The preparations can be used for desiccation of sunflowers, they can be applied by aerial spraying, only from fixed-wing aircraft or helicopters. The emergency permit applies to the following herbicides: Reglone Air (producer: Syngenta), Solaris (producer: Globachem NV, Belgium) and Desicash 20 SL (manufactured by Sharda Cropchem Ltd., India). Nébih allows the marketing and use of the above preparations from August 9 to September 23, 2024, exclusively in sunflower culture, for stock drying. The agent can be applied by aerial spraying, from a fixed-wing aircraft or a helicopter. The size of the manageable area is a maximum of 47,190 hectares.

Aerial spraying can only be carried out using an anti-drift nozzle, with a setting that ensures that the diameter of the spray juice droplets falling on the culture to be treated is at least 200 µm by 50% volume. The simultaneous use of drift-reducing additives is also necessary. During aerial application, in order to protect non-target plants and aquatic organisms, it is necessary to observe the safety zones, which are 50 m from surface water, 50 m from non-agricultural land, and 100 m from other agricultural crops.
