The waiting period for beets, potatoes and sunflower is 60 days, the frequency of spraying is 1. Consumption of working fluid is 200-300 liters per hectare.

How to prepare a working solution and how to use it

The tank of the spray device is filled with water to half its volume. Add the required amount of herbicide with the stirrer on. Add water to the edge of the tank while the mixer continues to work.

Stir the solution periodically during spraying to maintain uniformity. The instructions indicate that it is possible to spray overgrown weeds, but in this case, take the maximum allowable rate of herbicide consumption. If the cultivated area is heavily clogged or the stems of the cultivated species are close to each other, then the consumption rate must be increased.
