Instructions for the use of the herbicide Agrokiller against garden weeds

Weeds are serious enemies of flower beds, orchards and vegetable gardens. A wide range of measures have been developed to combat them, differing in effectiveness, purpose and principle of action. Effective and reliable is "Agrokiller" against garden weeds. Let's consider what composition is characteristic of this universal remedy, on what principle it acts, and also what advantages it has over other similar drugs.

Composition, purpose and release form of the drug "Agrokiller"

The universal herbicide "Agrokiller" is produced in the form of an aqueous solution, packaged in bottles with a capacity of 40, 90 and 500 milliliters (for amateur gardeners), as well as 1 and 5 liters (for owners of large-scale farms).

The active ingredient of the drug is the isopropylamine salt of glyphosate, a derivative of the amino acid glycine. It is a popular herbicide designed to kill various types of weeds in both small and large areas. Agrokiller is suitable for use in overgrown areas that have been abandoned for a long time.

The drug is effective in the fight against the following types of weeds:

• hogweed;

• sow thistle;
• horse sorrel;
• nettle;
• dandelion;
• burdock;
• sagebrush;
• buttercup;
• plantain.

The principle of action on weeds

The Agrokiller herbicide works according to the following principle:

1. Falls on the green part of the weed.
2. Absorbed.
3. It spreads independently through the plant organism to the roots.

The substances of the preparation are absorbed within 6-8 hours. As a result of a violation of the synthesis of amino acids, the vital activity of a weed plant stops.

Advantages over analogues

The Agrokiller tool from the Russian company August has a number of positive properties that distinguish it favorably from its competitors:

1. Due to the high concentration of the active substance, it is possible to remove weeds from fields, vegetable gardens and summer cottages, which are most difficult to exterminate.

Consumption rate for different plants

For the destruction of annual and perennial weeds on the site, a different dosage is used.

In the first case, 30-40 ml of the drug must be diluted in three liters of water.

In the second, a concentrated solution is needed, so at least 50 milliliters of Agrokiller is diluted in the same volume of water.

The indicated dosages are used for the treatment of land plots with an area of ​​about one hundred square meters.

How to prepare a working solution

To prepare a working herbicide solution, it is necessary to dilute from 30 to 50 ml of Agrokiller (depending on the type and nature of weeds) in 3 liters of water.

You should immediately use the entire volume of the prepared product, since the solution is not subject to long-term storage.

Garden processing

According to the instructions for use of the drug "Agrokiller", to clear the site from weeds, you must choose a quiet and calm weather without wind and precipitation. The most favorable time for the procedure is morning or evening. Heat and bright sunlight reduce the herbicidal effect. Also, the effect will be less pronounced if it rains shortly after treatment - especially within 5-6 hours.

It is recommended to use the Agrokiller herbicide two weeks before the start of planting and sowing operations. During this period of time, all existing weeds will weaken and die.

It is necessary to spray only the aerial part of the weed plant. To the rest of its parts, the herbicidal agent will penetrate on its own. This procedure should be carried out in the phase of active growth, that is, before flowering and seed formation.

Since the drug does not have an instant, but a gradual effect on weeds, it is undesirable to loosen the soil and weed weeds during the first week after treatment. The result of the application will be noticeable in at least a week.
