All herbicides that are on the market have a selective or continuous effect. Selective or selective options are always used to control weeds in crops and plantings of various crops.
Today we will discuss what Lornet is, how this selective herbicide is different, and also briefly describe the instructions, the consumption rate and other important points.

Active ingredient and release form
Herbicide is produced exclusively in the form of an aqueous solution for better solubility in the preparation of the working fluid. The main substance is clopyralid. In 1 liter of solution contains 30% clopyralid.
Suppressed Weed Spectrum
Herbicide has an extensive spectrum of action. It is used for the destruction of annual dicotyledonous weeds, as well as perennial corneous.
"Lornet" destroys the following weeds: all variations of chamomile, mountaineer, thistle, thistle, lettuce. Also applicable for the destruction of sorrel, nightshade, ambrosia, wheat grass and dandelion.
Drug benefits
- The drug does not poison the soil or cultivated plants, so that you get the expected effect without degrading the quality of the finished product.
- It acts quickly on weeds, the effect is noticeable after a few days.
- Destroys not only the green part, but also the rhizomes of weeds.
- Gives a lasting effect.
- Well complements other herbicides that are applicable to crops planted on the site.
- Does not have phytotoxicity.
Mechanism of action
The drug in terms of the mechanism of action is similar to the herbicide "Esteron". The active ingredient, entering the plants through the leaves, stems and root system, acts as a "wrong" growth stimulator, replacing the natural hormone auxin.
As a result, the growth and development of the plant is disturbed at the cellular level, meristematic tissues are blocked, and weeds simply cannot recreate dying tissues and slowly die.
When and how to spray
Let's start with the weather and temperature conditions that are necessary for maximum efficiency of the herbicide. The ambient temperature must be between + 10 ° C and + 20 ° C. Also, there should be no wind or its speed should be minimal, otherwise in the process of processing neighboring areas may be affected and you will cause serious losses to yourself or another owner.
Windy weather can carry droplets of substance over considerable distances, which can lead to the poisoning of livestock or people.
Now consider the processing of each culture and the rate of spraying "Lornet".
Wheat, barley, oats. These cereals need to be processed from 160 to 660 ml of "Lornet" for 1 hectare. This variation is due to the varying density of unwanted vegetation, as well as the spraying system. Handled in the period of tillering. It is used no more than 1 time.
Corn. Spray 1 l per hectare. Processing should be carried out only after harvest. The multiplicity of application is identical to the above options.
Rape. Use 300-400 ml of substance per hectare. Spray need to buds in winter rapeseed or in the phase of 3-4 true leaves in spring.
Impact speed
The herbicide begins to act within a few hours after spraying. The visible effect appears on day 5-6, and the full withering of weeds can be observed after 2 weeks.
Period of protective action
"Lornet" is valid during the growing season, the next year after planting, the treatment must be repeated. It is worth noting that weeds will not be able to "get used" to the herbicide, as it works at the hormonal level. No need to annually change the herbicide to the efficiency remained at the same level.
Toxicity and precautions
Herbicide has 3 hazard class for both humans and animals, fish and honey insects. For this reason, be sure to notify the owner of the apiary a few days before processing the site.
When spraying a herbicide without using mechanized equipment, it is necessary to use a protective suit, goggles and a respirator. If spraying is done with a tractor, then the cabin must have clean drinking water and a first aid kit.
If the product comes into contact with the skin, mucous membranes or the digestive system, it is necessary to immediately stop work and provide first aid to the injured or call an ambulance.
Compatibility with other drugs
The drug can be mixed with other pesticides that are designed to destroy dicotyledonous weeds. You can mix with drugs, where the active ingredient is phenmedifam, etofumezat, metametron and similar ones.
Term and storage conditions
"Lornet" can be stored for 3 years at a temperature of from -25 ° C to + 25 ° C in the reach of children and animals, away from feed and combustible materials. Store in the original not damaged packaging.
We described the selective Lornet herbicide, which helps to get rid of dicotyledonous weeds, also briefly discussed the instructions for use and the possible danger to living organisms. When spraying working fluid, be sure to use protective equipment, otherwise the chemical may cause serious disturbances in the body.
Use the drug with caution near the lakes so as not to poison the aquatic inhabitants.
