Part of the book series: Residue Reviews ((RECT,volume 23))

Abstract

Since the discovery of their herbicidal potential in the mid-1950’s, the dipyridylium herbicides 1,1’-dimethyl-4,4’-bipyridinium salts (paraquat) and 6,7-dihydrodipyrido[1,2-a:2’, l’- c]pyrazinediium salts (diquat) have been used extensively for control and management of terrestrial and aquatic vegetation. Crop desiccation, pasture renovation, crop production with limited or no tillage, and selective weed control are only a few of the basic agricultural operations for which these chemicals have proved useful.

Contribution from the department of Agronomy, Cornell University in cooperation with the Crops Research Division, Agricultural Research Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture. Department of Agronomy paper no. 785.
