PY - 2018 T2 - Poisoning & Drug Overdose, 7e 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.
