Tongara desiccant: instructions for herbicide use, dosage and analogues

In agriculture, it is important not only to grow a crop, but also to harvest it in the period of maximum readiness for consumption or storage. For these purposes, the use of a desiccant - the herbicide "Tongara" is useful. It can improve product quality, dry seeds, achieve uniform ripening, reduce moisture levels and simplify, speed up harvesting.

Active ingredient and release form of the desiccant "Tongara"

Tongara is a derivative of dipyridylium and is a continuous contact herbicide. The active substance is diquat, 150 grams per liter. Available as an aqueous solution (BP, formulation), in 10 liter canisters.

Purpose and principle of operation of the tool

Tongara herbicide is used to treat the following plants before harvesting:

1. Sunflower.
2. Peas.
3. Rapeseed.
4. Alfalfa.
5. Carrot.
6. Cabbage.
7. Beets.
8. Clover.
9. Turneps.

• Broad beans.
• Soya.
• Radishes.
• Crops of grain crops for seed material.

"Tongara" is a desiccant, that is, a substance that can reduce the amount of moisture in plant tissues. With its help, it is possible to accelerate the ripening of the crop, reduce seed losses, facilitate harvesting, reduce storage losses due to the fact that the products will contain less moisture, and the risk of rotting is minimized.

When applying a herbicide, the process of absorption of moisture by plants from the soil slows down, which leads to the accumulation of nutrients in seeds, fruits and roots. This contributes to a more uniform and faster ripening, as well as drying of the green mass, which helps to harvest products with minimal loss.

Consumption rate and herbicide application

The consumption rate of the desiccant "Tongara" is 1.5-2 liters of the drug per hectare of cultivated plantings. This ensures high biological efficiency under any, even the most unfavorable, weather conditions. With the help of "Tongara" you can perform desiccation of the crop in 5-7 days. Under favorable weather conditions, the application rate can be reduced by half without reducing the effectiveness of the drug.

Safety precautions

"Tongara" belongs to the 2nd class of danger for humans and the 3rd class of danger for bees.This means that in relation to humans and warm-blooded animals, the drug is a dangerous compound and requires compliance with spraying rules and personal protection. In relation to bees, "Tongara" is a low-hazard pesticide, however, capable of killing from 1 to 5% of beneficial insects. To minimize harm, spraying is done in the morning and evening hours, when there are no bees in the summer. It also requires a distance of 2-3 kilometers from apiaries and single hives.

When processing, the following rules must be observed:

1. Do not drink, eat or smoke while working.
2. Wear closed clothes.
3. Protect your face with a mask or respirator, goggles, and hands with gloves.
4. Do not allow people, domestic and farm animals to be in the cultivated areas.
5. Do not apply at high temperatures, in direct sunlight.

It is necessary to avoid getting the solution on the skin and mucous membranes. If this happens, rinse the affected areas with clean water. Seek medical attention if irritation occurs.

Tool Compatibility

On sunflower crops, the drug can be successfully combined with urea. In the case of other products, it is necessary to perform test mixing to determine whether or not individual products are incompatible with Tongara.

Pesticide storage rules

Tongara desiccant is stored under the following conditions:

1. Closed containers labeled as herbicides.
2. Moderate temperature without fluctuations and high humidity.
3. Protect from direct sunlight.

The drug should be kept out of the reach of strangers, children and pets.It must be stored in specially designed rooms. It is forbidden to keep the herbicide together with feed or food, and also to use it after the expiration date of the drug (36 months from the date of manufacture). Unused leftovers and expired products must be disposed of. Throwing in the trash is prohibited.

Analogues of the drug

According to the active substance used, the desiccant "Tongara" has the following analogues in the form of an aqueous solution:

1. Volat.
2. Golden Ring.
3. "Hammer".
4. Reglone Super.
5. Reglon Forte.
6. "Dry wind".

The use of desiccants does not harm the crop, the active substance does not accumulate in plants and soil, does not affect the germination and vegetation of the crop of the next agricultural year.When used properly, the desiccant "Tongara" and its analogues have a minimal toxic effect on the environment and people.
