Instructions for the use of herbicide Milagro, consumption rates and analogues

Herbicides are divided into continuous-action preparations, when all vegetation is destroyed, and selective, affecting certain species. The herbicide "Milagro" belongs to the second type and is applied in corn fields. Thanks to the drug, the agricultural crop is not oppressed by harmful weeds, it grows quickly and reaches technical ripeness in the shortest possible time.

Composition, release form and purpose of the drug "Milagro"

At the heart of the herbicide "Milagro" is the substance nicosulfuron, the amount of which per 1 liter of concentrated suspension is 240 grams. The drug belongs to post-emergence and has a depressing effect on all types of weeds on corn crops. He destroys not only their aboveground part, but also the entire root system.

Most often, the pesticide is packaged in 5 liter plastic cans. The suspension in the form of a creamy mass is made on the basis of mineral oil. For use it is diluted with water according to the instructions and consumption rates.

How does weed control work?

The herbicide "Milagro" systemically acts on weeds. After the substance has got on the foliage of weeds, it quickly penetrates inside it and depressingly affects the roots and growth points. This is due to the fact that nicosulfuron inhibits cell division, since amino acid enzymes are blocked. Weeds first stop growing, stop competing with corn, and then finally die.

Action speed

The speed of action of the herbicide "Milagro" is influenced by the condition of the plants, the weather at the time of the treatment. Under favorable climatic conditions, the development of especially sensitive weeds stops after 6 hours. The first visible changes, necrosis and deformation of tissues of harmful plants occur in two days, complete death - after three weeks. Young weeds are most susceptible to the drug.

Do not use the herbicide "Milagro" if corn grows in stressful situations - drought, excessive moisture, low or high temperatures. In this case, spraying is postponed to a later date.

Protective period

The maximum effectiveness of the herbicide can be achieved in the shortest possible time. The drug works from one and a half to two months.For this reason, the processing of corn seedlings is carried out once per season.

Pros and cons of the drug

The advantages of the herbicide "Milagro" include:

• the possibility of using the preparation for corn grown both for grain and for silage;
• high efficiency of the pesticide, which allows you to destroy the most harmful weeds;
• systematic action (through the foliage and through the roots);
• convenience and ease of use (no need to use special adhesives mixed with herbicide);
• rapid decomposition in soil;
• the possibility of using weeds at different stages of development.

The disadvantages include:

• danger to fish, insects and humans by direct contact;
• gradual change in soil composition.

Herbicide consumption rate

The corn is processed at the 3-10 leaf stage. For the destruction of annual and perennial weeds, a herbicide is used at a rate of 1.0-1.5 liters per hectare. The consumption of the working solution is 200-400 liters per 1 hectare.

Working solution preparation methods

Do not prepare a spray solution in advance. This is done on the day of work. It is necessary to check the cleanliness of the tank, pipes and nozzles of the sprayer, test it for operability and uniformity of the liquid supply using water.

The tank is filled to half its volume with clean warm water, the stirrer is turned on and the calculated amount of Milagro herbicide is poured in. Bring the volume of liquid to the required volume with water, mix. Further, the working solution is applied on corn crops according to the instructions and in compliance with all safety measures.

Instructions for using the ready-mixed mixture

To carry out the treatment of corn with herbicide "Milagro", several rules should be followed:

• spraying is carried out in the morning or evening, in calm, calm weather;
• the greatest efficiency can be achieved if the weeds are in the phase of 5-8 leaves and reach a height of no more than 30 cm;
• the optimum air temperature for processing is from 15 ⁰С to 30 С;
• do not spray crops in wet weather or with a high probability of precipitation;
• two weeks later, it is worth cultivating in order to destroy the weeds that have emerged after spraying with the herbicide;
• to maintain the cleanliness of corn crops, a single treatment per season is sufficient.

• "Priority" is a highly effective selective herbicide for the destruction of harmful plants in corn fields;
• "Milafuron" - a post-emergence pesticide based on nicosulfuron for the destruction of weeds of one- and two-year development cycles;
