The active ingredient in Gramoxone, paraquat, is deactivated when it comes into contact with the soil by quickly binding to soil particles and thereby does not have a negative effect on groundwater or soil organisms even after years of frequent application. Gramoxone is sold in containers of 5 liters, 1 liter, and 500 milliliters by Syngenta. It destroys all annual and certain perennial weeds.
The concentration of paraquat in Gramoxone is 200 grams per liter. Gramoxone is fast-acting in every weather condition, regardless of active weed growth, temperature, and soil moisture. Furthermore, the unique speed of action of the product allows the growth of multiple crops per season, thereby maximizing yield.
If you worked with Gramoxone or were frequently around it, you are at high risk of developing Parkinson’s disease, as people who are exposed to paraquat have a 250% greater chance of coming to struggle with this condition than those who are not.
The family members of individuals who worked with Gramoxone need to pay close attention to the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, which include slowness of movement, a tremor in the hands, legs, jaw, or head, stiffness of the limbs and trunk, and impaired balance and coordination.
