Potato growth regulation

Uses Technical diquat dibromide is more than 95% pure and forms white to yellow crystals. It is used to desiccate potato vines and seed crops, to control flowering of sugarcane, and for industrial and aquatic weed control. It is not residual (i.e., it does not leave any trace of herbicide on or in plants, soil, or water). Diquat dibromide is a nonselective, quick-acting herbicide and plant growth regulator, causing injury only to the parts of the plant to which it is applied. Diquat dibromide is referred to as a desiccant because it causes a leaf or entire plant to dry out quickly.
