Instructions for use of Glyfor against weeds, description of the herbicide and consumption rates

The use of herbicides is justified by several arguments. There is no need for monotonous weeding of beds. The effect of the drug is longer than the mechanical destruction of unwanted guests. The product is equally effective for both perennial and annual pests. Meet: detailed instructions on the doses and use of Glyfor against weeds.

Composition, formulation and purpose of the herbicide Glifor

The drug contains glyphosate, a complex, universal action product. It is available in liquid form; all you have to do is dilute it with water in the required concentration.

Glyfor copes with a wide range of pests:

1. Annuals.
2. Perennial.
3. Cereals.
4. Dicotyledonous.
5. Dandelions.
6. Convolvulus.
7. Birch.
8. Sow thistle.

By using Glyfor, you can be sure that the weeds will be gone from the area for a long time.

Mechanism of action and speed of action

The effect of Glyfor is based on the following factors: the drug interrupts the development of amino acids in harmful plants, while simultaneously changing the permeability of membranes in cells. These circumstances have a depressing effect on the viability of weeds; they die before our eyes. As a rule, within 3-4 days for annual pests and 10 for perennial pests, the leaves wither and the aerial parts dry out.

Over time, the herbicide travels through the capillaries to the roots, finally destroying the weed.

How long does it protect?

On average, the drug retains a high concentration in plant tissues for almost 2 months, up to 50 days. All this time there is intensive pumping from the above-ground part of the weed to the underground. With standard processing, mechanical destruction, it is the roots hidden in the depths that pose the greatest danger. The herbicide eliminates this problem once and for all.

Advantages and disadvantages

To ensure the reliability and high efficiency of the product, consider its advantages:

1. It affects all parts of the plant, equally suppressing leaves, stems, and roots.
2. Recommended for a wide range of garden pests.
3. It is not washed out of the weed tissue even in the rain.
4. Decomposition in the soil occurs quickly; traces of the chemical do not penetrate into cultivated plants.
5. Already 7 days after the dressing, sowing of seeds and planting of seedlings is allowed.
6. By type of action it is classified as a desiccant - a substance that inhibits the underground part of the weed.
7. The shelf life is 5 years.

Among the shortcomings, one can highlight one, but a serious one: Glyfor is a herbicide, a poison that poses a danger to humans. Handling it requires precautions.

Consumption measures for different plants

Depending on the type of crop, the concentration of the plant treatment agent varies. Spring crops, potatoes, and vegetables must be sprayed according to the following scheme: 80 milliliters of Glyfor for annuals and 100 milliliters for perennial weeds. The dose of the drug is diluted in a bucket (10 liters) of water.

The optimal time for etching is autumn.

Gardens and vineyards are treated according to a similar principle: they are sprayed in the summer at the rate of 80/120 milliliters for annual/perennial pests. The same is done with areas that are planned to be prepared for sowing next year (or after harvest).

How to properly prepare and use the working solution

The mixture is prepared immediately before use. If there are cultivated plants near the treatment area, it is advisable to cover them with film and isolate them during spraying. The required dose of the product, depending on the etching scheme, is diluted in a bucket of water.

Spraying occurs optimally quickly and reliably using a garden sprayer. Only the green parts (stem, leaves) are processed; there is no need to water the roots. The prepared Glyfor solution is not intended for long-term storage; it should be used as quickly as possible.

Precautions when working with the product

Glyfor belongs to hazard class 3 (moderate).Translated into Russian, this means that it is difficult to get poisoned by the drug, but it is also not advisable to allow it to get into the organs of vision, the esophagus, or the mucous membranes. In this case, it is necessary to immediately rinse the affected organ or area with warm water.

If swallowed, induce vomiting or consult a doctor immediately. When performing spraying, use special clothing, rubber gloves and a mask, as well as safety glasses.

Phytotoxicity

Glyfor does not have pronounced toxicity to garden crops, vegetables and cereals. However, it is advisable to avoid getting the drug on the stems, fruits, and foliage of cultivated plants.

Only the green mass of weeds can be processed, and this is what you should focus on.

Resistance

Lack of resistance and addiction is an important advantage of the drug. You can treat weeds with it many times, each time the substance will have a depressing effect on the tops and roots, killing harmful plants.

Compatibility with other pesticides

Glyfor combines well with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. Not recommended for combined use with highly alkaline substances. Before complex processing, simultaneous or sequential use of the drug with other pesticides, it is necessary to study the instructions for use and make sure that such actions are permissible and provided for by the manufacturer.

Guaranteed storage period

According to the manufacturer, the active ingredient, glyphosate, retains its properties for 5 years. This period is enough to use the drug to destroy all weeds in the garden plot.

Analogs

The closest analogues of Glyfor in terms of their mechanism of action include desiccants (preparations that destroy the root system of the weed), as well as herbicides similar in composition to it.

There are quite a lot of them. These are Agrokiller, Glibest, Glider, Gliterr, Glyfogold, Glyfid, Glyphos and others.
