The Downsides of Desiccation

Relying heavily on desiccation comes with several disadvantages:

• Added Costs - Chemical inputs for desiccation add significant expense across large acreages.

• Crop Damage - Sprayer tracks late in the season can damage crop and therefore reduce yield.

• Residue Sensitivity – Buyers and markets are increasingly concerned about chemical residues, limiting marketing options.

• Regulatory Changes – Future reductions or bans on crop protection products mean desiccation may not always be an option.

• Environmental Impact – Farmers are under growing pressure to demonstrate reduced chemical use and sustainable practices.
