Feedback 37% SL
Diquat dibromide 37%
Product Overview
Feedback 37% SL is a highly effective herbicide specifically formulated for the desiccation of potato tops prior to harvest. Its precise formulation ensures efficient and reliable results, minimizing crop loss and maximizing yield. This product is designed for professional agricultural use and requires careful application to achieve optimal results.
Chemical Composition
Diquat Dibromide: The active ingredient responsible for the desiccation of potato foliage. Its rapid action ensures efficient plant drying.
Application and Dosage
Feedback 37% SL is applied as a foliar spray to potato plants. The recommended dosage is 37% Diquat Dibromide per unit volume, though precise application rates will vary depending on factors such as potato variety, plant growth stage, and environmental conditions. Always refer to the detailed application guide for specific recommendations and safety precautions.
Mechanism of Action
Diquat dibromide, the active ingredient in Feedback 37% SL, functions as a contact herbicide. Upon contact with the plant foliage, it disrupts the photosynthetic process, leading to rapid desiccation and wilting. This process effectively dries the potato tops, facilitating easier and more efficient harvesting. The rapid action minimizes the risk of regrowth and ensures a clean harvest.
Safety Precautions
Feedback 37% SL is a powerful herbicide and should be handled with care. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, goggles, and protective clothing, during application. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Follow all instructions on the product label carefully. Keep out of reach of children and pets. In case of accidental ingestion or skin contact, seek immediate medical attention.
Storage and Handling
Store Feedback 37% SL in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and other incompatible materials. Keep the container tightly closed when not in use. Dispose of empty containers responsibly according to local regulations. Never reuse the container for any other purpose. Proper storage and handling are crucial to maintaining product efficacy and ensuring safety.
Environmental Considerations
While Feedback 37% SL is highly effective, responsible application is essential to minimize environmental impact. Avoid over-application and follow recommended dosage rates precisely. Apply during periods of low wind to prevent drift. Be mindful of surrounding vegetation and waterways to prevent unintended herbicide exposure.
