Scorpion, SL (diquat, 150 g/l), desiccant

Optimizing Harvest Timing with «л) Десикант»

Uniform crop maturation is a critical factor in modern agronomy. This contact-acting desiccant, based on diquat, is designed to facilitate harvest operations by effectively drying out plant tissue, ensuring that crops like rapeseed, sunflower, and peas are ready for direct combining. By halting vegetative growth, the product redirects plant nutrients into the grain and seeds, maximizing yields and protecting quality.

Practical Scenarios for Field Use

• Sunflower and Rapeseed: The primary goal is to ensure uniform moisture content across the field. This prevents losses during threshing and significantly lowers energy costs required for mechanical grain drying.
• Soybeans and Peas: Eliminating green vegetation reduces wear and tear on harvesting machinery and increases the efficiency of the harvest flow.
• Potatoes: Controlled desiccation of vines strengthens the skin of the tubers, which is essential for extended storage and maintaining high marketability.

This non-selective herbicide acts on contact, meaning it does not translocate within the plant and does not accumulate in the harvested yield. The soluble concentrate formulation allows for quick tank mixing and trouble-free application through standard spray equipment. Whether sourced from production facilities in Hungary (Peters & Burg Kft.) or China (Yangzhou National Chemical Westjong; Zhejiang Jinfanda Biochemical), the quality remains consistent, providing predictable results within 3 to 5 days of application depending on sunlight and temperature.

Why Growers Choose This Solution

The decision to use this desiccant is driven by the need for risk management. By controlling the timing of crop maturation, producers protect their yields from late-season weather variability. This product is an essential tool for those looking to streamline harvesting schedules and ensure the highest possible grain quality immediately upon delivery to the silo.
