1. The combined formula of the drug - the chemical acts on the plant from different sides, which ensures the high effectiveness of the product.
2. There is no phytotoxicity.
3. Protects cultivated plants for up to 10 weeks.
4. Biodegradable product, does not affect the following crops in crop rotation.
5. One treatment is enough.
6. Does not require immediate incorporation and post-emergence harrowing.

If the instructions for use are followed, resistance does not occur. When used together with other chemicals, prior compatibility testing is required.

Disadvantages of the product

The disadvantages of the product include:

On a note! On fertile soils with a high humus content, the application rate of Gardo Gold is maximum.

Preparation of working solution

The drug is applied to the soil using a sprayer. The tank is filled halfway with water and the suspension is thoroughly stirred using a stirrer, then other components can be added to the solution if necessary.

The basic rule is that the mixture should be homogeneous.

The solution is not stored in its finished form; it must be used within several hours after mixing.

How to use the prepared mixture?

In most cases there is no resistance. Additional substances are added to the working solution after complete stirring of the main suspension.

The degree of toxicity of the drug

The drug does not affect cultivated plants - sunflower and corn. There is no phytotoxicity. During the growing season it completely decomposes in the soil and does not pose a danger to subsequent crops in the crop rotation.

The herbicide is low-hazard for humans and bees, belongs to the 3rd class of chemical hazard, does not harm the inhabitants of water bodies, is not volatile, therefore, the impact of the drug on neighboring areas is minimal.
