Optimizing Harvest Efficiency with Diquis

Harvesting is a critical stage where timing determines the profitability of the entire season. Diquis by Solantis Ukraine is a specialized desiccant designed to accelerate the maturation process, ensuring crops are ready for harvest even in challenging weather conditions. By effectively dehydrating the plant tissue, it minimizes the risk of yield losses due to lodging or fungal development.

Strategic Use in Field Management

Diquis is highly valued for its contact-based action. It is used when uniform ripening is required across uneven fields or when excessive weeds hinder the harvesting machinery. The product is effective in the following scenarios:

• Sunflowers and Oilseed Rape: Facilitates uniform head/pod maturation, allowing for a timely harvest window and preventing seed shattering.
• Peas: Essential for drying out green foliage, which streamlines the combining process and improves the overall quality of the yield.
• Potatoes: Used to desiccate the canopy, which aids in tuber skin hardening and simplifies mechanical harvesting.

Application and Technical Insights

Operating as a non-selective contact herbicide, Diquis works by destroying cell membranes upon contact. With a dosage of 2.0 to 3.0 liters per hectare, a single application is typically sufficient to achieve the desired effect. Because it is a water-soluble concentrate, preparation of the spray solution is straightforward; however, growers should prioritize uniform droplet coverage to ensure efficacy.

Since Diquis is a contact-type product, it does not translocate significantly within the plant, which helps preserve the seed quality of the main crop. As a 3rd hazard class product, it requires standard protective measures during handling. For farmers looking to reduce moisture content in their crop and optimize the load on harvesting systems, Diquis provides a robust and practical solution.
