Instructions for using Miura herbicide against weeds in beds and consumption rate

Miura herbicide is a selective action drug that is used to destroy annual and perennial weeds in plantings. The product is quickly absorbed by the leaves of harmful plants, which leads to their inevitable death. To understand the effectiveness of the drug, you need to know the features of the instructions for use of the Miura herbicide, its composition, mechanism of action, as well as toxicity and safety precautions when working with the product.

Composition and release form of Miura herbicide

The main active ingredient of the product is chisalofop-P-ethyl. The release form of the drug is an emulsion concentrate. It is sold in canisters that have a volume of 5 liters.

Positive and negative sides

The drug is capable of destroying weeds at all stages of development. For this reason, 1 treatment with the product is sufficient. In addition, the herbicide practically does not accumulate in the soil, decomposing into components that do not pose a danger to the environment.

Among the disadvantages of the drug, it is worth highlighting its effectiveness only against grass weeds. At the same time, it is not capable of causing harm to dicotyledonous weeds. Miura belongs to hazard class 3, which requires compliance with safety precautions when working with the substance.

Mechanism of action of the drug

The main active ingredient of the herbicide has an inhibitory effect on weeds. It is easily absorbed by cereal pests, including bluegrass, wheatgrass, bentgrass, reed, foxtail, bristle grass, and wild oats, after which it quickly spreads through the stem and affects the root system.

Over time, harmful plants begin to turn yellow and dry out, and 3 weeks after treatment they die completely.

Preparation of working solution

Before mixing the herbicide, shake the herbicide several times in the original container. The sprayer container is filled one third with water and the mixer is turned on. Next, add the calculated dose of the drug and continue to fill the tank with water, while stirring. This continues until the mixture is smooth and the tank is completely filled.

Calculation of consumption for different crops

The product is produced in special four-layer canisters with a volume of 5 liters. On average, the application rate for annual weeds is 600 milliliters per 1 hectare. To destroy perennial weeds, use 1 liter of product per 200-300 liters of water.

Instructions for using herbicide against weeds

Opening the packaging of the product is carried out away from food, children, pregnant and lactating women, as well as people with individual intolerance to the components of the drug. Mixing of the working solution is carried out on the day of treatment. During this you need to use protective equipment, including a respirator and goggles.

The resulting solution is sprayed on the ground part of the weeds in the beds. Care should be taken to ensure that the substance does not get on the leaves of plant crops.

In the case of the Miura herbicide, 1 application is sufficient, since chisalofop-P-ethyl is able to destroy weeds at the development stage.

Safety precautions

When processing plants, it is recommended to adhere to certain safety rules, thanks to which you can avoid intoxication of the body with the Miura herbicide. These include:

1. Use changeable clothing made from thick fabric. In addition, you need to have vacuum goggles, a hat, a respirator, rubber gloves and high shoes.

3. When spraying fruit plants, do not eat, smoke or drink. This will prevent the drug from entering the digestive system and upper respiratory tract.
4. Small children, pregnant and lactating women should not be near the person performing the treatment. This is also not recommended for people who are allergic to the components of the herbicide.
