Sustainable Crop Desiccation aims to efficiently dry out cover crops before planting or crops before harvest without using toxic chemicals that leave residual effects on both soil and food. Sustainable agricultural practices improve the economic vitality of operations, conserve water and energy, maintain healthy soil, protect air and water quality, enhance elations with employees and preserve local ecosystems and wildlife habitat.
FireHawk Bioherbicide is an excellent fit with a sustainable agricultural regime as it not only delivers effective environmentally-friendly weed management and crop desiccation but also provides significant benefits to soil health and leverages the other sustainable agricultural practices.

Crop desiccation of potatoes
Potato fields are typically desiccated 10 days before harvest. Chemical herbicides like Diquat are still used that are forbidden in other countries for this application due to their high toxicity and their residue in potatoes. Potato field was desiccated using FireHawk Bioherbicide.
FireHawk Bioherbicide was applied as a 6.4oz FireHawk /1G water spray mixture at 75 - 100G/acre application rate. FireHawk Bioherbicide delivers effective desiccation of potato plants preparing potatoes for mechanical harvest. FireHawk Bioherbicide is an effective desiccant and very suitable for potato desiccation and desiccation of other crops. In addition to its desiccation performance, it is fully biodegradable, leaves no residues, and is people, livestock and environmentally friendly.
