Herbicide Nopasaran: instructions for use and composition, consumption rates and analogues

Manufacturers produce many herbicidal preparations that are allowed to be used both in plantings of most cultivated plants, and exclusively for one crop. The last category includes the herbicide "Nopasaran", so it is used only in fields with winter and spring rapeseed. Before you purchase a product, you should study the regulations for its use, as well as consumption rates, in order to get the desired effect and destroy weeds.

Composition and formulation of "Nopasaran"

The composition of the post-emergence herbicidal preparation "Nopasaran" includes two active substances.These are metazachlor at a concentration of 375 grams per liter of the chemical, and imazamox at 25 grams per liter of the agent. The effectiveness of the herbicide on weeds is due to the different influence on their growth and development of two active substances.

The chemical goes on sale in the form of a suspension concentrate, which is packaged in plastic canisters with a volume of 10 liters. The manufacturer of the post-emergence herbicide is BASF, which has a good reputation in the market for crop protection products. You can buy a herbicide both in a specialized store and by ordering online.

Scope and purpose

Herbicide preparation is used by farmers to destroy cereal and dicotyledonous annual and perennial weeds in crops of winter and spring rapeseed. However, before purchasing a chemical, please note that it is only approved for use in the CLEARFIELD production system.This system is a unique combination of Nopasaran herbicide and high-yielding rapeseed hybrids that show resistance to this chemical. The stability of such hybrid crop varieties was obtained by the traditional breeding method, without the use of genetic engineering.

Just one application of a chemical agent during the growing season allows you to cope not only with already sprouted weeds, but also provide an impenetrable herbicide screen on the ground through which new waves of harmful vegetation cannot grow. The effectiveness of the post-emergence herbicide is noted even on stony soils and in adverse weather conditions.

The active components of the chemical penetrate into the tissue of weeds both through the leaves and stems, and through the root system. After that, they are systemically transported to the growth points of weeds, where they lead to a violation of the synthesis of amino acids, which ultimately causes the death of unwanted vegetation.Due to the fact that the herbicide contains two active ingredients with different mechanisms of action, resistance was not recorded even when applied for several consecutive seasons.

Among the benefits of the chemical, farmers note the following points:

1. Wide range of annual and perennial weeds against which Nopasaran herbicide works successfully.
2. Possibility of single use throughout the season to achieve results.
3. Improve the quality of the harvested crop.
4. Lack of sensitivity of active ingredients to rain, which will pass a few hours after treatment.
5. High quality German manufacturer.
6. No phytotoxicity, subject to the regulations for use.

Consumption rate and use

It must be remembered that to enhance the effectiveness of the drug is used with an adhesive that provides better fixation of the working fluid on the surface of weeds. The instructions that the manufacturer attaches to each chemical canister indicate the consumption rates that must be followed when processing the field, they are presented in the table.

Cultivated plantHerbicide rateFeatures of application and consumption of working fluid Spring rapeseed

1200 ml per hectare of field and 1 liter of adhesive "Metolat"	Planting treatment is carried out when up to 3 true leaves are formed on the cultivated plant , the initial stage of weeds. Consumption of working solution - from 200 to 350 liters per hectare the same amount of adhesive	Treat the field when 1 to 3 true leaves are formed on rapeseed (the initial phase of weed development).Consumption of working solution - from 200 to 350 liters per hectare

The working fluid is prepared immediately before the treatment, otherwise the effectiveness of the herbicide is reduced. Half of the total volume of clean water is poured into the pre-washed sprayer tank and the recommended rate of the chemical is added. Turn on the stirrer and wait for complete dissolution of the drug, after which add the adhesive and the remaining water, turn on the stirrer again.

Processing of fields from weeds is carried out early in the morning or in the evening, after sunset, at a minimum wind speed, making sure that drops of the solution do not fall on neighboring plantings.

Safety precautions when working with the tool

The instructions for use indicate that care must be taken when working with the herbicidal preparation. Processing is carried out after putting on protective clothing.It is also recommended to use a respirator to prevent chemical vapors from entering the respiratory tract.

After spraying, the farmer should take a shower and wash all clothes. In case of accidental contact of liquid with mucous surfaces or in the eyes, rinse them with plenty of water and contact a medical facility.

Herbicide compatibility

The instructions from the manufacturer indicate that Nopasaran is not recommended for use in tank mixes with other chemicals.

How to store properly

According to safety regulations, the chemical agent must be stored in a separate utility room, which is locked with a key, with minimum humidity and a temperature that does not exceed 30 degrees Celsius.

Means-substitutes

There is no complete analogue of the active ingredient in the herbicide "Nopasaran". If necessary, you can replace the drug with chemicals such as Roundup or Agent.
