Dukat, RK, (Dicquat, 150 g/l)

Efficient Desiccation: Using Dukat, SL in the Field

This contact-type desiccant is essential for stopping plant vegetation, effectively reducing grain moisture before combine harvesting.

Operational Performance

As a non-selective herbicide, Dukat works rapidly upon contact with the green parts of the plant. Because it is a contact herbicide, it does not translocate deeply; therefore, high-quality spray coverage is paramount for consistent results across the field.

Practical Insights for Application

• Application Limits: The product is strictly limited to one application per season, making timing vital.
• Waiting Period: A 10-day safety interval must be observed between the application and the harvest. This time ensures the desiccation process is completed, allowing for optimal grain moisture levels.
• Safety and Handling: Classified under hazard class 3, standard safety measures for handling liquid concentrates apply. Ensure proper skin and respiratory protection while managing the solution.

For crops like potatoes, rapeseed, or sunflowers, this formulation provides a straightforward solution to reduce post-harvest drying costs. The soluble concentrate is easy to mix, stable during preparation, and works reliably under various field conditions. It is a proven, no-nonsense tool for professional field management during the pre-harvest phase.
