Instructions for use and principle of operation of the herbicide Banvel, consumption rates

Many garden owners are faced with weeds that need to be gotten rid of. This can be done in various ways, but some use herbicides. The herbicide "Banvel" is popular among gardeners. Before using it, you need to familiarize yourself with the description and features of using the product.

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

Plant treatment products are available in the form of a liquid solution. Dicamba is used in the production of the drug. The concentration of this substance in the composition is 45-50%.

Most often, “Banvel” is used to get rid of perennial weeds that have appeared in corn and near grain crops. However, this product can also be sprayed on areas where vegetable seedlings are grown.

How the product works

Before using a herbicide, you need to understand its principle of action.

After treatment, the active ingredient penetrates the weeds through their foliage. Then it moves from them along the stems to the root system and upper part of the plants. When large amounts of herbicide accumulate inside the seedlings, they stop growing. Over time, the treated weeds become covered with yellow spots and begin to dry out and die.

Impact speed

People who plan to use Banvel in the future are interested in the speed of its impact. This remedy does not begin to act immediately after treatment and therefore you will have to wait a little. The first signs of the herbicide's effect on weeds appear one and a half weeks after spraying the seedlings.

At the same time, the protection time is twice as long. It is five and a half weeks. Therefore, re-treatment is carried out after a month and a half.

Benefits of herbicide

Banvel, like other herbicides, has advantages that you need to familiarize yourself with before using it. The advantages of the drug include the following:

• rapid penetration into plants through their foliage;
• effective in controlling most weeds;
• does not have a negative effect on vegetable crops;
• does not affect crop rotation in any way;
• used when creating tank mixtures;
• has time to completely decompose in the soil before the end of the growing season;
• not dangerous for humans and bees.

Consumption measures for various plants

For different plants, consumption measures may differ and therefore it is necessary to understand in advance the amount of use of the product when processing different crops:

1. Wheat. When treating such a crop against weeds, 300 milliliters of Banvel are used per 1 hectare.
2. Vegetable crops. When processing a plot of vegetables, 1 hectare is sprayed with 250 milliliters.
3. Corn. When processing corn, you will need 800 milliliters of the mixture per 1 hectare.

How to prepare a working solution

Before using Banvel, you need to figure out how to prepare a working solution for spraying from it.

First, the container in which the product will be prepared is half filled with ordinary water. Then, according to the instructions, the drug is added and water is added. The mixture is thoroughly mixed for 5-7 minutes so that the herbicide dissolves better. If the solution is poorly mixed, it will be less effective at controlling weeds.

How to use the prepared mixture

The instructions for use will help you use the working solution correctly and therefore it is better to read it in advance. It is necessary to use the herbicide during the period of maximum contamination of the area. However, the processing must be completed before the grain crops begin to tiller.

The product must be used carefully so that it does not get on neighboring seedlings. Therefore, it is better to do this in the morning or evening, when there is no strong wind. Spraying is carried out 1-2 times per season.

Safety precautions when working with the product

This product, unlike other herbicides, is not phytotoxic. Especially if you use it according to the instructions. "Banvel" belongs to the third danger group, and therefore it is not capable of harming a person. However, despite this, it must be used with special protective equipment.

Compatibility with other pesticides

Sometimes Banvel does not help control weeds and therefore it is combined with other means. Experts advise combining the mixture with pesticides. However, before this you need to find out whether the selected drug is compatible with the herbicide.

Terms and conditions of storage

People who are going to use Banvel must understand the storage conditions of the herbicide. Containers with the drug should be kept in rooms where temperatures do not exceed thirty degrees Celsius. In such conditions, the shelf life is 3-5 years.
