Composition and release form of the drug
Dual Gold is the savior of cultivated plants from most weeds in the early stages of development. High efficiency is due to the presence in its composition of a mixture of four optical and geometric isomers of C-metolachlor.
The drug comes on sale in the form of a highly concentrated emulsion, unpacked in plastic canisters of various displacement.
Benefits of the tool
Pre-emergence "Dual Gold" allows you to get rid of most monocotyledonous and some dicotyledonous weeds and has a number of advantages over analogues:
- used for spraying many types of crops;
- equally effective when processing crops before and after germination;
- economical to use;
- effectively protects crops during the germination period, when competition for nutrients negatively affects their growth and development;
- low degree of volatility of the substance ensures high-quality processing;
- the long period of action guarantees long-term protection and ensures the cleanliness of crops for a period of up to eight weeks, and also prevents the re-growth of weeds;
- by the end of the growing season, the decomposition of the active substance occurs;
- phytotoxicity of the drug is not observed even with its overdose.
"Dual Gold" fully copes with the assigned functions and effectively fights against weeds.
The mechanism of action of the herbicide "Dual Gold"
Weed vegetation is especially dangerous for young seedlings. During this period, there is a real struggle between plants for lighting, water and nutrients. If nothing is done, the weeds will be the winners. At the same time, cultivated plants grow stunted and unviable or die completely.
There is no way to do without the use of herbicides, especially when it comes to large areas of crops and manual weeding is physically impossible.
After spraying, the herbicide begins its active action, however, the mechanism of action on dicotyledonous and cereals is different.The absorption of the herbicide by dicotyledonous weeds occurs with the help of the cotyledons. Cereals absorb it through the cleoptile. As a result of penetration, the drug causes a delay in the biosynthesis of fatty acids, lipids and protein. Cell division is impaired. The weed stops growing and then dies.
Instructions for the use of the herbicide
"Dual Gold" is an effective tool for reliable protection of cultivated plants from weeds and yield control. Used in many crops.

Impact rate and period of protective action
After exposure to the drug, weeds die at the time of germination and appearance on the surface. The applied herbicide reliably protects crops from weeds for eight weeks. However, further problems with weeds also do not arise. The second wave of their growth is excluded, and cultivated plants will be protected until the end of the growing season.
By the end of the growing season, "Dual Gold" is almost completely decomposed. Thanks to this property, there are no restrictions when planning crop rotation and selecting the next crop for sowing.
Working solution preparation rules
Compliance with the consumption rates when preparing a working solution for the treatment of various crops is of great importance. Strict compliance with the recommended standards allows you to defeat weeds and achieve good yields. A weak solution with insufficient herbicide will significantly impair the spray results.
To prepare the working solution, the sprayer is not completely filled with water. Then the required amount of the drug is poured in. Mix everything thoroughly, achieving an equal consistency of the solution. Then add water to the required volume and mix the solution well again.
Poor-quality mixing is fraught with unpleasant consequences: the treatment of the site will be uneven, in some places live and healthy weeds may remain.
Safety measures when working with the tool
While working with the drug, protective equipment is used: a respirator, goggles and overalls. Avoid contact with exposed skin. If contact occurs, wash thoroughly with plenty of water and soap.
Toxicity
The drug is prohibited for use in the sanitary zone around stocked reservoirs and has a 24-hour bee flight limit. After processing, it is prohibited to rinse equipment and discharge waste near water bodies.
Compatibility with other drugs
To increase the efficiency of treatment, Dual Gold is often combined with herbicides that affect other types of weeds.
Storage term and conditions
"Dual Gold" is stored within the limits of permissible temperatures: from -5 to +35 ° C, using dark rooms. When packed, it does not lose its properties for three years.
Are there any analogues?
If desired, analogs of the herbicide "Dual" can be used to treat crops. They work in a similar way and are composed of C-metolachlor. These include:
- "Vanguard";
- "Anaconda";
- Difeline.
The use of "Dual Gold" allows you to effectively grow various crops in large areas, not to be afraid of weeds and achieve good yields.
