Summary. A single application of paraquat at 0·56 kg/ha applied in 224 l/ha gave short‐lived control of Mikania cordata. An increase in duration of control was obtained either by increasing the dose from 0·28 kg/ha to 1·12 kg/ha with a constant volume rate (224 l/ha) or by using a constant dose (0·56 kg/ha) and reducing the volume from 896 l/ha to 112 l/ha. Complete eradication of M. cordata was achieved by applying paraquat at 0·56 kg/ha or 0·28 kg/ha followed 2‐3 weeks later by a second application at 0·28 kg/ha in 112 l/ha.
