REGLON FORTE 200 SL

Technical Insights: How Reglone Forte 200 SL Works

Reglone Forte 200 SL relies on Diquat (200 g/l) formulated as a water-soluble concentrate. Unlike systemic herbicides, this product acts as a contact desiccant. Upon application, it disrupts the photosynthetic electron transport chain, causing rapid cell membrane destruction and oxidative stress. This triggers immediate dehydration of green tissues, effectively arresting plant physiological processes without systemic translocation.

Why This Technical Profile Matters in the Field

• Rapid Visual Response: Due to its direct contact mechanism, the impact is visible within hours. This makes it an ideal tool for final crop preparation when time is of the essence before weather windows close.
• Rainfastness: Because the active ingredient is absorbed rapidly upon contact, the product remains effective even if rainfall occurs shortly after application.
• Application Flexibility: Designed for versatile use on crops like winter rapeseed, soybean, sunflower, peas, potatoes, and cereals. The dosage rate of 2–3 L/ha allows operators to adjust intensity based on canopy density and target weed pressure.

Production Standards and Safety

Manufacturing is distributed across Syngenta’s certified facilities in Switzerland, USA, Belgium, and France, ensuring consistent formulation quality and high purity of the active ingredient. As a Class 2 hazard substance, strict adherence to application safety protocols is required. With a pre-harvest interval of 7–10 days and a limit of 1–2 applications per season, Reglone Forte provides a predictable, high-performance solution for harvest management.
