Instructions for the use of the herbicide Biceps Garant, consumption rates and analogues

The volume of the harvest of vegetable and grain crops in large agricultural enterprises largely depends on how clean the fields with crops are from weeds. For the processing of beets and buckwheat, the herbicide "Biceps Garant" is successfully applied. Due to its multicomponent composition, it successfully fights more than 40 types of weeds. It is necessary to know the features of the pesticide and the rules for its use so that the action is effective and the harm is minimal.

Composition, release form and purpose of the drug "Biceps Garant"

Herbicide "Biceps Garant" is intended for the extermination of dicotyledonous weeds of the annual cycle and cereals on crops of all types of beets and buckwheat. Substances that have the main inhibitory effect on weeds include:

• desmedipham is a narrow selective herbicide, its quantity in "Biceps Garant" is 70 grams per liter;
• etofumezate - contact drug, 110 grams per liter;

Principle, speed and symptoms of exposure

The herbicide "Biceps Garant" has translaminar properties. It is able to penetrate into the plant, but it does not spread through its vascular system. As a result of penetration into the leaf plate, tissue damage occurs, the growth and division of cells stops, and the wax layer ceases to form.

The speed of action is influenced by soil moisture and the content of organic matter in it. The drier and more fertile it is, the less active the herbicide is.

After spraying, the first visible signs of the action of the pesticide appear after 3-7 days. First, the weeds brighten, their growth stops. After 2-3 weeks, they dry completely and die. The greatest effect from the herbicide "Biceps Garant" is observed at temperatures from 10 ⁰C to 25 ⁰C.

Protective period

Crop protection continues from the time of pesticide treatment until the emergence of new weeds.

It is worth remembering that spraying during or after frost, in drought or when plants are severely weakened, damaged by insects, should not be carried out. Processing during this period is ineffective.

The advantages of the herbicide "Biceps Garant" include:

• effective removal of weeds in crops thanks to three active ingredients;

A special area must be used for liquid preparation and filling. After work, it is disinfected.

How to use the ready-made mixture correctly

The ready-made solution is used in an amount of 200 liters per hectare for any of the treatments:

• single - in the phase of four beet leaves;
• double - at the stage of 2-4 leaves of weeds with an interval of two weeks;
• threefold - in the phase of cotyledonous leaves of weeds, and then - after 1-2 weeks.

Crops should not be sprayed less than 6 hours before precipitation or heavy dew. It is not recommended to carry out the procedure under other unfavorable conditions - drought, heat, frost.
