Cassius: instructions for use of the herbicide and composition, dosage and analogues

Herbicides against annual and perennial weeds allow you to protect crops from clogging and oppression by unwanted vegetation. Consider the rules for processing corn and potatoes with Cassius, a selective herbicide, its effect and purpose, dosage and consumption per hectare, what it can be combined with, what can be replaced and how to store.

Composition and release form of herbicide "Cassius"

"Cassius" contains rimsulfuron as an active ingredient, in the amount of 250 g per kg. The manufacturer - CJSC "Schelkovo Agrokhim", produces the drug in the form of a water-soluble powder, in polymer cans with a capacity of 0.5 kg.

Appointment of funds

Cassius is a systemic herbicide that has a selective effect. Designed for the destruction of 1-year-old and perennial 2-submultiple and cereal weeds in areas with corn and potatoes. It is used in agriculture, in fields and farm plots, it is not used in household plots.

Working principle

Rimsulfuron stops the synthesis of acetolactate synthase, as a result, cell division at the growth points of the aerial part and in the roots stops. The drug solution is absorbed mainly by the leaves, for this reason, its effectiveness is not affected by the level of moisture in the soil.

Cassius herbicide acts quickly - after a few hours, weed growth stops, symptoms of oppression - chlorosis, anthocyanin coloration, deformation of shoots and leaves, tissue necrosis - begin to appear 2-3 days after treatment. Completely weeds perish for 5-15 days. The protective effect lasts the entire growing season.

Dosage and instructions for use

Maize spraying is carried out when the plants have 2-6 leaves, the weeds will be in the early stages of development. Application rate - 0.04 l per ha. From wheatgrass and weed cereals, corn is sprayed when the weeds are 10-15 cm high, the application rate is 0.05 liters per ha. When 2-fold spraying with "Kassius" in a mixture with 0.02 l of surfactant "Satellite" on the 1st and 2nd wave of weeds, with an interval between treatments of 1.5-3 weeks, the consumption rate is 0.03 l per ha. Spend 200-300 liters per ha, waiting period - 60 days.

Potatoes are treated in a mixture with the surfactant "Satellit" after hilling, when weeds have 1-4 leaves, wheatgrass will grow to a height of 10-15 cm. Application rate - 0.05 l per ha, consumption - 200 -300 liters per ha. With 2-fold treatment with Cassius for 2 waves of weeds (after hilling and for weeds at the stage of 1-4 leaves), the application rate and consumption of the solution are the same as for corn.

Safety precautions when working with the drug

"Cassius" - a herbicide with hazard class 3 for humans and bees. With low-toxic drugs, you need to work in protective clothing, with the obligatory use of a respirator, goggles and gloves. When mixing the solution and spraying, do not remove protective equipment, do not eat, drink, or smoke. Wash hands and face with soap and water after finishing work.

If there are signs of poisoning - slight irritation of the mucous membranes of the eyes and nose, inhibition of movement - consult a doctor. In case of contact with skin, eyes, rinse them with warm running water for 15 minutes.

Tool Compatibility

Cassius herbicide is effective when used alone, but to enhance the effect on corn plots, it is recommended to mix it with pesticides based on 2,4-D, on potato plots - with Zontran.

For general use, first test mixing a small amount of both drugs in a separate container.If the solution has changed physical and chemical properties (color, temperature has changed, a precipitate has fallen, seething is noted), you cannot use 2 products together.

Herbicide storage

Conditions for transportation and storage of Cassius - temperature range from -25 °С to +35 °С. Store the pesticide in dark, dry warehouses, next to other agricultural preparations, in production packaging. Limit the access of animals and children to the premises, do not store medicines, food, animal feed in it.

The shelf life of Cassius herbicide is 2 years. After the expiration of the storage time, the drug should be disposed of. The diluted solution should be stored for no more than a day, after which it greatly loses its effectiveness. It is recommended to dilute the solution in the volume required for use within one working day. Pour the remaining liquid onto the area not used for planting.

What can I replace?

For use in agricultural analogues of the herbicide "Cassius" means are considered: "Altis", "Arkan", "Arpad", "Basis", "Grims", "Dandy", "Kordus "and" Cordus Plus "," Mais "," Prefect "," Rangoli-Tyrant "," Rimanol "," Remus "," Rimeks "," Romulus "," Taurus "," Thesis "," Titus "and" Titus Plus", "Trimmer", "Cicero", "Shantus", "Escudo". All of them contain rimsulfuron as an active ingredient.

Cassius is a systemic herbicide for use in agriculture. They process corn crops and potato plantings from annual and perennial weeds. Destroys many types of 2-lobed and cereal weeds, including those with a highly developed root system, such as wheatgrass. Treatment of weeds in the early stages of development can replace the pre-sowing treatment of the site with herbicides. The drug is not phytotoxic if used in the recommended dosage, does not interfere with crop rotation, resistance is not observed.Shows active action regardless of weather conditions. Low toxicity to animals and insects. It is economically consumed, which is why it is economically advantageous to use it on large areas sown with corn or planted with potatoes. The death of weeds occurs quickly - in 1-2 weeks, so they do not have time to interfere with the growth of cultivated plants. The biological effect of herbicide treatment continues throughout the growing season until harvest.
