Drug benefits

The advantages of the herbicide "Zeus" are:

• A wide range of actions, ranging from ordinary weeds, ending with trees and shrubs.
• The possibility of use in agricultural needs, forests, at their summer cottage, in industrial enterprises, railways and highways, and runways.
• The possibility of use in the form of desiccant to facilitate the mechanical cleaning of sunflower, as well as flax and grain fields.
• Absolute safety means for people and nature.
• High rate of decomposition in the soil.
• No impact on future crops.

Mechanism of action

Upon completion of the treatment, there is an active absorption of the drug by young shoots and leaf plates of weeds for 6 hours. Further, it is actively moving to the root of the plant. During movement, glyphosate produces inhibition of amino acid synthesis, which is a necessary process for the normal existence of the plant.

Method, processing time, consumption

To prepare a special liquid for the treatment of weed vegetation, you must:

1. Remove the top of the cap, which is on the long neck of the bottle.
2. To make repeated pressings on the container, so that there was a filling of that level on the batcher that is necessary for you.
3. The required dose of funds is poured into a container with liquid.

In order to obtain the maximum effect, treatment should not be carried out when there is strong dew on the weeds, precipitation is planned or after them, earlier than in 5 hours. It is also worth waiting out the strong wind, high humidity.

You can not use "Zeus" for the treatment of cultivated plants. Also, it is strongly not recommended to use herbicide in the sanitary zone or near the economic reservoir. Consider the use of the herbicide "Zeus" and its dosage for different plants, find out how to dilute it and in what ratio:

• When processing fruit and berry and citrus plantations, as well as vineyards, when the plot is clogged annuals of cereal monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous weedsduring the growing season of unwanted plants in the spring or summer period (if crop plants are herbicide protected). Concentrate consumption on average 3 liters per 1 ha. When using the prepared solution, an average of 150 liters per 1 ha will be required. The amount of drug in the preparation of the solution should be on average 80 ml per 10 liters of water.
• During the spraying of fruit and berry and citrus plantations, as well as vineyards, to cause damage perennial cereal dicotyledonous weeds it is recommended to apply the agent in the period when unwanted weed vegetation enters the active phase of growth, that is, from May to July (eIf crop plants are herbicide protected). Concentrate for fruit and citrus, on average, 6 liters per hectare, and vineyards - 4 liters per hectare. When using a working fluid, an average of 150 liters per hectare will be required. The amount of herbicide - 120 ml per 10 liters of water.
• For the processing of fields where it is planned to plant sugar beets and corn, in the fight against perennials and annuals of weed plants, all processing actions are carried out 15 days before sowing the selected crop. The average consumption of concentrated funds is within 3.5 liters per hectare. Using diluted concentrate costs will be about 150 L / ha. The amount of drug for processing - 80 ml per 10 l of water.

• When tillage, 5 days before the first shoots are expected to appear potato should be used 2.5 liters per hectare concentrated funds that are diluted in advance in water. Its average consumption will be 150 liters per 1 ha. Average amount of concentrate - 100 ml per 10 liters of water.
• Plantations that are planned to be planted with sunflower, soybeans and cabbage, against the same age, perennial dicotyledonous and cereal weeds must be processed 7 days before the selected crop is planted or planted. Consumption of concentrated funds on average is 2.5 liters per hectare. The consumption of the finished diluted concentrate is on average 150 liters per 1 ha. Amount of drug to use - 80 ml per 10 l of water.
• On fields that are intended for sowing flax, it is possible to carry out spraying works against creeping grass. Consumption of concentrated herbicide is on average within 3 liters per hectare. It is necessary to spray the area at the end of the summer or in the spring, on the stubble of the predecessor. The amount of working solution that is necessary for the treatment of 1 ha is 150 liters. The amount of herbicide - 80 ml per 10 l of water.

• For processing fields for planting and sowing grain, vegetables, legumes, oilseeds, industrial crops from annual cereal and dicotyledonous weeds, perennial cereal and persistent perennial weeds. It is necessary to carry out processing after cleaning of fields in the autumn period. The average consumption of concentrated funds in this case is 6 liters per hectare plantings. Consumption of the finished product is in the range of 150 liters per 1 ha. The amount of herbicide - 100 ml per 10 liters of water.
• If planting of grasses-perennial grasses is planned, then processing is carried out 3 weeks before sowing seeds in the spring, from perennial and annual cereal and dicotyledonous weeds. The average consumption of funds is 6 liters per hectare. The average consumption of the finished solution is 150 liters per hectare. Amount of preparation - 80 ml per 10 l of water.
• When processing fields for alfalfa against the dodder of a thin stem, it is necessary to spray 15 days after alfalfa cutting. The average consumption of concentrated funds is 550 ml per 1 ha. The average consumption of the finished product is within 150 liters per hectare. The amount of herbicide - 70 ml per 10 l of water.
• During the processing of non-agricultural land from annual cereal and dicotyledonous weeds, as well as perennial cereal weeds, it is necessary to use a herbicide during the period of active growth of weed vegetation. The average concentrate consumption is 4.5 liters per hectare. The average consumption of the finished product is 150 liters per 1 ha. Amount of preparation - 100 ml per 10 liters of water.

Impact speed

The first signs of weed damage are chlorotic manifestations on the deciduous part, which can be seen the next day after spraying.
