anyone use a parquat product? I think it is used mostly by row crop farmers. I know you have to have a licience to use it. Just wondering about application rates and expense. Supposed to be a quicker kill than roundup?

It is very effective and does provide a quicker dessication of plant material. Generally is more expensive than say roundup by several $/acre. It is also kinda nasty stuff to handle, so most applicators prefer RU. Far as I know is is effective on pretty much everything, have used it to take out mixed grass stands before and it was almost 100% effective on all the grasses and a few broadleave weeds.

I thought Agent Orange was 2-4-5-T or was that just another of the components?
