Reglone Super 150 SL

Technical profile of Reglone Super 150 SL: professional desiccation

The core of Reglone Super 150 SL from Syngenta lies in its active ingredient, Diquat (150 g/L). Unlike systemic herbicides, Diquat is a contact-type desiccant that works by generating free radicals upon contact with the plant's chloroplasts, leading to the rapid destruction of cell membranes. This mechanism ensures that vegetation drying begins immediately, regardless of the plant's metabolic activity stage.

Mechanism and operational advantages

• Contact Action: As a non-systemic product, Diquat does not migrate through the plant's phloem. This makes it ideal for pre-harvest desiccation, as it leaves no residues in the harvested parts of the crop (seeds, tubers, or pods).
• Light-Dependent Efficiency: The efficacy of Reglone Super 150 SL is enhanced by sunlight, which accelerates the breakdown of the plant tissues. This allows for precise harvest scheduling in clear weather conditions.
• Broad-Spectrum Control: It effectively manages not only crops like sunflower, rapeseed, potato, and peas but also controls stubborn weeds like common lambsquarters (Chenopodium album) and green foxtail. Furthermore, it suppresses diseases such as late blight and grey mold.

Field Application and Utility

Reglone Super 150 SL is designed for high-efficiency field operations. Applied at rates of 2.0 to 3.0 L/ha (or higher depending on conditions), it ensures uniform crop maturity, which significantly reduces grain moisture content and mechanical harvesting losses. Because it degrades rapidly in the soil, it poses no threat to subsequent crops in the rotation. As a Category 2 hazardous substance, the water-soluble concentrate requires careful handling and the use of personal protective equipment during the mixing and spraying process. This is the optimal solution for professional farmers looking to speed up harvesting cycles and improve grain quality.
