Siccation agents play a central role in preparing potatoes for harvest. They are used to remove the haulm from the plants and thus promote tuber ripening. Chemical siccation agents such as diquat or glyphosate have traditionally been used in agriculture to speed up this process. However, with growing awareness of environmental protection and sustainability, many farmers are looking for alternatives. Electric siccation offers a promising solution.

By using electricity instead of chemicals, the weed is specifically killed without leaving any harmful residues. This method not only protects the environment, but also the health of the workers and improves soil fertility. The shift towards chemical-free solutions is a pioneering step towards more sustainable agriculture.
