- User Safety Recommendations
Users should:
Wash hands before eating, drinking, and chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet.
Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.
Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.- Use Precautions
Equipment Paraquat Concentrate is mildly corrosive to aluminum. Thoroughly flush all aluminum spray equipment and aluminum aircraft structures that are exposed to spray solution or spray drift with water immediately after use.
The activity of Paraquat Concentrate may be reduced in dry areas where dust stirred up by high winds or equipment tires can coat weed or plant leaves. Therefore, avoid applications in extremely dusty conditions.
Use Precautions:- Unless otherwise indicated, Paraquat Concentratewill severely injure or kill crop plants emerged at time of application if they come in contact with sprays.
- To enable maximum weed and grass emergence prior to treatment, seedbeds and plantbeds should be formed as far ahead of planting and treatment as possible.
- Avoid disturbing soil when seeding or transplanting.
- Transplanted plants may become damaged when they come in contact with plastic mulch used for preplant weed control and that has been treated with this product. To prevent damage to the crop, sufficient wash-off such as rainfall or sprinkler irrigation prior to planting may be needed.
- Paraquat Concentrate will be ineffective in controlling or suppressing weeds and grasses that have emerged after application.
Use Restrictions:
- Do not pasture livestock in treated fields or feed treated foliage in cotton when this product is used as a cotton harvest aid.
- Do not use this product in residential or public recreational settings (e.g. homes, home gardens, schools, recreational parks, golf courses, and/or playgrounds).
- Do not apply to soils lacking clay minerals such as peat, muck, pure sand, artificial planting media for preplant and preemergence (to the crop) uses.

Container Handling:
Rigid, Nonrefillable Container Small Enough to Shake (Capacity of 5 Gallons or Less): Nonrefillable Container. Do not reuse or Refill this container. Triple rinse or pressure rinse container (or equivalent) promptly after emptying.
Triple rinse as follows: Pump or empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank. Fill the container 1/4 full with water. Shake for 10 seconds. Pump rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank. Repeat this procedure two more times. Prepare container for recycling. If required by recycler, remove valve system by mechanical means, such as a drill fitted with a hole saw or an electric saw, to cut around the perimeter of the container valve system and remove the container valve system. Then offer container for recycling or reconditioning if available, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or by other procedures approved by state and local authorities. Dispose of valve system in a sanitary landfill, or by other procedures approved by state and local authorities.
Pressure rinse as follows: Pump or empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank. While container is in the closed transfer system, rinse at 40 PSI for at least 30 seconds. Once container is rinsed, prepare container for recycling. If required by recycler, remove valve system by mechanical means, such as a drill fitted with a hole saw or an electric saw, to cut around the perimeter of the container valve system and remove the container valve system. Then offer container for recycling if available or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or by other procedures approved by state and local authorities.

Do not reuse or refill this container. Triple rinse or pressure rinse container (or equivalent) promptly after emptying.
Triple rinse as follows: Pump or empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank. Fill the container 1/4 full with water. Remove transfer hoses. Tip container on its side and roll it back and forth, ensuring at least one complete revolution, for 30 seconds. Stand the container on its end and tip it back and forth several times. Turn the container over onto its other end and tip it back and forth several times. Empty the rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank or store rinsate for later use of disposal. Repeat this procedure two more times. Once container is rinsed, prepare container for recycling. If required by recycler, remove valve system by mechanical means, such as a drill fitted with a hole saw or an electric saw, to cut around the perimeter of the container valve system and remove the container valve system.
