soluble liquid

diquat 150 g/l

Non-selective contact desiccant for pre-cropping desiccation of sunflower, pea, rape, seed plants of cereal crops, alfalfa, carrot, cabbage, beet, turnip, fodder beans, soybeans and radish.

Advantages:

Fast drying of crops, thus facilitating cropping;
Fast and uniform ripening;
Reduced losses of seeds during cropping;
Facilitates cropping;
Reduced moisture content in seeds.

(A) - aerial treatment

Application technique. Mix preparation method
For ground treatment

Prepare the mix immediately before use and apply during the same day.
Fill the sprayer tank to about its half with water, add the required preparation dose and top up with water until full while continuously stirring the mix using hydraulic agitators. The refilling station shall be disinfected after work completion.

For aerial treatment:
Prepare the mix using mechanical aid immediately before application. It is feasible to use fixed refilling stations SZS-10 and mobile units APT Temp and APZh-12. To prepare the mix, fill the tank of the refilling unit with pure water to 1/2, turn the agitator on, add the measured preparation dose and keep on filling the tank with water while stirring it.
In specific cases when there are no dedicated ground-based preparation and refilling facilities, the mix may be prepared directly in the sprayer tank of the aircraft. First, fill the tank with pure water to 1/2, then add the required preparation dose and water to the required volume.
As the aircraft approaches the area of treatment, turn the hydraulic agitator on to additionally stir the mix (hydraulic agitator working time min. 2 minutes).
