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 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.
Preparation of working solution
To prepare the working solution, you will need to pour half the amount of water into the prepared container and add the required amount of herbicide according to the attached instructions. 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
The working mixture must be prepared immediately before use. Its concentration is selected depending on the requirements for a particular weed. It is recommended to process potato plantings several days before emergence. Areas prepared for sowing various crops are sprayed with the herbicide “Glider” in the fall, after harvesting.
The instructions for use recommend that work be carried out exclusively in warm and dry weather.
The solution cannot be used before or after rain, since in this case its effectiveness is reduced several times. Also, do not spray the area during extreme heat and prolonged drought.
