Reduce the diquat rate by 10-15% for desiccation through an adjuvant

In agriculture, adjuvants are often neglected, considered an unnecessary expense. However, adjuvants not only accelerate or improve pesticide action but also help save money. For example, by reducing diquat rates for desiccation by 10-15%. This was shared in an interview with SuperAgronom.com by Yurii Tretiak, general director of Agroteka company. "I'll start with Glider (ed. - applied to 1.5 million hectares in Ukraine in 2024). A simple example. Let's say the standard diquat application rate during desiccation is 2 l/ha. But with Glider, we guarantee the same result with a 10% lower application rate. I even know a company that successfully reduces diquat quantity by 15-20%. Because it's a contact product, and the larger the leaf coverage, the faster the result will be achieved. This coverage will be provided by the adjuvant, namely our Glider," says Yurii Tretiak.
