Scorpion, EC, (Dicamba, 150 g/l)

Efficient Desiccation and Weed Control

When working with sunflowers, having a reliable tool for pre-harvest management is essential. Scorpion, EC (Diquat 150 g/l), provided by Nertus, serves as a dual-action product—acting both as a non-selective contact herbicide and a highly efficient desiccant. From an operator's perspective, the convenience of this water-soluble concentrate lies in its speed and immediate effect on the plant's green mass.

Field Application and Performance

Since the product is a contact-type herbicide, the effectiveness of the application depends heavily on sprayer calibration. Ensuring uniform coverage is the key to achieving uniform plant desiccation.

• Accelerated Maturity: Significantly reduces moisture content in seeds, allowing for earlier harvesting by up to 10 days.
• Equipment Efficiency: By drying out the vegetation and weeds, the harvester faces less drag and cleans the grain more effectively, saving fuel.
• Weather Resilience: The rapid penetration of the active ingredient ensures that efficacy is maintained even if light precipitation occurs shortly after application.

Reliability and Production Standards

The product is manufactured by a consortium of experienced facilities, including Peters & Burg Kft. (Hungary) and major Chinese producers (Yangzhou National Chemical Westjong & Zhejiang Jinfanda Biochemical). Adhering to the 3rd hazard class, the product requires standard safety precautions, such as the use of proper PPE during handling and application. As a post-emergence herbicide and desiccant, Scorpion integrates smoothly into professional farming workflows. It minimizes the need for extra machinery passes, thereby reducing maintenance costs and fuel consumption while ensuring the crop reaches the storage facility in optimal condition.
