DICKVAT-STAR

Maximizing Harvest Efficiency with Diquat-Star

Timely harvesting is essential for maintaining crop quality and reducing losses. The Diquat-Star herbicide-desiccant, manufactured by the 'Fabryka Ahrokhimikativ' in Cherkasy, Ukraine, is designed to bring predictability to the end of the growing season. By acting as a contact-type agent, it effectively dehydrates the green mass of crops such as winter rapeseed, soybeans, and sunflowers, allowing farmers to synchronize ripening and prepare fields for harvesting equipment.

Field Application Scenarios

This product is a strategic tool for managing complex field conditions:

• Reducing Operational Delays: In seasons with high rainfall or uneven maturity, the product forces plants to dry out, enabling harvest 7–10 days earlier than naturally expected.
• Weed Management: It acts as a contact herbicide against annual broadleaf weeds, preventing green residue from jamming the combine harvester.
• Crop Quality Protection: For sunflowers, desiccation helps prevent the spread of head rot, ensuring higher quality seeds.

Technical Notes for Agronomists

Diquat-Star is a non-selective, contact herbicide formulated as a water-soluble concentrate. It should be applied via leaf spraying at a rate of 2–3 liters per hectare. Because it is a contact agent, coverage is key—the substance works by disrupting cell membranes upon contact. It requires only one application per season. With a pre-harvest interval of just 7–10 days, it is a highly efficient solution for farmers looking to streamline their harvest logistics while ensuring the product is ready for standard processing.
