Composition, purpose and formulation of the herbicide "Gonor"
“Gonor” is a soil-type herbicide that is used to get rid of dicotyledonous weeds that have appeared on the site. It is used to protect grain crops, potatoes, carrots and sunflowers from weeds.
The product is made from a substance such as prometrin, which, when penetrated into the weeds, leads to their death. "Gonor" is produced in the form of a liquid, which is in small canisters.
How the weed killer works
Before spraying, you need to familiarize yourself with the principle of action of this herbicide. After treatment, the active substance penetrates through the root system into the stems and gradually accumulates in the foliage. The herbicide that gets inside begins to negatively affect the cell wall of the weed, causing it to collapse and photosynthesis to slow down.
A special feature of “Honor” is its prolonged action, thanks to which the area remains protected from weeds for 60-70 days.
Benefits of use
"Gonor", like other herbicide compositions, has a number of advantages that you need to familiarize yourself with before using it. The main advantages include the following:
- efficiency, thanks to which it is possible to eliminate almost any weed;
- low cost;
- ease of use;
- fast speed of action;
- long duration of protective effect.
Consumption rate for different plants
The amount of herbicide used may vary depending on the plants that will be grown on the site:
- Vegetable crops. Most often, “Gonor” is used to cultivate a vegetable garden. In this case, you will have to use 20-25 milliliters of the drug.
- Cereals.When processing fields where grain crops are grown, you will have to use a lot of herbicide. 300-500 milliliters are consumed per hectare.
- Legumes. Areas where leguminous plants grow are regularly sprayed with herbicide mixtures. To spray a hectare you will need about a liter of mixture.
Preparation of working solution
Before you start processing, you need to prepare a working solution with which the area will be sprayed.
When creating the mixture, a quarter of the tank is filled with clean water, after which the herbicide is added. Then the mixture in the container is thoroughly stirred and more water is added. There is no need to infuse the prepared composition, as it must be consumed within 2-3 hours after preparation.
Application of herbicide
The instructions for use will help you use Honor correctly, and therefore you should familiarize yourself with it.
The product is used to treat the soil using a ground sprayer. Before this, the area is leveled and watered with water. It is better to spray in the early morning or in the evening, when the wind subsides.
Processing is carried out 1-2 times per season.
Warnings
When using "Honor" you must adhere to safety precautions. Processing must be carried out with protective gloves so that drops do not fall on the surface of the skin. You should also wear a respirator that will prevent the herbicide from entering the respiratory tract. Regular sunglasses are used to protect the eyes.
The degree of toxicity of the drug
People who will use Gonor in the future must understand its degree of toxicity.
The drug is not capable of seriously harming humans, birds and bees.However, it is low-toxic only if the working mixture has been prepared correctly, in compliance with all proportions.
Toxicity levels may increase if more herbicide is added to the solution.
Is it compatible with other substances?
Sometimes, to increase the effectiveness of a herbicide, it is used together with other drugs. "Gonor" is compatible with such drugs as CE and "Anaconda". A composition prepared from these products can effectively combat most dicotyledonous weeds that are often found in vegetable gardens.
However, there are herbicide mixtures with which Gonor is not compatible. Therefore, before mixing certain products, you need to make sure they are compatible.
How to properly store the product?
There are certain features of herbicide storage that you should familiarize yourself with before purchasing Honor. Experts advise storing it in cool rooms where the temperature is kept at fifteen degrees Celsius. In such conditions it will not deteriorate for 3-4 years. At room temperature it will spoil 2-3 times faster.
What analogues are there?
If you cannot purchase Honor, you will have to use other means that have a similar effect instead. These include:
- "Makstar";
- "Segal";
- "Gezagar";
- "Prometrin."
Conclusion
Herbicide "Gonor" is a popular product that many people use to clear an area of weeds. Before using it, you will have to familiarize yourself with the description of the drug, as well as the features of the preparation and use of the working mixture.
