Active ingredients and preparative form
The active (active) component of the drug "Pivot" is imamatapir. The content of imazetapir in the chemical is 100 g / l. "Pivot" belongs to the chemical group of Imidazolinones. In addition, the chemical is among the inorganic herbicides.

The scope of use of the drug "Pivot" is agrarian production. The high-quality and effective composition serves as an excellent tool for the protection of agricultural plantings against one-year dicotyledonous and perennial grass weeds, including varieties of ambrosia and quarantine weeds. "Pivot" is used on crops of leguminous crops (soybeans, beans, lentils, peas, chickpeas, lupins, alfalfa, and others). A single treatment is enough to eliminate harmful objects throughout the growth phase (vegetation) of peas and soybeans.
Suppressed Weed Spectrum
"Pivot" is effective against the extreme a wide range of weeds on soybean and legumes.

The following are the most significant advantages and advantages of the drug "Pivot" in comparison with other analogues:
- suppresses the maximum number of annual, perennial and quarantine weeds;
- a one-time application of funds entirely resolves the issue of weed control throughout the entire growth phase of the culture;
- convenient and economical to use;
- quite effective even when using the minimum dose;
- the preparation is applied both before sowing peas and soybeans, as well as directly during the vegetation phase of these plants;
- the herbicide begins to act after an hour after application;
- the tool does not evaporate, so that with different methods of using its consumption is negligible;
- highly effective when applied by all existing methods.
Operating principle
"Pivot" is a systemic herbicide of selective action. When it hits the above-ground parts (leaves, stems) and the root system of weeds, the herbicide moves along the conducting mechanism and penetrates into the growth zones. The signs of the action of the agent are chlorosis of young foliage, necrosis of growth points, manifestation of dwarfism, arrest of development and gradual dying off of weeds. 
The ideal environment for the use of the chemical "Pivot" are warm weather conditions (optimum humidity of the earthand air). The minimum effective temperature is +5 ° С, and the maximum temperature is +25 ° С. However, the ideal temperature indicator is considered an average value - from + 10 ° C to + 20 ° C. In addition, high-quality soil harrowing allows to increase the effectiveness of the herbicide.
Processing technology
Consider the technology of introducing the herbicide "Pivot", as well as the consumption rate for soybean, lupine and alfalfa.
- Soy. The consumption rate should be 0.5-0.8 l / ha. Spray the soil before sowing (with embedment). It is also practiced to introduce a protective agent on crops in the vegetative phase - before the emergence of two trifoliate leaves of a vegetable culture. When reseeding, in the year of processing it is desirable to sow winter wheat; in a year, spring and winter cereals, as well as corn, are allowed to be sown; after 2 years, you can sow all without limiting the culture.
- Lupine (seed crops). The consumption rate is 0.4-0.5 l / ha. Make processing of crops in the stage of 3-5 true leaves of culture.
- Alfalfa. The consumption rate of funds is 1.0 l / ha. Spray crops 7-10 days after the first cut.
Impact speed
Herbicide "Pivot" demonstrates active herbicidal activity and strong aftereffect. Immediately after harvesting and carrying out a deep harrowing of the soil on the herbicide-treated field, you can sow lupine, clover, peas, beans, lentils, chickpeas and other legumes. One and a half years after the introduction of the drug, you can plant vegetables, oats, potatoes, sunflower and annual herbs. And two years after the treatment, the planting of rapeseed, as well as fodder and sugar beet, is permitted.
In the first few days after spraying, you may not see obvious signs of the action of the agent. However, weed growth is slowed down several hours after the chemical has been applied. The full dying off of a weed grass comes 3-5 weeks later after spraying by "Pivot". 
Compatibility with other pesticides
Before using "Pivot" at the same time with other herbicides, you first need to make sure that the products are compatible.Therefore, we dwell briefly on the question of with what the pivot herbicide is usually mixed.
Against overgrown (more than 6 leaves) and moderately sensitive varieties of weeds, it is desirable to apply the herbicide together with surfactants or with mineral oils. This measure helps to increase the effectiveness of the chemical.
Toxicity
In the doses recommended for spraying, no toxic effect (phytotoxicity) on the crops was detected.
Chemical "Pivot" refers to the 3rd class of danger for mammals. It is also classified as a herbicide of low risk to bees (3rd class of toxicity). There are no restrictions on the use of funds in the sanitary zone, around the fishery bodies of water.
Term and storage conditions
To ensure ideal storage conditions, it is recommended to keep the herbicide in a room specially designed for such preparations (any dry and dark room will do). The minimum storage temperature is +5 ° C, and the maximum - +25 ° C.Humidity in the room where the herbicide is contained should not exceed or fall below 1%. 
Store the chemical in its original packaging. The shelf life of "Pivot" is 36 months.
