“Reglon” is a contact preparation that is used to desiccate cereal plants, rapeseed, potatoes, and sunflowers before harvesting. The drug helps speed up the drying process of the crop and significantly simplifies the harvesting process. This is especially important when the crop ripens unevenly. In order for the product to give the desired effect, it is important to use it correctly.
Composition, release form and purpose
The drug belongs to the category of desiccants. The active component of Reglon Super is diquat.There are 150 grams of this substance in 1 liter. The drug is sold in the form of an aqueous solution. It is packaged in 10 liter containers.

The composition stimulates the drying process. This is especially true when the crop ripens unevenly. In addition, the substance helps facilitate the harvesting process.
The composition is used as a herbicide. When treating fields before sprouts appear, the drug provides protection against a number of annual weeds.
The mechanism of action of the drug "Reglon"
This contact pre-harvest agent is used to treat forage and industrial plants. It is used to influence cereals, beets, and sunflowers. The composition is also used for peas, rapeseed, potatoes and other plants.
The active component of the substance is considered to be diquat. It disrupts photosynthesis and provokes the destruction of cell membranes. As a result, the plant dries out. This entails simultaneous ripening of the fruits. This makes harvesting much easier.
The drug "Reglon Super" successfully copes with annual grasses and dicotyledonous weeds. It is recommended to start harvesting 1 week after processing the crops. By reducing the moisture parameters in the seed material, it is possible to reduce drying costs. Moreover, cleaning can be done in any weather. After the action of the desiccant and when the seeds are dried, it is possible to preserve their oil content.
The benefits of the substance include the following:
- fast action, which helps to begin harvesting 5-7 days after application;
- uniform ripening of the crop in any weather conditions;
- the ability to save on seed drying by reducing humidity parameters;
- no risk of the drug being washed off during precipitation;
- the ability to dry weeds, which further simplifies harvesting;
- prevention of disease development.
Instructions for use and dosage
It is possible to achieve the maximum effect from using the substance at a temperature of +15-25 degrees. In sunny and dry weather, the rate of desiccation increases. It is important to use a sufficient volume of working solution to thoroughly wet the leaves.
It is important to ensure that the liquid does not drain. You can make a working solution only from clean water. After completing work, it is important to rinse the sprayer.
The standards for using the product are presented in the table:
| Culture | Method of application | Consumption rate, liters per 1 hectare |
| Sunflower | Apply the drug at the stage of browning the basket | 2-3 |
| Cereals | Treat crops a couple of weeks before harvest | 1,5-2 |
| Sugar beet | Plantings should be sprayed at the stage of browning of 30-40% of the glomeruli | 4-6 |
| Carrot | Plantings should be processed at the stage of complete seed ripeness. | 2,5-3 |
| Sorghum | Use at the stage of waxy ripeness of seed material | 4 |
