Herbicide Types: Weed Protection

Novice gardeners often do not know what herbicides are, but over time, the need to learn more about them will necessarily arise. Weeds appear instantly, after the snow melts and the first warming of the earth by the sun’s rays, they stick the tops out of the ground, while taking away the nutritional properties of the culturally grown plants.

After a while, the weeds shield them with their shadow, not allowing the planted crops to grow. To avoid this, frequent and systematic treatment of weeds with herbicides, which gives a reliable result for the entire season.

Herbicides are chemicals that have a detrimental effect on the life processes of plants. They are used exclusively from weeds. These funds differ in the specifics of the application, so you need to know which drug is best to use. This article discusses the most common types of herbicides.

"Agrokiller"

"Agrokiller" is a herbicide of continuous action, intended for combating malicious weeds.The drug easily destroys plants that are difficult to exterminate, such as hogweed, creeping, wheat grass, as well as unnecessary growth of trees and shrubs, due to the high concentration of active substances. With the help of Agrokiller, weed treatment is fast.

Did you know? You can even clean the areas that no one has touched for a long time.
It is best to use the drug with the arrival of a warm spring or early summer. At this time in plants, active sap flow, which contributes to the accelerated spread of herbicide through their tissues.

Before sowing lawn grass "Agrokiller" will fit perfectly, since it does not have soil activity.

Important! After 6 hours from the moment of application of the drug on the shoots or leaves, the plant completely absorbs it.
On the 6-7th day, Agrokiller penetrates into other parts of the plant, including the root system. The synthesis of amino acids is destroyed, and the plant dies. Herbicide treatment works at any temperature.

"Antiburyan"

Herbicide "Antiburyan" - It is a systemic drug of continuous action, which is used for the extermination of perennial and annual weeds.It is better to apply it on soils before planting crops or after harvesting. Also, the drug is perfect for non-agricultural land. "Antiburyan" destroys more than 300 species of weeds and has high efficiency.

Did you know? The advantage of the drug is that it does not accumulate in the soil.
The Antiburyan herbicide is one of the most popular herbicides, and its instructions for use are simple: weeds should be treated during the period of active growth, when the plant reaches a height of 15 cm. Temperature conditions should be favorable, the allowable range is from +12 ° C to +25 ° C. Also very important is the lack of rain for 5 hours after spraying the drug.

"Antipire"

Herbicide "Antipire" - It is a post-emergence drug of systemic action, which is used to eliminate perennial and annual weeds. Especially good results are shown on vegetable crops. The surface of the leaves in cereal weed species absorbs the agent, which soon spreads to all parts, including the roots.

The active substance of the herbicide is concentrated at the points of growth,as a result, lipid biosynthesis is blocked, and the plant dies - both its aboveground part and the root system, and the wean re-growth is no longer possible.

Important! The chemical agent against weeds "Antipire" in 30 minutes after spraying will not be washed away by rain.

"Arsenal"

"Arsenal" - It is a continuous action herbicide, effective against the destruction of annual and perennial cereals, trees and shrubs in areas of non-agricultural purposes.

Weather conditions do not affect the effectiveness of the drug. After spraying, leaves and roots absorb the herbicide for one hour.

This poison from continuous weeds can be absorbed not only through the roots and leaves, but also through the soil. As a result, the treatment period increases from early spring to late fall. Arsenal is used once every 2–3 years, since good results are not maintained for one year.

Important! A distinctive feature of this herbicide is that it can destroy plants, even if they are covered with oily substances or a layer of dust.
The herbicide "Arsenal" has the following instructions for use: the spraying tank must be filled with water for перемеш and slowly stirring, add the preparation until the container is full.The finished solution is used immediately after its preparation. Treatment of the site should be carried out with the agitator turned on inside the tank; after completion of work, it should be thoroughly rinsed with water.

"Deimos"

Drug "Deimos" - it is a systemic herbicide that destroys annual and almost all perennial dicotyledonous weeds in areas with cereals. By penetrating the leaves and root system, the herbicide leads to the death of the plant. Deimos has good compatibility with other herbicides in tank mixes. The advantage of this type of herbicide is its high effectiveness against weeds, which are resistant to drugs from other chemical classes.

"Zencore"

Means from weeds "Zenkor" - is a systemic herbicide that effectively fights dicotyledonous and cereal weeds. in areas where they grow tomatoes, potatoes, soybeans and alfalfa. The drug penetrates through the leaves and soil, can destroy the weeds that are just sprouting, as well as those that have already grown. Early processing of the site contributes to the fact that nutrients, sunlight, and water are obtained exclusively by cultivated plants.

Important! The amount of the drug that is needed for weed control depends on the type of soil. For example, for a light one needs only 5.0 g per one hundred square meters, for an average one, up to 10 g, and for a heavy one, up to 15 g.
For potatoes, processing is best done when it has just risen, and weeds are already on the surface of the soil.

"Lapis lazuli"

Herbicides of selective action are also used quite often to get rid of weeds. "Lapis lazuli" - This is a drug intended for weed control. in areas where potatoes are planted. A distinctive feature of "Lazurite" is that it destroys the weeds selectively, without having a negative impact on the potato.

You can process the plot immediately after planting the potato tubers, 10 g of solution per 3 liters of water will suffice for 1 hundred. This herbicide is absorbed mainly by the root system, which allows destroying both vegetative weeds and seedlings in the soil, as well as preventing the emergence of new ones.

Did you know? If the tops of the potato has grown to 5 cm, and the weeds have flooded the entire plot, it is possible to treat with a herbicide.
Weed remedy protects the culture for 1-2 months.

"Lontrel"

Herbicide "Lontrel" - it is a systemic drug of selective action, designed to combat annual and perennial weeds in areas of strawberries and strawberries. The tool is effective against weeds, which is very difficult to eradicate, for example: plantain, dandelion, sorrel, chamomile, cornflowers and others. After spraying, penetrating into the leaves, the herbicide quickly spreads to the growth site and destroys both the aerial parts and the root system, and after a few hours their growth stops.

Within 2.5-4 weeks after treatment, the weeds die completely. Of the features of the herbicide "Lontrel" it can be noted that the tool has high efficiency and does not adversely affect the planted strawberries and strawberries, and does not accumulate in the ground.

"Miura"

"Miura" - it is a herbicide of selective action to fight against annual and perennial cereal post-emergence weeds.

Important! This preparation does not work on dicotyledonous weeds.
After processing, the herbicide rather quickly begins to be absorbed by the leaves. After this, the agent spreads to the stem, roots, and subsequently the plant dies.The first results of spraying can be seen after 7 days, and complete death occurs within 2-3 weeks.

Such preparations from weeds are not absorbed into the soil, which means that they will act only on those weeds that were at the time of processing. If you need to destroy dicotyledonous weeds on the plot, then “Miura” can be mixed together with the herbicide against dicotyledon weeds. The tool is effective both in the early stages of plant development and late, but during the period of active growth, you can achieve the best results.

Roundup

Herbicide "Roundup" - It is a universal preparation of continuous action, intended to fight perennial, annual, cereal and dicotyledonous weeds. This is a very effective tool, widespread in agriculture.

After applying the herbicide to the plant after 6 hours, the leaves and shoots completely absorb the drug, and after 6-7 days it penetrates into the root system and the rest of the weeds. As a result, weed amino acid synthesis is disturbed, and it dies. Roundup, like Tornado, does not act on the soil; when it hits, it loses all its activity, so the drug does not affect seed germination of planted crops.

"Tornado"

"Tornado" - This is a systemic herbicide of continuous action for the removal of annual and perennial weeds. This drug is one of the most common herbicides and is used on agricultural plots, as well as in vineyards. When processing, it first penetrates into the stems and leaves, then spreads to the root system, stops the synthesis of amino acids and completely destroys the plant.

Effective against weeds such as cattail, creeping couch grass, bindweed, creeping grass, pelt and reed. Of the advantages it can be noted that the soil activity is absent, and immediately after treatment, any crop can be sown. The spraying procedure can be carried out at any temperature, as long as the plant retains its viability.

"Tornado BAU"

Herbicide "Tornado BAU" - It is a drug of continuous action, which fights with all types of weeds: annual, perennial, cereal dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous. Herbicides for tillage require the right dosage, which depends on the type of weeds and their development. After spraying, shoots and leaves absorb the drug for 6 hours, then it spreads to the root system and other parts of the weed for 6-7 days, and as a result of an amino acid synthesis violation, the plant dies. Works exclusively on green leaves, inactive in soil, decomposed into natural natural substances.

"Hurricane"

Herbicide "Hurricane" - it is a non-selective drug of systemic action that destroys perennial and annual weeds. Used in agricultural areas intended for planting potatoes, vegetables, vineyards. When it hits the weeds, the "Hurricane" is quickly absorbed through the leaves, spreads to the roots, and in 9-14 days the weeds completely die. Efficiency increases in dry and cold weather conditions. Weeds treated with this herbicide do not grow back.

"Hacker"

"Hacker" - it is a systemic post-emergence herbicide of selective action, it is used for the destruction of certain types of annual and perennial dicotyledonous weeds in areas where beets, cabbage, flax and rape are sown.

The tool is absorbed by the leaves, spreading to the root system. All this happens within 2-3 hours after treatment. After 13-18 hours, you can see the first signs of the action of the drug: deformation and twisting of the leaves and stems.

The period of protective action lasts until the end of the growing season.Processing is best carried out at temperatures from +10 ° C to +25 ° C. If according to forecasts should be freezing, then the procedure is not worth it.

Chistopol

Universal herbicide "Chistopol" - it is a continuous action preparation used to control annual and perennial weeds in areas where cultivated plants will be sown. It is best to process during the growing season of weeds at temperatures from +12 ° C to +30 ° C. Since the root system after spraying dies later, it is necessary to work on the soil no sooner than after 14 days. Herbicide "Chistopol" is effective in the treatment of shrubs and woody vegetation.

Now, when confronted with weeds, you'll be ready to fight back. The use of herbicides in the country will allow you to grow on the site only those plants that you want.
