YUNI-QUAT 200, RC

Mechanism of Action: Contact Impact

"UNI-QUAT 200, SL" is based on an active ingredient from the bipyridylium group (diquat), which triggers an immediate reaction upon contact with vegetative plant parts. Unlike systemic herbicides, this product does not translocate through the xylem and phloem; instead, it causes localized destruction of cell membranes. Upon contact with the leaf surface, it triggers the rapid release of free radicals, leading to lipid peroxidation and the swift desiccation of plant tissue.

Technological Advantages of Desiccation

Utilizing this product as a desiccant enables the synchronization of crop ripening and minimizes harvest losses. For oilseed rape, soybeans, sunflowers, and peas, this provides:

• Reduction of seed moisture content to standard levels within a tight timeframe.
• Suppression of late-stage disease development (such as gray mold and alternaria).
• Prevention of harvest shedding by ensuring uniform maturation.
• Reduced harvester load due to the effective drying of vegetative biomass.

Application as a Herbicide

As a non-selective post-emergence herbicide, "UNI-QUAT 200, SL" serves as a high-efficiency tool for controlling annual broadleaf weeds. The foliar application method makes it indispensable for "zero-tillage" or "minimum-tillage" farming, where field sanitation is required immediately before sowing or prior to the emergence of the main crop (e.g., potatoes).

Operational Features

The product is formulated as a soluble liquid (SL), ensuring excellent solubility and compatibility in tank mixes with most surfactants. A critical advantage is the rain-fastness achieved within 30–60 minutes post-application, thanks to its high rate of penetration into tissues. Given its Class 2 toxicity rating, strict adherence to personal protection protocols is mandatory. Manufactured by Wuxi UnitChem (Jiangsu, PRC), this product is engineered for rapid impact, particularly in scenarios where delays in desiccation or field cleaning would result in significant losses in commodity grain quality.
