Instructions for use of the herbicide Adengo and mechanism of action

Adengo herbicide is an innovative product that is suitable for both pre-emergence and post-emergence treatment. The drug fights both one- and two-year-old weeds growing in corn and gets rid of them for a long time. It is for this reason that Adengo is popular among gardeners. Below you will find information about its composition and application features.

Composition and release form of the weed killer

Adengo is a suspension concentrate that is used to control the growth of various types of weeds in corn crops. It is very effective in action due to the content of 3 main substances:

1. Isoxaflutol. It penetrates through the roots and sprouts of the weed into its seedlings and seeds. Penetration efficiency depends on soil moisture levels.
2. Tiencarbazone-methyl. Moves freely throughout the weed after being absorbed by the roots. The essence of its action is that it leads to the death of the plant as a result of disruption of protein synthesis.
3. Cyprosulfamide. It acts on the corn itself, thereby protecting it from the action of other substances.

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages of Adengo:

1. Control over 100 species of dicotyledonous weeds over time.
2. When treatment is carried out during the growing season, it begins to control weeds.
3. Prevents the next batch of weeds from germinating.
4. The drug is used both before and after corn germination.

Disadvantages of the drug:

1. Inability to use Adengo in conjunction with nitrogen fertilizers.
2. Before use, determine compatibility with other products.
3. As a result of pre-emergence treatment, chlorosis may appear on the leaves, which does not affect further harvest.
4. After using Adengo, it is not recommended to plant other plants in this place for 1-2 years.

Mechanism of action

The drug is characterized by a double effect. The first effect is that the active substances discolor the weeds. If there is proper watering, the plants either do not germinate or die at an early stage.

The second effect is that when thiencarbazone methyl is ingested, the functioning of the protein is disrupted, as a result of which the grass is not able to reproduce.

Protective action time

The time of protective action depends on many factors, for example, soil moisture. However, the norm is considered to be from 8 weeks until harvest. Control of sensitive weeds begins from the first application.

During periods of drought, weeds may appear, but rain will renew the effects of Adengo. Weeds that reach 5 cm in height die within 10 days. After the activity of the drug has resumed, the action of the herbicide continues for a decade.

Calculation of consumption for different plants

Consumption for corn is 0.5 l/ha, and the water application rate is 200 l/ha. Fine droplet spraying is recommended.

Preparation of working solution

The working solution is prepared as follows. The required amount of the drug is poured into the bucket, then ¼ of the water is added. After this, the solution is mixed and the remaining water is poured. Next, everything is poured into the sprayer and processing begins.

Further use

Instructions for using the drug are very simple:

1. Spraying of crops is carried out before or after corn emergence, when it has 2-3 leaves and the weeds are at an early stage of development. Spraying is carried out evenly.
2. Next year, beets, buckwheat and other sensitive crops cannot be planted in this place. The best option would be to replant the corn.
3. Provided that the soil is well moistened, 2 years pass before sowing sensitive crops, and the land is deeply plowed.

Security measures

Herbicides are considered harmless to humans, but precautions must be taken:

1. Be sure to use a protective suit, goggles and gloves.
2. Hand sprayers are not used.
3. Do not treat areas where there are children.

Phytotoxicity

At high temperatures, as well as sudden temperature changes, leaf chlorosis is observed. However, it disappears soon without damaging the crop.

Compatibility with other tools

Adengo destroys various weeds that appear in corn. But to combat bindweed, mixtures with other herbicides are used.

The only condition is that the compatibility of the drugs is initially checked.

Storage conditions and periods

Adengo is stored at temperatures from -5 to +30 degrees. Under such conditions, the drug is stored for 3 years from the date of manufacture.

Are there any analogues?

At the moment there is no information on the availability of analogues of the herbicide Adengo.

This drug has many advantages that a number of other drugs do not have, so it cannot be replaced.
