Promising results from two diquat alternatives in linseed

摘要

Not only will next year's ban on diquat have a big impact on pre-harvest management of potato crops, it also sets a challenge for linseed growers. Richard Allison talks to a company looking at alternatives.Two alternatives to diquat for desiccating linseed crops are being trialled, with the aim of being available to growers for harvest 2020. Linseed growers presently have only two options when it comes to desiccating crops -diquat and elyphosate.
