Alpha-Diquat, wettable powder, (Diquat, 150 g/l)

Why «Alpha-Diquat» is a harvest-saver

When the crop reaches maturity but the weather turns unpredictable, you need a tool that forces uniform ripening without compromise. «Alpha-Diquat» (150 g/L) from Unisity Enterprises L.P. is a classic contact-action desiccant that operators rely on for its fast, visual results. It doesn't travel through the plant; it simply dries out everything it touches.

Operational experience: getting the best out of it

The main challenge with contact desiccants is coverage. Since it doesn't move systemically, the result depends entirely on the quality of your spray pattern. If your nozzles are worn or the application height is incorrect, you’ll get patchy results.

Handling and application tips

• Efficiency: As a water-soluble concentrate, it mixes easily. However, always check your water hardness; hard water can hinder performance, so a conditioner is often a necessary investment.
• Versatility: From oilseed rape and soybeans to potatoes and sunflowers, it helps clear the field of weeds and excess biomass, making harvesting faster and cleaner.
• Safety: Being a second-hazard-class product, it demands strict adherence to safety protocols. PPE is mandatory. Because it is a non-selective herbicide, drift control is your top priority—it will damage any green tissue it touches.

Maintenance and field results

The key to successful desiccation is timing. If you hit the crop too early, you lose yield potential; too late, and you’re wasting fuel and product. It’s simple, it’s effective, and it does exactly what the label promises.
