Instructions for use of the herbicide Hurricane against weeds, composition and consumption rate of the product

Weeds in garden beds are the most painful problem for gardeners. Unwanted vegetation not only spoils the appearance of the garden plot, but also negatively affects the development of cultivated plants. A large number of herbicides are sold in stores, one of the most popular is Hurricane. The use of Hurricane against weeds must be careful, in accordance with the instructions, otherwise it may cause harm to garden crops.

Composition, release form and purpose of the drug Hurricane

The manufacturer of Hurricane Forte VR is the Swiss company Syngenta. The product is sold in ampoule form, in glass and plastic small containers (volume from 50 to 500 ml) and tubes. Farmers purchase large containers of 1-20 liters to process their plantations.

The drug is a liquid yellowish-brown potassium salt concentrate.

Hurricane is a continuous action herbicide. The active substance comes into contact with all parts of the plant in the growing season, penetrates the tissue, and reaches the growth points. The result is the death of both the aboveground part and the roots of the weeds..

Herbicide Hurricane is used to control weeds:

• on developed agricultural lands;
• on the fields;
• in the gardens;
• in the vineyards;
• on personal plots;
• in areas near buildings;
• in courtyards, on paths;
• on neglected virgin soil.

Mechanism of action of the herbicide

The continuous action drug has the same detrimental effect on all representatives of the flora. That is, upon contact with the herbicide, both weed and cultivated species die. A hurricane can destroy even shrubs and trees if the concentration of the solution is chosen correctly.

The effect on plant tissue is indirect. The active substance, having penetrated the tissue, inhibits the biochemical processes that ensure metabolism. As a result, 2-3 days after exposure, the growing points die and the upper part of the plant turns yellow. The lower part of the shoots dies later. The death of annuals occurs after 8-10 days, perennial weeds die within a month or a little longer. The plant does not recover because the roots also die.

Hurricane Forte does not affect weed seeds.Therefore, the risk of re-infection of the area remains.

Positive and negative sides

Among the advantages of the drug Hurricane Forte, it should be noted:

• easy preparation of solution for treatment;
• an effective formula that allows the active substance to quickly penetrate into tissues;
• sufficiency of one-time use;
• safety for bees;
• enhanced action in moderately moist soil;
• economical consumption;
• environmental friendliness;
• anti-erosion effect, strengthening soil layers;
• safe for cultivated species when used correctly.

The main disadvantage is the continuous impact. Therefore, the use of Hurricane is unacceptable during the growing season of garden crops.
