Diquash is a herbicide for weed control and desiccation in a range of crops.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
DIQUASH is a foliar applied herbicide and crop desiccant, for use in a wide range of crops.
Introduction
Important: This information is approved as part of the Product Label. All instructions within this section must be read carefully in order to obtain safe and successful use of this product.
DIQUASH may be applied pre-harvest to crops of potatoes, oilseed rape, combining peas (to be harvested dry), field beans (for pigeon and stock feed only), linseed, barley and oats (for animal feed only) to speed up harvesting by removal of green weeds and desiccation of the crop.
Diquash does not accelerate ripening; crops should already be mature at time of application. If it is used on crops which are not fully ripe, seeds with low specific weight and poor germination (in the case of seed crops) will be produced. DIQUASH acts rapidly on the green parts of plants (it is rainfast within 15 minutes of spraying) and desiccates crops and weeds within a few days. DIQUASH is inactivated on contact with the soil and so will not affect subsequent crops. Its use does not require specialist application equipment.
Method of application
Apply by means of a conventional hydraulic nozzle tractor-mounted or trailed sprayer. Ensure that the sprayer is correctly calibrated to apply the recommended water volume and spray quality, and that the boom height and nozzles are adjusted to give even coverage of the crop.
Water Volume
Apply in 200-500 litres of water per hectare, as listed under each crop. The activity of DIQUASH is dependent on complete cover of the crop and weeds. Use the higher recommended water rates if the crop or weeds are dense and ensure the sprayer boom is set high enough. When tank mixing DIQUASH with other approved pesticides, follow the mixing instructions of the partner products in addition to those for DIQUASH.
Spray Quality
Apply as a MEDIUM spray using a pressure of 2-3 bar. Where higher spray volumes are required, use twin outlet nozzles or twin spray booms. Do not apply through mist blowers. Avoid spray drift. Do not spray in windy conditions.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

Always ensure that the sprayer is in good working order and calibrated accurately to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
