Instructions for the use of herbicide Merlin, consumption rates and preparation of the working mixture

It rarely happens that when growing crops you do not have to deal with an invasion of insects or with various diseases. In order to cope with these problems as quickly as possible, while the diseases have not destroyed all plantings on the site, you can use the herbicide "Merlin".

Composition, preparative form of the drug "Merlin"

The herbicide contains the substance isoxaflutole. 1 kg of a chemical contains approximately 750 g of this substance. The drug "Merlin" is produced in the form of water-soluble granules for soil treatment.

What weeds is effective against

The main advantage of the chemical "Merlin" is that it can be used to combat almost all weeds that are most often found on the site.

What weeds is effective against:

• ambrosia;
• sagebrush;
• isop;
• wood lice;
• field radish;
• amaranth;
• mildew;
• rod-shaped millet;
• all varieties of jarbei;
• all types of quinoa;
• field mustard;
• Avicenna's cable car;
• wild rue;
• shepherd's handbag;
• slynik;
• lenticular sunflower.

Even if the site is heavily overgrown with weeds of various types, the drug "Merlin" can easily cope with them.

How does it work on weeds

The drug belongs to pre-emergence chemicals, which means that the treatment is carried out before seedlings begin to appear on the site. The herbicide enters the weeds mainly through the root system and leaves. Moving through plant tissues, the substance blocks cell synthesis. Thanks to this, the growth of weeds stops, and gradually they die. At first, the foliage and stems acquire a colorless hue, and then completely die. This is because the chemicals in the chemical interfere with carotenoid production.

The effectiveness of the drug will be higher with high soil moisture content. The active substance penetrates with water into plant tissues, entering through the root system. Combining with water, isoxaflutol forms diketonitrile, which helps to destroy weeds.

Time of protective action

The chemical has a long-lasting protective effect. The protection period after processing is up to 2.5 months. During this time, old weeds die after treatment, and new ones do not start growing. In 2.5 months, agricultural crops have time to grow, and if weeds begin to appear, then the grown plants are no longer afraid of them.

Consumption rate

The chemical consumption rate depends primarily on how well the soil is saturated with organic matter. If the soil is poorly saturated, then 100 to 120 g / ha is used on light soils and from 120 to 140 on heavy soils.

If the soil is well saturated with organic matter, then on light soil, 120 to 140 g / ha on light soil and from 140 to 160 g / ha on heavy soil are used.

Working mixture preparation

To prepare the solution, you need to take a large container, which in the future will be intended only for such purposes. Fill it with clean water, add granules. Stir constantly and dilute the solution until the granules are completely dissolved in water. During processing, the liquid should be constantly stirred so that it does not begin to delaminate. If a solution remains after processing, it cannot be stored. You have to pour it out.

Also, after processing, you should thoroughly rinse the spray bottle. If even a small part of the solution remains inside it, then if it is reused, it can cause significant damage to the plants.

How to use the ready-made solution correctly

Before proceeding with the treatment of the beds, you need to study the instructions for use. Spraying is best done early in the morning before sunrise or late in the evening, when the sun's rays are no longer as active. The main thing is that there is no strong wind on the day of processing. Due to the wind, the solution may be sprayed in different directions and there will be no effect. It is also undesirable to carry out the procedure if, according to the weather forecast, heavy or prolonged rains are expected in the coming days.

Before processing, the soil is thoroughly plowed, then the soil must be plowed through and once again walked with a cultivator. The chemical will be effective in well-plowed soil. In order for the herbicide not to come into contact with the corn seeds, it is necessary to plant them at a depth of at least 7 cm. The treatment is carried out immediately after sowing. During spraying, you need to make sure that the solution is constantly mixed. Stratification and division of the solution into fractions must not be allowed. If this does happen, the effectiveness of the drug will be much lower.

If the corn has not grown well, the next year only corn can be planted in this area. Other crops on the treated area can be sown no earlier than two years later.

Safety rules when working with the tool

It is recommended to treat agricultural plants with the "Merlin" preparation in warm and calm weather. In strong winds, the solution will be sprayed in different directions and can get on the mucous membranes. It is also undesirable to spray if, according to the weather forecast, it should rain in the coming days.

Before treating plants with chemicals, it is advisable to wear glasses and a mask so that the liquid does not get on the mucous membranes. It is also best to carry out the procedure in closed tight clothing. If the solution does get on the skin or eyes, immediately rinse the affected area with plenty of running water. If after a while, symptoms such as itching, burning or redness appear, you should immediately consult a doctor.

Toxicity degree

The chemical is not dangerous for humans, honey insects and mammals. But it is undesirable to use it near open water bodies. The agent does not negatively affect the treated plants. Unless the process of photosynthesis can be disrupted in certain parts of plants, but this will not affect the yield in any way.

Compatibility with other chemicals

The drug "Merlin" is allowed to be used in conjunction with other herbicides to combat weeds in corn beds.
