What kind of pesticide is paraquat?

I don't think people living in big cities will understand what kind of pesticide paraquat is. The name looks a bit tragic, but this medicine is basically only available in rural areas! Want to know how farmers weed now, come and learn about this article!

Paraquat is a pesticide.

Maybe listening to this name, we will think it may be a kind of Chinese medicine, but everything is not treated only by name or surface, just like in high school, people always think that the name is like a boy's name, and others are boys! Paraquat is actually a pesticide, which is used for weeding, commonly known as herbicide, to help farmers promote crop growth. Without pesticides, farmers' harvest would be very low, just like in ancient times, and the crops planted were not enough for insects to eat. Therefore, we still hope that the progress of science can promote the development of society and create more crops with low toxicity but help them grow better.

Paraquat weeding

As the name implies, paraquat is a kind of pesticide used for weeding, and it is also a widely harmful drug. When I was in my hometown, my father often sprayed paraquat on the farmland, in order to make the grass and other plants that interfere with the growth of crops slowly dry up, and finally pay attention to the whole clean land for the growth of crops, so that experts can make full use of the nutrients in the sun and soil to grow full fruits. But sometimes, paraquat is not very omnipotent, because it will make our crops wither. In the eyes of adults, paraquat can only be used when the weather is dry, otherwise the medicine will be washed away in the next rain and the grass will not wither. Some farmers who don't know how to use paraquat often burn their crops together. It should be noted that paraquat solution should not touch the roots of crops, otherwise experts without drug protection will wither.

I hope scientists can develop more practical pesticides so that farmers can work hard under the conditions of social development!
