Spraying cultivated crops with herbicides during the period of weed germination helps protect them from overgrowing and reducing yields. Let's consider the purpose and principle of action of Prometrin, the active substance and the release form. How to use the product according to the instructions, what dosage is needed and what consumption. What similar herbicides can be replaced, how to store it, what pesticides it can be combined with.

The soil is cultivated before sowing, during it and before crop germination. The highest effectiveness is observed on moist soil; the substance has a long-lasting protective effect (during the entire growing season). A noticeable effect of the herbicide can be observed already on days 2-4, the death of weeds occurs on days 7-12.
