Ok.
Paraquat is only active and kill weeds within 12 hours after application and therefore within 1 week new weeds have started growing and regenerating.
The only solution is to use slow acting herbicides like the gramozone or glyphosate but Note that these herbicides can take 2weeks before weeds die off and make sure it does not get in.contact with the plantain.

ANOTHER HIDDEN INFORMATION ABOUT PLANTAIN

To get a good bigger bunch,you need to do THINNING

Some farmers produces small bunch of plantain.because they do not practise thinning.
When your plantain tree is about bringing out fruit, you should remove some suckers and leave one or two suckers that will replace the mother plant.
If you dont do that, there will be competition of suckers for food,nutrients,and the mother plant will not be able to access nutrient to produce big fruits.
I hope this help intending and established plantain farmers

Glyphosate will only kill the plantain if it touches the leaves.
After apllication,it kills weeds and the weeds that are yet to come up.
It cannot kill the plantain even if washes by the rain except you allow it to touch the leaves during application.
