Grinfort DK 150, RK, (Dicquat, 150 g/l)

Optimizing Harvest: Why Choose Grinfort DK 150

In modern agronomy, the timing of harvesting is often a race against the weather. When crops ripen unevenly or weed pressure threatens the efficiency of the combine, growers turn to Grinfort DK 150. This desiccant, based on 150 g/l of Diquat, provides a rapid way to dry out green plant tissues, ensuring a cleaner, faster, and more profitable harvest.

Unlike systemic herbicides that translocate throughout the plant, Grinfort DK 150 acts strictly on contact. It targets only the green parts it touches, causing rapid membrane destruction. This makes it a surgical tool for managing the moisture content of your crops just before they are processed by the harvester.

Practical Scenarios for Field Use

• Oilseed Rape and Sunflowers: Essential for uniform maturation. By desiccating the plants, you significantly reduce the risk of head rot or shattering while allowing your machinery to operate at higher speeds.
• Soybeans and Peas: Particularly useful in wet autumn seasons. Drying the green canopy ensures that the beans reach the required moisture level for safe storage.
• Cereal Grains: Helps manage dense weed infestations that would otherwise clog up the combine harvester during the grain pick-up process.

The application rate is between 2–3 liters per hectare, depending on the weed density and crop stage. As a non-selective contact herbicide, it is applied via leaf spraying. Farmers should anticipate that the crop will be ready for harvest about 7 days after application, allowing for a structured and predictable harvest timeline.

Pro-tips for Application

Efficiency with Diquat depends entirely on coverage. Because it is not systemic, you must ensure that your sprayer delivers a fine, uniform mist to coat the plant foliage. Sunlight is a catalyst for Diquat; therefore, sunny conditions significantly accelerate the drying process. As a Class 2 hazard chemical, always prioritize personal protective equipment (PPE) and maintain strict adherence to wind-speed regulations during application to avoid drift into neighboring fields.
