“Rap” only affects weeds, and it penetrates through leaves and other green parts. Moves along the conduction system, cell sap is involved. Immediately it affects all plant systems, which leads to the beginning of death. The action is irrevocable.

The average time for weeds to die off is about a week. But young weeds can die within 5 days. At the same time, if there are bad weather conditions and low humidity, then the complete death of the plant is observed only after 30 days.

After the herbicide poison enters the plant’s body, the initial appearance of yellowness is observed. Over time it only gets stronger.At the extreme stages of the plant dying from the influence of the herbicide, a slight brown tone appears. Then the leaves die, followed by all other plant systems.
