Scorpion Maxi

Efficient Desiccation and Weed Control

Scorpion Maxi by Nertus is a time-tested solution for farmers working with rapeseed, soybeans, sunflowers, and cereals. Based on Diquat in a water-soluble concentrate formulation, this product serves as both a powerful non-selective contact herbicide and a highly effective desiccant.

Field Applications

Scorpion Maxi addresses two critical operational needs for modern farming:

• Pre-harvest desiccation: The product accelerates crop ripening and dries out vegetation. This enables growers to start harvesting on schedule, minimize grain losses during threshing, and significantly reduce drying costs.
• Weed management: As a post-emergence herbicide, it provides rapid contact action, effectively scorching annual broad-leaved weeds upon application.

Operational Guidelines

Because Scorpion Maxi is a contact-action agent, thorough coverage of the leaf surface is essential for optimal performance. Application rates range from 0.5 to 2.0 liters per hectare, depending on the specific field conditions and objectives. Since the product is a non-selective herbicide, careful application is required near sensitive crops. Importantly, it inactivates rapidly upon contact with the soil, meaning it leaves no residue that could affect future crops in the rotation.

The product requires only one application per season. Classified under hazard class 2, it demands strict adherence to safety protocols when handling the concentrate and preparing the tank mix.
