Desiccants are used to prepare crops for harvesting earlier and under any weather conditions. Let's consider the action and purpose of the desiccant "Lost", its composition and use according to the instructions. How to prepare the solution, in what concentration and what is the consumption of the product. Compatibility of desiccant with pesticides, rules and shelf life, preparations to replace the product.
Composition and dosage form of the product
“Lost” is produced by Agroburo RUS LLC, it is an aqueous solution containing the active compound diquat, 150 g per 1 liter.Refers to contact pesticides, a herbicide with continuous action. Available in 20 liter cans.
Spectrum and principle of action of the desiccant "Lost"
Intended for pre-harvest processing of areas with sunflower, peas and rapeseed. Diquat is absorbed by above-ground plant tissues, converted into hydrogen peroxide, the substance destroys cell membranes, and the crops dry out.
The effect of the drug (withering, turning yellow, drying out) appears the very next day. The plants dry out completely in 1-2 weeks. "Lost" is also used as a herbicide against 1-year-old weeds. The desiccant solution is not washed off by water or rain, and works at temperatures up to +28 °C.
Diquat disintegrates quickly in plant tissues; the agricultural product can be used on plants grown for seeds and on plants of food value.
Instructions for use and dosage
For all crops, the application rate of the Lost herbicide is the same - 2 liters per hectare. Sunflower is sprayed at the stage of browning of the heads. The solution consumption is 200-300 l/ha, when spraying from aircraft - 50-100 l/ha. Peas are sprayed 10 days before harvest, when the grain reaches the stage of biological ripeness. Consumption – 200-300 l/ha. Rapeseed is sprayed when the seeds in the pods turn brown. Consumption – 200-300 l/ha. The waiting period is 10 days, one-time processing.
Safety precautions when working with the product
"Lost" belongs to the products with hazard class 3 for people and bees. Do not use desiccant near bodies of water.Despite the low toxicity, it is necessary to work with solutions of the drug using protective equipment: gloves, plastic goggles and a respirator.

In case of possible poisoning, if symptoms of intoxication are felt, take several tablets of activated charcoal and drink water. Then induce vomiting.
Compatibility
"Lost" can be combined with most pesticides, but before mixing, you should check the miscibility of a small volume of both products. If there is no change in the color of the solution, the temperature does not increase, transparency remains, and there is no sediment, the drugs can be considered compatible.
Storage periods and rules
Desiccant "Lost" can be stored in warehouses with agricultural products for 2 years. Temperature conditions – from 0 ºС to +30 ºС. The room should be dark and dry.
