• stays in the soil, stopping the development of young weeds;
• protects the treated area from contamination throughout the year;
• not washed off by rain;
• has an average toxicity in relation to humans, bees.

The aqueous solution works effectively at any stage of plant development, regardless of their pollution.

The disadvantages of the drug include the fact that it can destroy cultural crops located near the processing site.

Mechanism and speed of action

The action of the active substance imazapyr begins with a stop in the growth of grasses and bushes on the treated area 7 days after spraying. After 30-45 days, everything that grew on the field dies. Therefore, spraying of herbicide is used to cleanse areas overgrown with weeds, bushes near highways, railway tracks, and runways. With the help of an aqueous solution, areas for the construction of houses, gas pipelines, power lines are freed from weeds. Rapeseed and sunflower fields can be treated with this herbicide when drug-resistant hybrids are planted.
