Instructions for use of the herbicide Dual Gold and consumption rates

“Dual Gold” is a preparation that is applied before the cultivated plants reach the surface. It fights well against dandelion, birch, sow thistle, acorn grass, wheatgrass and many other common weeds. Herbicide "Dual Gold", applied according to the instructions, remains on the foliage for a long time, quickly penetrates the weeds and immediately starts working.

Composition and release form of the drug

The savior of cultivated plants from most weeds in the early stages of development is “Dual Gold”. The high efficiency is due to the presence in its composition of a mixture of four optical and geometric isomers of C-metolachlor.

The drug goes on sale in the form of a highly concentrated emulsion, packaged in plastic canisters of various sizes.

Advantages of the product

Pre-emergent “Dual Gold” allows you to get rid of most monocotyledonous and some dicotyledonous weeds and has a number of advantages over analogues:

• used for spraying many types of crops;
• equally effective when treating crops before and after germination;
• economical to use;
• effectively protects crops during the germination period, when competition for nutrients negatively affects their growth and development;
• the low degree of volatility of the substance ensures high-quality processing;
• the long period of action guarantees long-term protection and ensures clean crops for up to eight weeks, and also prevents a second wave of weed growth;
• by the end of the growing season, the active substance decomposes;
• phytotoxicity of the drug is not observed even with an overdose.

“Dual Gold” fully copes with its assigned functions and effectively fights weeds.

Mechanism of action of the herbicide "Dual Gold"

Weeds pose a particular danger to young seedlings. During this period, there is a real struggle between plants for lighting, water and nutrients. If no measures are taken, the weeds will become the winners. At the same time, cultivated plants grow stunted and nonviable or die completely.

There is no way to do this without the use of herbicides, especially when we are talking about large areas of crops and manual weeding is physically impossible.

After spraying, the herbicide begins its active action, but the mechanism of action on dicotyledons and cereals is different. The absorption of the herbicide by dicotyledonous weeds occurs with the help of cotyledons. Cereals absorb it through the cleoptile. As a result of penetration, the drug causes a delay in the biosynthesis of fatty acids, lipids and proteins. Cell division is disrupted. The weed stops growing and then dies.

Instructions for use of herbicide

"Dual Gold" is an effective means for reliable protection of cultivated plants from weeds and control of yield. Used in growing many crops.

Consumption rates

Consumption rates for each type of plant and treatment period

Speed ​​of exposure and period of protective action

After exposure to the drug, the weeds die at the moment of germination and appearance on the surface. The applied herbicide reliably protects crops from weeds for eight weeks. However, in the future, problems with weeds also do not arise. The second wave of their growth is excluded, and cultivated plants will be protected until the end of the growing season.

By the end of the growing season, “Dual Gold” is almost completely decomposed. Thanks to this property, there are no restrictions when planning crop rotation and selecting the next crop to sow.

Rules for preparing the working solution

Compliance with consumption standards when preparing a working solution for processing various crops is of great importance. Strict compliance with recommended standards allows you to defeat weeds and achieve good yields. A weak solution with insufficient amount of herbicide significantly worsens the spraying results.

To prepare the working solution, the sprayer is not completely filled with water. Then the required amount of the drug is injected. Mix everything thoroughly, achieving an equal consistency of the solution. Then add water to the required volume and mix the solution well again.

Poor mixing is fraught with unpleasant consequences: the area will be treated unevenly, and live and healthy weeds may remain in some places..

Safety precautions when working with the product

When working with the drug, use protective equipment: a respirator, goggles and special clothing. Avoid contact with exposed skin. If contact occurs, wash thoroughly with plenty of water and soap.

Toxicity

The drug is prohibited for use in the sanitary zone around stocked reservoirs and has a 24-hour restriction on the flight of bees. After treatment, it is prohibited to rinse equipment and drain waste near water bodies.

Compatibility with other drugs

To increase the effectiveness of treatment, Dual Gold is often combined with herbicides that affect other types of weeds.

Storage period and conditions

"Dual Gold" is stored within permissible temperatures: from -5 to +35 ° C, using dark rooms. When packaged, it does not lose its properties for three years.

Are there any analogues?

If desired, analogues of the herbicide “Dual” can be used to treat crops.They work in a similar way and contain C-metolachlor. These include:

• "Vanguard";
• "Anaconda";
• "Difiline".

The use of “Dual Gold” allows you to effectively grow various crops over large areas, not be afraid of the appearance of weeds and achieve good yields.
