Diquat dibromide（Cat No.:R007489）is a fast-acting, non-selective contact herbicide used to control broadleaf and aquatic weeds. It operates by generating reactive oxygen species that disrupt plant cell membranes, leading to rapid desiccation and cell death. Commonly applied in agriculture, horticulture, and aquatic vegetation management, diquat dibromide is valued for its effectiveness and quick action. However, it does not translocate within plants, making it most effective against young, actively growing tissues. It poses toxicity risks to humans and animals if ingested or improperly handled, necessitating careful application and environmental monitoring.
