e0“A split treatment with diquat at 300 g/ha or carfentrazone-ehtyl + mineral oil followed by a second application of diquat or carfentrazone-ethyl can led to a slower periderm formation and even give secondary growth.”

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Metoxuron, carfentrazone-ethyl and diquat at 300 g/ha caused slower leaf and stem desiccation.
- Intervention effect Mechanical foliage destruction with carfentrazone-ethyl and mineral oil promoted periderm formation better than other schemes.
- Intervention effect Split carfentrazone treatment could slow periderm formation.
- Intervention effect Split treatments could produce secondary growth.
- Observation Double diquat treatment followed by a higher dose gave satisfactory results.
- Observation Carfentrazone plus mineral oil followed by diquat gave satisfactory results.
- Association Rhizoctonia tuber infection increased with a longer field period after treatment.
- Association The infection increase was more pronounced in schemes with slower skin set.
