The herbicidal preparation "Arsenal" is often used in agricultural organizations. The herbicide allows you to eliminate weeds in a short time without affecting the soil.
Composition and release form of the herbicide "Arsenal"
A new method of treating large areas of land is the use of Arsenal herbicide. The drug "Arsenal New" consists of the substance imazopyr, which has a negative effect on weeds and leads to their death.
Available in containers of 15 ml, 1 liter and large canisters of 5 liters, designed for continuous exposure to large areas of land.
Advantages compared to other means
Various preparations can be used to spray the soil against weeds. However, Arsenal has some advantages, which include:
- affects all types of weeds;
- high efficiency;
- quickly absorbed by the plant;
- does not affect the condition of the soil;
- harmless to humans and animals;
- One treatment per season is enough to remove weeds;
- One container is enough for a long time.
After distributing the substance, the result is noticeable quickly. Weeds are removed at the root level, which reduces the risk of re-emergence.
The principle of action of the weed killer
After spraying with the substance, particles of the drug penetrate into the leaves of the plant. The active component quickly spreads throughout the weed and blocks the absorption of oxygen and sunlight. Cells also stop dividing and multiplying. As a result, the plant withers and dies.
Response speed
After spraying a low-growing plant, the first results are noticeable a day after treatment. The weed will completely disappear after 2 days.
For tall grass and bushes, wait up to 4 days to see results.
How to prepare a working solution
To prepare the working fluid, you must perform the following algorithm:
- Shake the container with the drug thoroughly;
- pour the substance (15 ml) into a plastic container and dilute with water (5 liters);
- mix thoroughly and pour into a spray bottle.
The working fluid cannot be stored. The solution must be used immediately after preparation.
Important.To spray bushes and tall weeds, you need to increase the dosage: 20 ml per 5 liters of water.
Method, treatment time, drug consumption
The instructions for use contain all the necessary recommendations for processing the land. When using the drug, it is necessary to take into account some features:
- Method of exposure - the herbicide is used by spraying weeds. This can be a spray bottle for small areas. Or specialized equipment for processing fields.
- Spraying time - plants are treated in the evening or early in the morning. There should be no wind or rain during spraying, otherwise the treatment must be repeated.
- Consumption - depending on the size of the land plot, the specifics of consumption should be taken into account. For tractor spraying, 200 liters of the substance are used per 1 hectare. Spraying using aircraft implies a consumption of 70 liters per 1 ha. Manual processing requires 500 liters per 1 ha.
For small areas, 30 grams per 10 liters of water is enough. Using a large amount of herbicide can have a negative impact on the soil.
Toxicity and safety precautions
The herbicide belongs to the 2nd toxicity group. During spraying, the following safety precautions must be observed:
- use protective clothing;
- use safety glasses and a respirator;
- after treatment, take a shower with soap;
- In case of contact with mucous membranes, rinse them with plenty of water.
During the spraying period, there should be no children or pets nearby. In case of poisoning, you must go to the hospital.
Storage conditions and periods
The substance is stored in a cool place without access to sunlight.There should be no products or household items in the room. The shelf life of the drug is no more than 2 years from the date indicated on the package.
Analogs
If for some reason the herbicide is not suitable for treating the land, you can use the following analogues:
- “Shkval” is a drug for continuous action on plants. Suitable for removing all types of weeds.
- "Helios" - has a negative effect on the weed. Begins to act after contact with the above-ground part of the plant.
- “Tornado” - the product can be used for annual or biennial plants. Allows you to remove weeds with one application.
When choosing a herbicide, it is important to carefully study the instructions and proportions when preparing the working solution.
Bottom line
The use of herbicides allows you to quickly remove all weeds. The drug penetrates the plant cells and blocks all life processes, as a result of which the weed dies.
