AB  - Paraquat  dichloride  (CAS  #  1910-42-5)  and  diquat  dibromide  (CAS  #  85-00-7)  are  dipyridyl  herbicides  used  for  weed  control  and  as  preharvest  (desiccant)  defoliants.  Product  formulations  differ  by  country.  In  the  United  States,  Syngenta  currently  markets  Gramoxone  Inteon  (30.1%  paraquat  dichloride)  and  Reward  (37.3%  diquat  dibromide).  Other,  less  concentrated  formulations  of  diquat  are  also  marketed.  Roundup  QuikPro  is  a  water-soluble  granular  formulation  (73.3%  glyphosate  and  2.9%  diquat).  In  the  United  States,  paraquat  poisonings  greatly  outnumber  diquat  poisonings.
