Weeds are an eternal problem for all summer residents and farmers. Everyone fights them as best they can and wants, but often these actions do not bring the desired effect. To get rid of grass weeds for a long time, it is recommended to use Panther herbicide. We will describe its properties and rules of use, as well as compatibility with other drugs below.

Composition and release form of the herbicide Panther
It is produced by the manufacturer in the form of an emulsion, which is convenient to dilute with water and use for home and industrial purposes. The substance is packaged in 5 liter plastic containers and 100 ml bottles.
The active ingredient is quizalofop-P-tefuryl. Each liter of herbicide contains 40 grams of active substance. Additives are used as additional components that improve adhesion to plants.
Panther is a low toxicity chemical with a minimum application rate per hectare. Once in the ground, it does not accumulate and 7 hours after spraying it breaks down into non-toxic components.
It has a third hazard class, therefore it requires compliance with the necessary transportation rules.
Positive and negative sides
The Panther is in great demand because:
- effectively destroys weeds belonging to the cereal family;
- begins to act an hour after spraying;
- quickly attacks the weed root, preventing its vegetative propagation;
- weeds cannot develop “immunity” to it, so the same areas can be repeatedly treated with the herbicide;
- it reliably sticks to weeds and is not washed away by rain;
- the development of cultivated plants does not affect its use;
- Sold in containers that are convenient to use.
The panther will not cope with mold and microscopic fungi, and will not be able to infect dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous weeds. The product has a narrow spectrum of action, so it is effective only in the fight against cereal weeds. This is its main disadvantage.
How the drug works
Once on a plant, Panther begins to penetrate its tissues, spreads throughout it and inhibits its subsequent development.Its growth stops immediately after contact with the herbicide, and the full result of spraying is visible already on the fourth day. The weeds die off completely within three weeks after the procedure.
The substance suppresses cereal weeds. It only affects plants that have already grown at the time of spraying. Therefore, if necessary, the procedure must be repeated.
Calculation of weed control consumption
The consumption rate of the herbicide solution is 400 liters per 1 hectare. To treat one hundred square meters, you need to dilute 10 g of the substance in 10 liters of water, mix thoroughly and spray the resulting solution onto the beds with vegetable and root crops. The leaves of the plant should be completely wet.
Important! It is forbidden to increase the recommended dosage, as this may adversely affect the growth and yield of cultivated plants.
How to prepare a working solution
The success of its application depends on the correct preparation of the working solution, so you need to:
- Fill the sprayer tank halfway with water, slowly add the required amount of herbicide and mix everything thoroughly so that it is completely dissolved.
- Rinse the container in which the herbicide was diluted with water and pour into the tank.
- Add the missing amount of water to the tank, stir and carefully tighten the lid.
During the processing process, it is better to use boom sprayers, as they better distribute the chemical among the plants.
Conditions for increasing the effectiveness of the procedure:
- it is necessary to treat weeds that are in the phase of two true leaves;
- there should be a lot of weeds;
- optimal weather conditions (windless cloudy day, evening or morning).
Instructions for use of herbicide
For your convenience, we offer clear instructions for use.
Culture | Weed type | Time of processing | Dosage | Number of treatments | Duration of action of the herbicide |
Potatoes, tomatoes, beets, onions, cucumbers, white cabbage, rapeseed, sunflowers | Annual cereals | At the 4 leaf stage | 0.07-0.1 ml per 1 m² |
1 time |
45-60 days |
Perennial cereals |
When the plants reach a height of 15 cm |
0.1-0.15 ml per 1 m² |
Work safety requirements
Safe use of Panther involves:
- Please carefully study the attached instructions first.
- Mandatory use of personal protective equipment.
- Refusal of nicotine, food and water during work.
- Spraying at appropriate times under optimal weather conditions.
The procedure cannot be performed on minors, people with contraindications for health reasons, pregnant or lactating women.
Compatibility with other substances
Panther interacts well with many herbicides intended for the destruction of dicotyledonous weeds. The exception is drugs with an alkaline reaction. If it is necessary to mix different herbicides, it is recommended to check their compatibility: both substances are mixed in a small amount in water. The absence of sediment confirms that they interact well.
Practice proves that Panthera can be mixed with herbicides:
- Lorgnette.
- Betaren.
- Caribou.
- Mitron.
Shelf life and storage conditions
The manufacturer claims that the Panther retains its basic capabilities for three years from the date of manufacture. The product is best stored indoors at +5-25 degrees. It is recommended to shake the herbicide well immediately before use.
Herbicide analogues
In addition to Panther, you can use to kill weeds:
- Greenfort.
- Lemur.
- Fusilade forte.
- Antipyray.
- Arista.
These herbicides are analogues of Panthera. They immediately begin to destroy weeds without having a negative impact on cultivated plants.
Bottom line
By following the tips for practical use of the Panther, you can easily destroy annual and perennial weeds and get a good harvest.
