Description of the product
The drug "Shield" is an effective herbicide that helps control annual and perennial weeds. It also helps to get rid of unwanted trees and shrubs.
The product can be used at the stage of site development. It can be used at the stage of preparing beds for sowing and growing lawn grass. The substance is also often used along fences, greenhouses and paths.
The active component of the drug is glyphosate. Thanks to its special formula, the product is highly effective in different situations and helps get rid of all types of weeds. After using the drug, the weed does not grow again. This is due to the effect of the substance on the above-ground parts of weeds and their roots.
Operating principle
The active substance of "Shield" is absorbed into the weeds through the leaves and moves throughout the plant. The product prevents the synthesis of amino acids, which causes plant death. Remaining liquid can be washed away from plants into the soil by precipitation. The root system of weeds does not absorb glyphosate from the soil.
When the active substance begins to act, the weeds acquire a light green color and then turn yellow. Their tops become discolored and turgor is lost. Then the plants dry out.
