Overview
About this product
Desicash is a contact desiccant with diquat dibromide 150 g/L that dries down crops before harvest. Diquat destroys the cell membranes of the green parts of plants, and the tissues dehydrate.
Oilseed rape at yellowing of 70 % of the pods and soybean at the start of pod browning are treated at 2.0–3.0 l/ha. Sunflower at the start of head browning is sprayed by ground at 2.0 l/ha or by air at 2.0–3.0 l/ha, cereal crops by air at wax ripeness at a grain moisture of up to 30 %, 1.5–2.0 l/ha.
Potato is treated 10 days before harvest, 2.0 l/ha.
