A versatile solution for rapid crop desiccation and immediate control of annual weeds.
Description
Efficient Desiccation and Weed Control
Scorpion Maxi by Nertus is a time-tested solution for farmers working with rapeseed, soybeans, sunflowers, and cereals. Based on Diquat in a water-soluble concentrate formulation, this product serves as both a powerful non-selective contact herbicide and a highly effective desiccant.
Field Applications
Scorpion Maxi addresses two critical operational needs for modern farming:
- Pre-harvest desiccation: The product accelerates crop ripening and dries out vegetation. This enables growers to start harvesting on schedule, minimize grain losses during threshing, and significantly reduce drying costs.
- Weed management: As a post-emergence herbicide, it provides rapid contact action, effectively scorching annual broad-leaved weeds upon application.
Operational Guidelines
Because Scorpion Maxi is a contact-action agent, thorough coverage of the leaf surface is essential for optimal performance. Application rates range from 0.5 to 2.0 liters per hectare, depending on the specific field conditions and objectives. Since the product is a non-selective herbicide, careful application is required near sensitive crops. Importantly, it inactivates rapidly upon contact with the soil, meaning it leaves no residue that could affect future crops in the rotation.
The product requires only one application per season. Classified under hazard class 2, it demands strict adherence to safety protocols when handling the concentrate and preparing the tank mix.

By application method
By application method
Based on the method of application, herbicides are divided into foliar, soil, and root herbicides. Foliar herbicides are applied to vegetative plants and act through their above-ground organs. The main method of application for such preparations is spraying using sprayers or airp... |

By Mode of Action
By Mode of Action
Herbicides are divided into two groups according to their mode of action: Non-selective herbicides — intended for the destruction of all plant species. They are applied in agricultural fields during the absence of the main crop (after harvest, before crop emergence, on fallow lan... |

By Application Timing
By Application Timing
Herbicides are classified according to application timing into pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicides. Pre-emergent herbicides are mostly soil-applied or granular formulations applied before the emergence of crop plants. They are applied either pre-sowing (during pre-sowing cu... |

Desiccant
Desiccant
Desiccants (from Latin desicco — dry; desiccans (desiccantis) — drying) are chemical substances used in agriculture for desiccating plants at the root. They can be conditionally classified as herbicides, as they irreversibly affect plants by causing tissue dehydration, ultimately... |

By type of action
Depending on their ability to move through living tissues, herbicides are divided into contact and systemic. Contact herbicides cause local damage to plant tissue upon contact, which dies or gradually degrades. This action does not always completely destroy the plant; often, its... |
