Meteor herbicide: instructions for use of fungicide and composition, dosage

Herbicides are drugs used over large areas to control weeds. They are able to stop the development of weeds and completely destroy most of them in a short period of time. Choose products suitable for certain crops. For example, for the treatment of crops of wheat, rye, corn, triticale, barley and oats, the Meteor herbicide can be used, treatment in accordance with the instructions for use does not harm crops.

Composition and release form of herbicide "Meteor"

The drug for weed control is available in the form of a suspension emulsion. This allows it to be retained after spraying on leaves and other plant parts. Herbicide consists of 2 components:

• 2,4-D acid 2-ethylhexyl ester - 300 grams\liter;
• florasulam - 6.25 grams/liter.

The first component of the mixture penetrates the weed through the leaves, the second one affects the foliage and root system. The presence of two components reduces the likelihood of developing weed resistance to the herbicide. The manufacturer, LLC "Frandessa", is located in the Republic of Belarus.

Produced in plastic cans with a capacity of 1, 5, 10, 20 liters, with a tight screw cap. It contains information on the spectrum of application of the substance, its composition, detailed instructions on how to use the herbicide, precautions and protection.

Speed, mechanism and range of action

Herbicide is used against dicotyledonous weeds, suitable for the destruction of chamomile, bedstraw, poppy and other pests on crops of spring and winter wheat, rye, oats, barley, corn, triticale (wheat-rye hybrid).The fields where crops are located for seeds are not cultivated.

Complete death of weeds occurs 2-3 weeks after the treatment of crops, the effect begins already 1 hour after spraying, becomes noticeable after 3-4 hours. A single treatment per season is enough to protect plants.

The active components of the herbicide affect all parts of the weeds. 2,4-D acid 2-ethylhexyl ether decomposes proteins, slows down the process of photosynthesis, provokes the destruction of starch and inulin present in plants. It provokes a violation of the water balance and metabolism in the tissues of a weed plant, without harming the sown crops. Florasulam blocks the production of enzymes necessary for the life of the plant.

Meteor herbicide benefits are:

• possibility of use at low, from +5 °С, temperatures;
• affects most dicotyledonous weeds;
• economy of use, convenience of emulsion formulation;
• can be used in tank mixes;
• sharing with other drugs.

It has a not too high cost and the ability to process crops from the appearance of the first leaves of cultivated plants to the tubing phase (in corn - until 6-7 leaves appear).

Consumption rate and application
