The principle of operation of the herbicide Lancelot

The active components penetrate into plant tissues through the leaf surface and enter the meristem. There, hormonal synthesis is inhibited, the result is a failure of cell division. Thanks to the combination of two components, Lancelot copes with weeds that are immune to the effects of sulfonylurea and dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, and does not allow the manifestation of resistance.

The herbicidal action is fast. Growth processes stop after a day. And the complete death of weeds is noted after 2 weeks.

After applying the herbicide, strict adherence to crop rotation is required. The following are grown on the treated area:

• cereals, corn - a month later;
• winter and forage grains, winter rape - in the fall of the same season;
• spring cereals, rapeseed, corn - in the spring of the next season;
• potatoes, flax, sunflowers, beets, cabbage, onions - a year later, subject to rainfall from 300 mm;
• forage and food beans, carrots - after 1.5 years.
