YUNI-QUAT 200, RK, Desiccant

Mechanism of Action and Chemical Properties

"UNI-KVAT 200" utilizes the contact herbicidal action of diquat, designed to cause immediate physical degradation of plant cells. Upon contact with foliage, the active ingredient triggers a rapid synthesis of free radicals, which destabilize cell membranes. This process leads to irreversible dehydration of the plant tissues, effectively ceasing biological processes within hours of application.

Technical Specifications for Field Efficiency

• Non-selective Contact Control: The product acts only where it makes physical contact, ensuring no systemic accumulation in the target crop, which is essential for harvest safety.
• Solubility Optimization: As a water-soluble concentrate (SL), it offers superior mixability and tank-stability, preventing nozzle clogging and ensuring uniform coverage of the crop canopy.
• Harvest Management: Ideal for controlling late-season weed pressure and synchronizing the maturation of soybean, rapeseed, and sunflower crops.

Implementation Guidelines

To ensure optimal efficacy, the application should be conducted with a spray volume of 200–300 liters per hectare, ensuring thorough coverage of all green biomass. While the herbicidal effect starts within hours, full desiccation usually occurs within 5–7 days, depending on environmental factors like solar radiation and humidity levels. Given its Category 2 toxicity rating, strict adherence to PPE protocols and drift-reduction techniques is required during field deployment.
