Paraquat Dichloride Hydrate(Cat No.:R069586)is a quaternary ammonium compound widely used as a fast-acting, non-selective herbicide. It functions by disrupting photosynthesis through the generation of reactive oxygen species, leading to rapid desiccation of green plant tissue. Commonly applied in agricultural and horticultural settings, it is effective against a broad spectrum of weeds and grasses. Due to its high toxicity, paraquat is strictly regulated and handled under controlled conditions. Supplied as a hydrate form and in high purity, it is used in herbicide formulation research, plant physiology studies, and toxicological analysis.
