Mode of Action
Understanding the mechanism of HERAQUAT
Paraquat interferes with the photosynthetic electron transport system by accepting electrons from Photosystem I. This reaction generates superoxide radicals that damage cell membranes and essential cellular structures. The resulting oxidative stress causes rapid tissue desiccation and plant death. Since Paraquat is a contact herbicide, it does not move extensively within the plant or translocate to roots.
