Diquoshi Herbicide | 1L

Diquoshi Herbicide | 1L is a rapid-contact, non-selective herbicide used for quick burndown of broadleaf weeds, grasses, and desiccation (drying) of crops pre-harvest. It disrupts plant cell membranes on contact, causing visible wilting within hours. Ideal for industrial sites, aquatic weed control (restricted formulations), and crop desiccation.

 Key Specifications of Diquoshi Herbicide | 1L:

1. Active Ingredient:

   • Diquat Dibromide: 200–400 g/L (commonly 240g/L or 400g/L).

   • Chemical Class: Bipyridyl herbicide (similar to Paraquat, but less persistent).

2. Mode of Action:

   • Contact Killer: Destroys green tissue on contact (no root translocation).

   • Light-Dependent: Requires sunlight to activate.

   • Speed: Visible effects in 30 mins–2 hours; complete kill in 1–7 days.

3. Target Weeds:

   • Annual grasses (e.g., barnyard grass), broadleaf weeds (e.g., pigweed), and aquatic plants.

   • Desiccation: Potatoes, cotton, sunflowers pre-harvest.

 Applications of Diquoshi Herbicide | 1L:

1. Non-Crop Areas:

   • Clear weeds in industrial sites, roadsides, or fence lines.

   • Dosage: 2–4 L/ha in 200–400L water.

2. Aquatic Weed Control:

   • Only if labeled for aquatic use: Treat submerged/emergent weeds in ponds/drains.

   • Rate: 1–2 L per surface acre (follow local regulations).

3. Crop Desiccation:

   • Apply 1–2 L/ha to potatoes, oilseed rape, or sunflowers 7–14 days pre-harvest.

4. Spot Treatment:

   • Use 10–20ml per liter of water for knapsack spraying.

Safety & Precautions:

1. High Acute Toxicity:

• Oral LD50: ~230 mg/kg (fatal if swallowed).

• Dermal/Irritation: Corrosive to skin/eyes; causes severe burns.

• Mandatory PPE: Gloves, goggles, respirator, coveralls.

Environmental Risks:

• Highly toxic to fish/aquatic life – avoid water contamination.

• Soil Binding: Inactivated upon soil contact (no residual activity).

Regulatory Status:

• Banned in the EU (since 2018) due to health risks.

• Restricted use in USA, Australia, and other regions (requiring license).

Usage Guidelines:

1. Mixing:

   • Add 100–200ml to 100L water (general weed control).

   • Use non-ionic surfactant for enhanced adhesion.

2. Timing:

   • Apply during active weed growth on sunny days.

   • Avoid rain for 6 hours.

3. 1L Coverage:

   • Non-Crop: 0.25–0.5 ha (at 2–4 L/ha).

   • Spot Treatment: Treats ~1,000–2,000m².
