Weeds complicate the lives of all gardeners and agricultural workers. Therefore, special preparations have been developed for the destruction of weeds, which have a common name – herbicides. One of the popular universal remedies is Agrokiller. This is the most effective drug that is used as a continuous herbicide.
The fields are treated with Agrokiller before sowing or before the first shoots appear, that is, immediately after sowing cultivated plants. Agrokiller from weeds affects only young shoots and leaves. It does not penetrate the soil. The article will discuss how this weed killer works and how to use it correctly.
Operating principle
The active substance glyphosphate enters the weed plant through the stem and leaves. Herbicide Agrokiller spreads evenly over the weed, affecting the vegetative mass and root system.
Provided that the proportions of the agrokiller, which are stated in the instructions for use, are maintained, the agent will not worsen the condition of the soil and the environmental characteristics of the site. For human health, the composition is moderately dangerous. It is not among the drugs that are acutely toxic to honey plants. The optimal tool for the development of virgin lands or preparing the lawn for sowing.
Agrokiller is suitable for the destruction of the following types of weeds:
- Nettle.
- Series.
- Knapweed.
- Dandelion.
- Plantain.
- Elemental Jerusalem artichoke.
- Sow thistle.
- Thistle.
- Sleep.
- Buttercup.
- Sorghum.
- Shepherd’s bag.
- Wormwood and others.
Benefits of using Agrokiller
Each remedy has its own characteristics that distinguish it from other similar drugs. So, many gardeners and farmers prefer to use Agrokiller for a number of reasons:
- The use of the drug allows you to remove hard-to-kill weeds from the garden / field. This is possible due to the high concentration in the composition of the active substance.
- After the interaction of plants with the preparation, the green mass and roots completely die off.
- A wide temperature range that allows soil treatment.
- Due to the absence of soil activity, the drug does not affect crops, which allows the field to be cultivated immediately before sowing.
Instructions for use
The ideal time to use the herbicide is 2 weeks prior to planting and planting. This period of time is enough for the death of weeds. After 14 days after processing the field, you can start sowing and planting cultivated plants.
Preparation of the solution
To destroy ordinary weeds, dilute 30–40 ml of Agrokiller in 3 liters of water. With such a dosage, it is not possible to destroy malicious weeds, so for them you need to make a more concentrated solution – 40-50 ml per 3 liters of water. This amount of liquid can handle 100 m2 field.
The composition must be sprayed on the green part of the weeds. All work should be carried out in the morning / evening in calm weather. If the drug dries quickly under the rays of the scorching sun, the effect will be less noticeable. The period of absorption of Agrokiller into plants is 5-6 hours. If it rains during this time, then part of the solution will be washed off and the effect of the product will no longer be as effective as indicated in the product description.
Agrokiller is produced in containers with a capacity of 40, 90 and 500 ml. This displacement is enough for amateur gardeners. For the destruction of weeds in large farms, containers of a larger capacity are needed, so 1 and 5 liters of solution can be purchased on the market.
Reviews of people who used Agrokiller testify to the high effectiveness of the drug. It can be used to remove weeds that have a well-developed root system, as a result of which it is impossible or almost impossible to remove them mechanically. If you follow the instructions for preparing the solution, you can get rid of all types of weeds in 1 treatment.
