Instructions for using the herbicide Glider against weeds

Weeds cause a lot of trouble for gardeners and gardeners. A lot of time and effort is spent fighting them. “Glider” is a highly effective herbicide that can alleviate the plight of farmers and destroy weeds on the site. It can be used on an industrial scale and in private summer cottages. After spraying, there is no need for regular weeding.

Active substance, dosage form and purpose of the drug

The active ingredient of the herbicide "Glider" is glyphosate, which has a detrimental effect on weeds. The drug is available in the form of a concentrated aqueous solution and is packaged in 20 liter canisters.

The main purpose of the “Glider” is the destruction of a wide range of annual and perennial weeds, as well as the control of trees and shrubs on the site.

Mechanism of action of the herbicide "Glider"

When the working solution gets on the leaves, the active substance is quickly absorbed by the plant and spreads throughout it. Due to the effect of the herbicide, photosynthesis processes in weeds slow down, the formation of growth enzymes stops, and respiration is inhibited. After some time, the plant dies completely.

Pros and cons of weed killer

Thanks to its advantages, the herbicide "Glider" has gained popularity among gardeners and gardeners. Its advantages include:

• effective impact on weeds in the rosette phase or at the very beginning of active growth;
• no restrictions on crop rotation;
• lack of soil activity;
• rapid decomposition when released into the ground;
• economical consumption due to the high concentration of active ingredients in the initial composition.

Among the main disadvantages are:

• impossibility of using the drug during a period of prolonged drought;
• slowing down the process of exposure to the product at elevated or low temperatures;
• rain within 4 hours after treatment reduces the effectiveness of the herbicide;
• It is inadmissible to use the drug on wet foliage or during rain.

Consumption of the drug for different plants

The consumption rates of the working solution of the herbicide "Glider" per 1 hectare of area vary depending on the type of plant being treated and are:

• for fiber flax - 100-300 l;
• for sunflower - 50-200 l.

To treat potatoes, 120 ml of “Glider” is dissolved in 10 liters of water, but for other beds, 80 ml of the drug is enough.

Mix everything thoroughly, then add clean water to the required level and stir again. Next, you should pour the prepared solution into a sprayer and process it.

Instructions for use of the finished mixture
