Composition, purpose and form of drug release
"Heeler" refers to a group of post-emergence herbicides that act systemically. It is used to clear perennial or annual weeds from a garden plot or vegetable garden. The product is sold in the form of an emulsion concentrate, which is made from tefuril.
Main pros and cons
"Healer", like many other herbicidal preparations, has many disadvantages and advantages, which must be familiarized with before processing the site. The advantages of the herbicide include:
- a high level of efficiency even with a low concentration of the active substance;
- helps to cope with any weeds;
- is resistant to washing off.
The main disadvantage of this herbicidal composition is its high cost.
The mechanism of action of the weed control
Before using Healer, you need to understand how it affects the sprayed plants. The herbicide components penetrate the weeds immediately after treatment. First, they enter the root system, after which they accumulate in foliage and stems. The drug takes effect within 20-25 minutes after treatment. In weeds, cell division stops, because of which it stops growing and begins to dry.
Consumption rates for various plants
The amount of drug consumption depends on which plants are grown on the site:
- Vegetable crops. Most often vegetable plants are grown in vegetable gardens. To protect them from weeds, you need to use about 350 milliliters of the working mixture.
- Cereals. To protect your crops from weeds, you will have to use more liquid. In this case, the amount of the required working fluid is doubled.
Preparation and use of working solution
The instructions for its use will help to understand the peculiarities of using the tool.
It is necessary to prepare the working mixture immediately before using it.First, the tank is three-quarters filled with simple water, after which the herbicide is added to the container. The solution is stirred, then another 1-2 liters of water is added to it.
The site is sprayed with working fluid in the evening or sutra so that there is no strong wind. Processing is carried out 1-2 times per season.
Precautions for use
Before using the Healer, you should be familiar with the basic precautions. It is necessary to use the herbicide with protective gloves so that the working mixture does not get on the skin of the hands. It is also necessary to protect your eyes, as the ingress of the product can provoke burns. To do this, wear special construction gloves that fit tightly to the skin surface.
Toxicity "Heeler"
The herbicide is of low toxicity, however, despite this, it is dangerous for some plants. For example, it is impossible for the agent to get on plants that are weakened due to exposure to low temperatures. For bees, insects and humans, "Healer" is not dangerous.
Compatibility with other pesticides
Experts advise using the herbicide in tank mixes together with other products that are designed to control grown weeds. Also, the drug is fully compatible with insecticidal agents that are used to destroy dangerous pests.
Shelf life and storage conditions
It is necessary to store "Healer" in suitable conditions, since only in this case it will not deteriorate quickly. For storage of the herbicidal agent, cool rooms are suitable, in which the temperature rarely exceeds ten degrees Celsius.
The working solution is not intended for storage and therefore it is used immediately after preparation.
