Fabian is a combination herbicide whose purpose is to kill weeds in soybeans. The product effectively destroys both cereal varieties and one- and two-year-old dicotyledons. The product is distinguished by its powerful effect on weeds, due to which it is actively used for growing soybeans.

Composition and release form
The drug contains substances that block the growth and development of weeds, but are safe for soybean crops. Release form: bottles weighing one kilogram with granules of the substance.
Purpose of the product
Fabian herbicide is intended primarily for the treatment of soybeans. Effectively destroys weeds that interfere with the growth of soybean crops.
Mechanism of action of Fabian
After treating the field, the drug substances penetrate directly into the weed plant. After which they begin to move inside the weed plant, blocking protein production. As a result, cell growth and division are inhibited and then completely stopped.
At optimal air temperature, atmospheric pressure and amount of precipitation, signs of weed damage will be noticeable within five days from the moment the crops are treated with the drug. If the air temperature is too high or low, the weeds will take longer to destroy - the effect will be noticeable, on average, after ten days.
Complete death of weed plants occurs after twenty to thirty days.
Rate and symptoms of exposure
Weed growth slows down just a couple of hours after using Fabian. Therefore, weeds stop interfering with soybean growth immediately, but a noticeable effect appears after a few days. In warm weather, after five to seven days, the growth of weeds completely stops with yellowing of the leaves. At high or low temperatures, the effect will be noticeable a little later.
The weed dies completely after a few weeks.Symptoms of exposure appear more slowly if weeds are in advanced stages of development at the time of treatment.
Period of protective action
The drug continues to work and protect soybean fields for two to three months after application. Specific timing varies depending on weather factors, as well as the composition and stage of development of the weeds.
Advantages of herbicide
The main advantage of Fabian over other anti-weed agents is its wide range of applications. The herbicide is able to quickly and effectively destroy any types of weeds growing in soybean fields. In this case, the treatment period may vary - the herbicide can be applied both before sowing and before germination, and even during the growing season. The period of influence of the product on weeds covers the entire growing season.
The drug is characterized by soil activity and is able to influence weed plants both through the leaves and through the root system. Economical in terms of consumption rate.
Phytotoxicity, crop tolerance
If the timing of plant treatment with the drug is followed correctly, the herbicide will not show signs of phytotoxicity.
Possibility of resistance
Resistance of weeds to the effects of the active substances of the drug is not observed, however, to completely eliminate its occurrence, it is recommended to alternate treatment with Fabian with treatment with herbicides with other mechanisms of action.
Measures of expenditure
When cultivating the soil before sowing and in the first stages of germination of weed plants, the consumption rate will be one hundred grams of the drug per hectare. When spraying in the early stages of weed growth, the rate is from eighty to one hundred grams per hectare.
Preparation of working solution
The solution must be made before use, no earlier than a couple of hours. Before preparing the solution, it is necessary to accurately measure the required amount, since the remainder cannot be used next time. A measured amount of the drug must be dissolved in clean water.
To do this, the product must be poured into a container of water and mixed thoroughly. It is best to dissolve the powder in a small amount of water, and then add water to the required volume based on the area being treated.
Technology of drug use
According to the instructions for the herbicide, the application technology depends on the weeds filling the field at the time of treatment.
If the soil is weakly or moderately contaminated with annual dicotyledonous weeds, as well as annual cereals, then the product will be more effective when applied after early germination.
If the crops are heavily infested with one- and two-year-old cereals, then first treatment is carried out with Fabian, and then additionally treated with graminicides. It is best to carry out the procedure when the weeds have reached a height of ten to fifteen centimeters.
If the area is contaminated with cereals and dicotyledonous weeds at the same time, first soil herbicides are applied to the soil, after which, already during the growing season, it is sprayed with Fabian.
During a prolonged spring, it is advisable to till the soil a few days before sowing. herbicide Tornado, and apply Fabian during weed emergence.
When using the drug, the air temperature should be from plus ten to plus twenty-five degrees Celsius. It is best to carry out processing at a temperature of plus fifteen degrees.At this moment, the active development of weeds occurs, and the product will act many times faster and more effectively.
Safety rules for use
During processing, use protective suits that completely cover the skin, as well as masks and respirators. Do not allow the working solution to come into contact with the skin and mucous membranes.
If the herbicide comes into contact with your skin, wash the affected area immediately to prevent a rash.
Compatibility with other tools
When using the drug at a time when harmful perennial weeds have already taken root in the soil, it is advisable to combine the herbicide with other means. The greatest effectiveness is demonstrated by the simultaneous use of Fabian with herbicides such as Tornado, Lazurit and Treflan. These products should be used when cultivating the soil before sowing, and Fabian should be applied during germination.
If the field is neglected and the weed plants have grown very strongly, you can make a solution from Fabian and Nabob products. To prepare a solution for one hectare of crops, you will need one hundred liters of Fabian's working solution and a liter of Nabob.
How to store herbicide
Fabian's shelf life is five years from the date of manufacture. Should be stored in securely closed packaging, in a dark place, out of reach of children, at a temperature of minus twenty-five to plus thirty-five degrees Celsius. The solution is prepared immediately before treatment; any remaining solution should be disposed of.
