Aminka Flo is a herbicide designed to control annual dicotyledonous weeds, including plants resistant to 2,4-D and MCPA. The product also helps to destroy some problematic perennial species in cereal and corn plantings. To achieve the desired results, the instructions for using the herbicide “Aminka Flo” should be strictly followed.
Compound
The product is available in the form of an emulsion concentrate. 1 liter of product contains the following active ingredients:
- 550 grams 2,4-D;
- 7.4 grams of florasulam.
Each of the components of the product has its own unique effect:
- 2,4-D – inhibits the process of photosynthesis.Under the influence of this element, hydrolytic breakdown of proteins, starch and inulin is observed. There is also a sharp decrease in the supply of potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen to plants. Under the influence of this substance, water metabolism is disrupted, turgor deteriorates and the plant withers. This is accompanied by the growth of foliage tissue, twisting and deformation of petioles and leaf blades, and the formation of additional roots. As a result, the energy balance in plants is disrupted, and the processes of photosynthesis and carbohydrate metabolism stop. This causes the death of weeds.
- Florasulam – characterized by a systemic effect. This substance enters plants mainly through foliage and travels well through them. In sensitive varieties, the composition inhibits the enzyme acetolactate. This entails the cessation of biosynthesis of branched chain amino acids. As a result, cell division stops, which leads to the death of the weed.
What is it used for?
The product can be used to treat plantings of cereals and corn. Thanks to this, it is possible to get rid of many types of weeds. The herbicide demonstrates activity against field bindweed, tenacious bedstraw, yellow thistle, odorless chamomile and other problem plants.

- Easy to plan treatments. This is due to the wide range of uses.
- Fast herbicidal effect. It is caused by high systemic activity.
- No negative impact on the following crops in crop rotation.
Mode of application
In order for the use of the substance to give the desired effect, you must strictly follow the instructions. In this case, you must follow the dosages indicated in the table:
Usage rate | Culture | Weeds | Processing Features | Waiting period |
0,3-0,5 | Spring and winter wheat, spring barley | Annual weeds and some perennial dicotyledons | Treatment of crops is carried out at the tillering stage and at the initial stages of weed growth. Winter plantings need to be processed in the spring. 200-400 liters of working solution are required per 1 hectare. | 60 (1) |
0,5 | Spring and winter wheat, spring barley | Annual weeds and some perennial dicotyledons | You can spray the plantings at the stage of emergence and in the early stages of weed development when the tenacious bedstraw predominates. 200-300 liters of working solution are required per 1 hectare. | 60 (1) |
Tips for beginners
For the use of the product to be effective, you must adhere to the following rules:
- Strictly follow the dosage and rules for preparing the working solution.
- To expand the spectrum of action of the drug, combine the product with anti-dicot herbicides based on sulfonylureas.
