels for Agricultural Compounds.
Method Situation Rate Critical Comments Handgun or knapsack Barley grass contro 300mL/100 liters of water Spray when barley grass is at the green seedhead stage Boom Clover seed crops (Grass suppression only) 1.5 - 2 liters/ha Application should be made 2 weeks prior to closing the paddock. Irrigate where appropriate 1 - 2 weeks post application. Handgun Boom Drainage banks 750mL/100 liters of water 7.5 liters/ha Spray weeds emerging from water only Boom Lucerne crops 2 - 3 liters/ha Spray when lucerne is dormant and weeds are young and actively growing. For residual control add Atraflow™, Simatop®, Assett™, or other appropriate herbicides. Boom Pasture renovation 1.5 – 2 liters/ha Spray Autumn or Spring prior to reseeding. When there are high levels of perennial weeds, better results will be obtained using glyphosate. As a directed spray Strawberries, Vegetables, Tobacco (inter row only) 3 liters/ha Use a low pressure nozzle with a shielded spray on weeds up to 7cm in height. As a directed spray Citrus or deciduous fruit orchards. Forest planting and vineyards 350mL/100 liters of water Apply to young actively growing weeds. Spray should be directed at the base of trees or vines. Avoid contact with green bark or foliage. Tank mix with a suitable residual herbicide if required. - Application Methods
BOOMSPRAY: Use water volumes up to 300 liters/ha to ensure complete plant coverage. KNAPSACK, HANDGUN: To ensure complete coverage of plants, use equipment and pressure that does not induce misting.
- Mixing
Half fill the spray tank with water, then add PQ200. Agitate thoroughly while filling tank with water. When mixing with other herbicides, add PQ200 after other water soluble and flowable products, e.g., Atraflow.
- Rainfall
PQ 200 is rainfast within 20 minutes of drying on the plant.
- Resistance Management
GROUP D HERBICIDE
PQ200 contains paraquat, which belongs to the bipyridyliums chemical family. Some naturally occurring weeds may become resistant when excessive use of the same herbicide occurs. To prevent or delay the development of resistance, use in tank mixes and/or rotate use with herbicides with a different mode of action. Consult http://resistance.nzpps.org/index.php for alternative modes of action and details of resistance management strategies (if any) for the crops listed on the label.
