Instructions for use of the herbicide Glifogold, mechanism of action and consumption rates

Weeds do not allow obtaining a full harvest and interfere with the growing season of agricultural crops. The use of herbicides is the chemical weeding of crops. Continuous action preparations are capable of clearing the soil of all types of weeds and preparing fields for sowing. Let's consider the capabilities of the herbicide Glyfogold - properties, instructions for use, consumption rates.

Composition, purpose and release form of the drug Glifogold

The herbicide belongs to the class of organophosphorus substances, its active substance is glyphosate at a concentration of 360 grams per liter. Available in the form of an aqueous solution.

The manufacturer recommends using the herbicide in the post-emergence period, at the beginning of the vegetative processes of weeds. The active ingredient has a contact and systemic effect on sensitive types of weeds.

Glyfogold is used as a continuous and selective action drug in the following cases:

• for cleaning orchards and vineyards;
• for eliminating weeds in fields of grain, potatoes, corn, sunflowers;
• treatment of fallows and fields before sowing;
• clearing weeds from alienated areas along roadsides and near industrial facilities;
• treatment of parks and recreation areas.

The herbicide activity applies to the following types of vegetation:

• annual and perennial dicotyledonous and cereal weeds;
• hard-to-remove harmful species - thistle and bindweed, other species;
• shrubs and trees – willow, alder, elm, acacia;
• a wide range of herbaceous vegetation.

The herbicide is poured into 20 liter plastic canisters.

Advantages in comparison with analogues

The undoubted advantages of Glyfogold are:

• comprehensive effect on sensitive objects - from the ground part to the roots, destruction of overgrown weed rhizomes;
• complete and rapid decomposition in the soil, which does not limit crop rotation and allows use in fallows before sowing;
• non-toxic to protected crops;
• has a pronounced contact effect, is quickly absorbed by the green part of the weeds, which allows you to choose a lower rate when spraying.

The drug has a wide spectrum of herbicidal action, the regulations for use have been worked out and tested.

Mechanism of action

Glyphosate is absorbed by the surface part of the weed, enters the conducting system and spreads throughout all tissues, reaching the root.

The herbicide stops the production of amino acids, which leads to inhibition of vegetation and then to the death of the plant. The foliage loses turgor, turns yellow, growing points die, plants bend and dry out.

Glyphosate that gets into the soil is not dangerous for plants, since it is not absorbed by the roots.

Important: when using a herbicide, you should remember that this substance has a continuous effect - it destroys many types of vegetation.

Consumption rates for different plants

When choosing application rates, it is important to take into account the characteristics of clogging, the types of plants to be destroyed and crops to be protected:

To process 1 hectare, from 100 to 200 liters of the working mixture are used.

How to prepare a working solution?

The working mixture is prepared at special sites. Half the amount of water is poured into the sprayer tank, Glyfogold is added with the hydraulic mixer running. After thorough mixing, the remaining water is added.

The weed control solution must be used within several hours; the working mixture is not stored.

Instructions for use of the finished mixture

Regulations for the use of herbicide on different crops:

1. In spring and summer, weeds in gardens and vineyards are sprayed, while protecting cultural plantings.
2. Fields of cereals, vegetables, and oilseeds are cultivated after harvesting, when the weeds are in the growing season.
3. Pairs pollinate when active weed growth begins. The best result is achieved at the stage of 2-4 sheets.
4. Parks and exclusion zones along highways are sprayed during the period of vegetation development. Picking berries, herbs, and mushrooms on the territory is prohibited.

One treatment per season is allowed. It is carried out in calm, cool weather with no precipitation.

Safety precautions for use

When working with Glyfogold - preparing the mixture, spraying the solution - use the usual precautions:

• all manipulations are carried out in a protective suit with a mask and goggles;
• do not allow animals or bees to come into contact with the herbicide;
• The remaining mixture is disposed of in the prescribed manner.

It is allowed to enter the fields 3-7 days after pollination from weeds.

Herbicide toxicity

The drug belongs to the group of low-hazard drugs - class 3 for humans and bees. Glyfogold quickly decomposes in the soil; after application, any crops can be planted.

Is it compatible with other drugs?

There is positive experience in the combined use of Glyfogold with the following drugs:

• Atrazine;
• 2,4-D;
• Dicamba.

Before spraying, it is necessary to check the prepared mixture on the crop being treated.

Terms and conditions of storage

The stated warranty period is 5 years in unopened factory packaging.Storage is allowed in special warehouses for chemicals at temperatures from -1 ° to +35 °.

Similar means

Many herbicides based on glyphosate are produced under different trade names. All of them can be considered analogues (glyphosate content in grams in brackets):

• Agrokiller (500);
• Bestseller (687);
• Glibel (360);
• Glyphos (360);
• Fighter (360);
• Kernel (480);
• Pillaround (360);
• Octopus (360);
• Swift (687).

Herbicides are available in the form of an aqueous solution or granules. When choosing a drug, you should read the instructions, which indicate the features of use against weeds.

Continuous herbicides They are successfully used to clear areas overgrown with weeds and prepare fields for sowing. Despite its slight toxicity and rapid decomposition in soil, Glyfogold should be used with caution, not exceeding the recommended standards and within the specified time frame. In this case, the herbicide will exhibit all the declared properties - it will destroy weeds and will not harm the environment.
