Benefits of Paraquat Dichloride 24% Sl
- Fastest knockdown weedicide: Visible wilting starts in 2 – 3 hours, full kill in 24 – 48 hours fastest action of any weedicide in India
- Rain-fast in 15 – 30 minutes: Best choice for monsoon spraying when sudden rain is a risk
- Wide crop approval: CIB-approved for tea, rubber, cotton, aquatic weeds, coffee, potato, apple, grapes
- Soil-safe: Binds tightly to soil on contact does not leach down, safe to plant new crop after 1 to 2 days
- Inter-crop friendly: Safe directed spray in orchards and plantations does not enter through tree bark
- Cost-effective per acre: Lower dose than glyphosate, faster results, lower per-acre cost
- Works in cool weather: Effective even in winter when glyphosate becomes slow
How Does SUMAX Work?
Paraquat is a contact herbicide it works very differently from glyphosate:
- Sprays on weed leaves: Paraquat enters the leaf surface in minutes
- Disrupts photosynthesis (PSI): Blocks the photosystem I in the plant cell
- Creates damaging free radicals: These oxygen radicals burst the leaf cells from inside
- Plant dries and dies: Wilting starts in hours, full death in 24 – 48 hours
Important: Paraquat is a contact killer only it does NOT travel to roots. Perennial weeds (Doob, Motha, Kans grass) will regrow from roots. For root-level kill on perennials, use Glyphosate 41% SL instead.
Paraquat (SUMAX) vs Glyphosate — When to Use Which? SUMAX (Paraquat) = fast knockdown in 24 – 48 hours, rain-fast in 15 minutes, best for tea, rubber, cotton pre-sowing, aquatic weeds, and inter-crop spray where you need quick visible results. Glyphosate = slow but kills roots also, best for tough perennial weeds (Motha, Doob, Kans) and pre-sowing fields where you need full root kill. Many farmers tank-mix a low dose of glyphosate + paraquat for both fast knockdown and root kill.

So Pretty
Color: B
A beautiful necklace for my beautiful daughter. She is 12 years old and starting to appreciate pretty jewelry rather than fun/colorful/kid’s jewelry; BUT - she’s 12!!! No real gold or fancy jewelry just yet! Gifts like this perfectly hit the mark right now. It looks beautiful, feels fun and trendy but more mature, has held up well to the wear and tear of a 12 year old, and is the perfect size for her at this time. She loves anything with her initial on it so she, of course, adores this necklace. She wears it several times a week. She has occasionally worn this necklace to bed on accident and it has not broken or gotten damaged in any way. All in all, I recommend this cute necklace as a beautiful gift!

Classy and Pretty Necklace Set
Color: C, Color: C
This is a very pretty necklace set. The chains are thin, delicate, and lightweight in a yellow gold color. I feel they are the same as what is pictured. I especially like the lettering of the small font, which makes it look classier than others I’ve seen of the same style. So far, they seem to be pretty durable to wear as they don’t feel like they’ll immediately break if they were to get snagged on a top. I have a smaller neck as I’m small myself (about 100lbs), and the chains fit me perfectly on the tightest clasps. They are adjustable. Some metals, such as nickel, cause me to have a slight skin reaction, but this did not. It included a small pink jewelry wipe, much like that of one for eyeglasses, which I’ve never seen before. It also had a sweet little blank note card in a tiny printed envelope inside the jewelry box to make it extra special should it be given as a gift. These were thoughtful details that gave it that little extra something for me.
There were only two things I wish were a little different. The first is that they are two separate necklaces, and I’d like if they were connected as one, so you’d only have to clasp them on once. The second is that rather than the little wipe, I’d of personally preferred a little dust bag to store them, as many jewelry pieces include. However, I don’t think either of these takes away from their overall style or quality, so it did not make me deduct a star.
Overall, I feel this is a lovely set to purchase for yourself, or to give as a gift to someone special. I definitely feel the value for your money is there for these necklaces.

Beautiful, Dainty Layered Set!
Color: S, Color: S
I am so impressed with this little necklace set! I was looking for something simple and elegant for daily wear, and this initial necklace set exceeded my expectations for the price.
What I Loved:
1. The Packaging: It comes in a very cute, gift-ready box with a "Handmade with Love" message and a floral insert. It even includes a "Thank You" sticker, which is a really sweet touch if you're planning to give this as a gift.
2. The Design: You get two separate necklaces. One is a classic, sparkly water-wave chain, and the other is a dainty satellite chain (the one with the little beads) featuring a small, polished initial "S."
3. Versatility: Since they are two separate pieces, you can wear them together for that trendy layered look or just wear one at a time for something more subtle.
4. Quality: The gold tone is bright and has a high-end shine to it. The clasps feel secure, and they both have adjustable extenders so you can get the layering lengths just right.
What I am concerned about:
Polish: I liked the finish and quality but I am skeptical about the tarnishing on the necklace. This might loose with time. I guess the time will tell.
The Verdict:
If you’re looking for a thoughtful, personalized gift or just a cute new addition to your jewelry box that won't break the bank, this is it. It looks much more expensive than it actually is!

Cute and meaningful personalized necklace
Color: C, Color: C
This necklace is really sweet and delicate. I chose the letter C, and it makes the piece feel very personal and special. The layered design gives it a trendy look while still being simple and elegant.
The 14K gold plating has a beautiful shine, and the necklace feels lightweight and comfortable to wear. I also like that it’s adjustable, so you can wear it as a choker or a little longer depending on the style you want.
It’s a lovely little piece that works well as a gift for a child, teen, or even for yourself if you like personalized jewelry.
Overall, it’s cute, meaningful, and nicely made.
