Post-emergence selective herbicides are used to treat crops and plantings of many agricultural crops. Let's consider the capabilities of "Haloxyfop" - a herbicide for broad-leaved crops. On what plants it can be used, against what weeds, the mechanism of its operation, use according to instructions, safety measures. What pesticides can the herbicide be combined with, how much and how to store it, what can it be replaced with.
Description, purpose and release form of the product
“Haloxyfop” is an emulsion concentrate, the active substance is haloxyfop-R-methyl.According to the method of penetration, the product belongs to systemic pesticides and has a selective effect on plants. Designed to combat 1-year-old weeds and perennial weeds on 2-subpart agricultural crops. Does not work against dicotyledonous weeds.
The mechanism of action of the drug "Haloxyfop"
The substance is absorbed into the tissues of the green parts and roots of weed species within 1 hour after spraying; an R-enantiomer is formed from it, which moves into the meristem and blocks its growth.
It acts quickly; signs (chlorosis, wilting, drying of tissues, acquisition of anthocyanin color) can be noticed after treatment on days 5-7. Weeds die after 1.5-2 weeks. The protection effect can continue until the end of the growing season, if the next “wave” of weeds does not arise. Haloxyfop, when used correctly, does not cause resistance in weed species. Not phytotoxic, in the ground the compound is broken down into simple substances by soil bacteria.
Instructions for use of herbicide
Do not spray crops on wet leaves or if rain is expected soon.
“Haloxyfop” is used to treat areas with cotton, rice, sunflower, beets, soybeans, flax, rapeseed, as well as areas with medicinal plants - echinacea, foxglove, macalea cordata. 1-year-old weeds are treated at the 2-4 leaf stage, before the tillering stage, perennials - when they reach a height of 10-15 cm. In this case, the crops should not obscure the weeds.
Security measures
"Haloxyfop" is moderately toxic to humans and animals (hazard class 2), moderately and slightly toxic to bees (classes 2 and 3). You cannot spray crops by airplane or near water bodies or fish farms. The herbicide is not used in private household plots.
Work with the drug “Haloxyfop” in protective clothing; be sure to wear gloves, a respirator or gas mask, and plastic goggles when diluting the solution and for spraying. Do not remove until work is completed. If symptoms of acute poisoning are observed (ptosis, diarrhea, difficulty breathing), immediately seek medical help.
Compatibility
“Haloxyfop” can be easily combined with drugs recommended for the destruction of 2-lobed weeds, and can be combined with insecticides. If there is no information about compatibility, you need to conduct a test by mixing a small volume of both substances. If a violent reaction does not occur with the release of heat, there is no change in the color of the solution, and no precipitate forms, the products are completely compatible.
Storage periods and rules
"Haloxyfop" can be stored for 3 years in its original packaging, with the lid tightly closed. Temperature: from -5 °C to +35 °C. The room should be dry and dark. Only store agrochemicals and fertilizers nearby. Products, medicines, and feed should not be stored in a warehouse together with the herbicide. It is necessary to ensure the safety of the drug from children and pets.
After 3 years of storage, the drug loses its effectiveness and becomes unsuitable for use. Prepare the herbicide solution in a volume that can be consumed during the working day. Store the herbicide solution for no longer than 1 day. Pour the remainder onto an area not used for plant cultivation.
