Description
Efficient sunflower harvesting with Nertus Scorpion
When harvest time for sunflowers approaches, waiting for natural ripening can be a gamble with the weather. Using 'Scorpion' by Nertus, I effectively control the maturity process while simultaneously clearing the field of weeds, which significantly eases the combine harvester's workload. As a contact-action desiccant based on Diquat, it delivers results visibly and quickly.
Operational insights
I usually apply between 2.0 and 3.0 liters per hectare, depending on crop density and weed pressure. Since it's a contact herbicide, proper coverage is non-negotiable; I calibrate the sprayer nozzles to ensure the solution thoroughly covers the green foliage. One major practical advantage is that the water-soluble concentrate mixes effortlessly in the tank and doesn't clog the spray system filters, saving precious time in the field.
- Harvest readiness: The crop is ready for direct combining just 10 days after application.
- Weed control: Effectively desiccates annual broad-leaved weeds that would otherwise clog the harvesting machinery.
- Predictability: Classified under safety level 3, it is straightforward to handle with standard PPE protocols.
The key to success with this desiccant is timing. I wait until the seed moisture reaches 30–35% before spraying. This ensures maximum uniformity in ripening and helps preserve the oil content without losses. A single application is usually enough to prepare the entire field, allowing for a cleaner harvest and significantly reducing the load on the combine during the cleaning and separation stages.

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... |

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... |
