"Ovsyugen Express": characteristics of the herbicide, how to use

Herbicides are widely used in weed control on plantings and crops. They are continuous and selective action, namely the latter are used in agriculture. "Ovsyugen Express" - one of the safest means to combat dicotyledonous weeds. Due to its low toxicity, it does not harm the environment and its inhabitants, which made it popular among farmers.

Spectrum of action

"Ovsyugen Express" It is effective not only against oats, it is a broad-spectrum herbicide that effectively fights with all dicotyledonous cereal weeds: oats, chicken millet, metlyug ordinary, millet semi-flowering, meadow bluegrass, etc.

Drug benefits

The drug has several advantages among them:

• Selectivity The drug affects only weed tissue and does not harm cultivated plants even in case of overdosing.
• Non-toxic to humans, bees and animals. Slightly toxic to birds.
• It does not accumulate in the soil and in plant tissues, it is completely decomposed into components.
• It affects the weeds at different stages of the growing season, starting from the two-leaf phase.
• Available in the form of an emulsion, which is very convenient to use.

Active ingredient and preparative form

"Ovsyugen Express" refers to systemic herbicides. The peculiarity of systemic anti-grass herbicides is in the mechanism of action, the essence of which lies in the disturbance of plant metabolic processes: biochemical reactions and physiological processes. This principle of operation is one of the most effective, since it immediately stops the growth of the plant and blocks the mechanisms of recovery.

The active ingredient of the drug fenoxaprop-P-ethyl - selective herbicide overwhelming synthesis of essential amino acids. Means gets inside a weed, being absorbed through leaves and a stalk. Then it breaks down into metabolites, one of which, fenoxprop acid, directly reacts to inhibit the synthesis of fatty acids. As a result, the reaction is disturbed, and cell division in the zones of weed growth soon stops, which leads to its death.

"Ovsyugen Express" produced in the form of an oil, water emulsion or emulsion concentrate. Usually these are canisters with a capacity of 5 and 10 liters.

When and how is the treatment and application rates carried out

For maximum effect Ovsyugen treatment is carried out after the majority of the weeds have risen. Since the drug does not accumulate in the soil, its effect extends only to ascended plants, and if you hurry, you may need to re-process.

The consumption rate per 1 ha is from 300 to 400 l of the working solution, depending on the degree of weed infection. The working solution is a mixture of the concentrated Ovsyugen Express emulsion and water, which is prepared at the rate of 0.01 part of the preparation for 1 part of water.So, 400 hectares of emulsion will be required for processing one hectare of winter wheat, and 200–300 g for processing 1 hectare of spring wheat.

The treatment is carried out early in the morning or in the evening, when sun activity decreases. Despite the fact that the active substance of the herbicide fenoxaprop-P-ethyl is stable at an air temperature of 50 ° C, in a spray form under active UV radiation, it can turn into toxic fumes that are dangerous to humans and animals. The weather should be dry and windless.

Impact speed and period of protective action

After treatment, the first damage on the weeds can be seen already after 3-5 days, and complete death occurs in 12-15 days. Herbicide has no prolonged action and does not harm the seeds of grass weeds. That is, in the fight against the second wave of weeds, if there is one, the previous treatment will not help.

The half-life of the active substance is 3 weeks in acidic soils and 7-10 weeks in alkaline or neutral.

Hazard Class and Precautions

"Ovsyugen" assigned 3rd class of danger to humans - moderately dangerous.

• Lethal dose in contact with the skin and mucous membranes - 500-2500 mg / kg.
• The lethal dose in the stomach - 150-5000 mg / kg.
• The lethal concentration in the air is 10 mg per cubic meter.

Symptoms of herbicide poisoning:

• On the part of the gastrointestinal tract: the defeat of the upper part of the stomach, nausea, vomiting, abnormal liver function.
• From the side of the central nervous system: headache, impaired coordination, clouding of consciousness, coma.
• On the part of the respiratory tract: respiratory failure, pulmonary edema and fibrosis.

In working with chemicals, the following are the safety measures:

1. Changeable clothes. Take care of a suit that you will use only when working with chemicals: these clothes can not be washed or stored with everyday wear. Classic uniforms when working with poisons dispensers: headgear,vacuum glasses, a dense gauze bandage on the respiratory organs, outerwear made of coarse fabric with long sleeves and pants, a rubber apron or of a material similar in properties.
2. Check the condition of the sprayer using water.
3. Spray in the morning or evening, provided there is no rain and wind.
4. Do not eat, drink, smoke during processing.
5. Make sure that during the processing on your site and adjacent areas there are no people.
6. If the herbicide is likely to fall on vegetables or fruits - do not eat them for the next 3 days, then thoroughly rinse under running water before use.
7. Herbicides should not be handled in children, pregnant or lactating women, people who are hypersensitive to components or diseases of the respiratory tract.
8. After treatment, neutralize the sprayer tank with a 5% solution of washing soda or a pulp of wood resin. To neutralize the residues of the herbicide, the container should be filled with soda solution for 3-6 hours, and ashes from the pulp - 12-24 hours.

Compatibility with other pesticides

Ovsyugen Express is compatible with sulfonylurea, phenoxyacid and clopyralid herbicides according to the instructions for use. But in any case, it is recommended to test for physical and chemical compatibility with each specific drug.

Shelf life and storage conditions

The shelf life of "Ovsugen" is 3 years from date of manufacture. Depressurization of the canister does not affect storage conditions and shelf life.

The pesticide should be stored in the same way as other pesticides of the 3rd class:

• The preparation cannot be stored together with food, household items and in premises.
• The temperature in the storage room should not fall below zero and rise above 50 ° C. Left in the cold, the tool loses its properties.
• It is necessary to store in the original container or in a similar container.

Speaking of arguments in favor of the choice of drug, can be called the following:

• "Ovsyugen" - a highly effective concentrated drug of systemic action, safe for crops, humans, animals and bees.
• Convenient to store and use, very economical consumed: cans of 5 liters is enough to handle 11 hectares.

Of the minuses can be called quite high price at about 108 y. e. for 5 liters. The tool has cheaper analogues with the same active ingredient ("Furex", "Tarzan", "Tigran"), but the consumption of these drugs in the same area of ​​fields more than about 2 times.
