Pallas herbicide: composition and form of release, instructions for use

Weed grass is one of the main enemies of cultivated plants. Growing, weeds take nutrients from the soil, thereby depriving field and horticultural crops. In addition, they shade crops, depriving them of the necessary amount of sunlight, and can become carriers of diseases. An innovative herbicide, Pallas, will come to the aid of an agronomist who does not want to endure the presence of weeds on the site.

Composition, release form and purpose

Pallas is an innovative herbicide produced in the form of an oil dispersion. Its function is the destruction of weeds that have “crawled” in the crops of grain crops (spring or winter wheat).Designed to control overgrowing weeds in the spring-autumn growing season.

Effective in the fight against such varieties of weeds:

• common broomstick;
• ragweed ragweed;
• carrion rapeseed;
• Highlander;
• tenacious bedstraw;
• Starry medium;
• shepherd's bag;
• Highlander bindweed;
• chamomile;
• common ragwort;
• clover;
• purple larva and others.

Pallas herbicide operation principle

The base substance of the herbicide is pyroxulam. This component inhibits acetolactate synthase (an enzyme), which disrupts the synthesis of amino acids in the weed. The drug penetrates the weed, being transported along the leaves or roots, and as a result inhibits the growth and development of weeds.

Pros and cons

Pallas is highly effective in killing weeds and is therefore very popular with farmers.

Herbicide benefits:

1. Highly effective against annual and some perennial weeds.
2. No aftereffect. The drug is safe for subsequent crops in the rotation.
3. High technology. The herbicide can be used in spring or autumn, at the very beginning of crop development (from the moment the first leaves form).
4. High consistency. Weeds stop growing as soon as the herbicide penetrates the plant tissues.
5. Activity at various temperatures - from 8 to 25 degrees.

The disadvantages of the drug are not so many in comparison with the advantages. One of the downsides is human toxicity and the need to use personal protective equipment when spraying the herbicide.

Rules for preparing a working solution

Pallas herbicide application technology:

1. The drug is thoroughly mixed right in the package.
2. Sprayer tank one third filled with water.
3. Pour the right amount of the drug into the water (see instructions), which will be required for one refueling of the sprayer.
4. If necessary, add water to the container to the desired volume.
5. The mixture is thoroughly mixed.
6. After applying the solution, thoroughly rinse the free container with water several times.

Recommended ambient temperature for herbicide application is 8-25 degrees.

Consumption rate and instructions for use

When distributing the herbicide, the following application rates are taken into account:

1. For winter crops. 0.4 g of herbicide is distributed per 1 hectare. The object of destruction is some dicotyledonous weeds and a common broom. Crops are sprayed in autumn, in the early stages of development, both field crops and weeds.
2. For spring crops. 0.4-0.5 g of herbicide is distributed per 1 hectare. The object of destruction is wild oats and common broomstick. Crops are sprayed in the spring before the crops come out in the tube, in the early stages of weed development.

Means toxicity

Pallas is considered non-toxic to birds, mammals, fish, bees. But it is detrimental to algae. As for the effect on cultivated plants, the product does not adversely affect their growth and development.

People working with herbicide should take precautions and take care to protect the skin, respiratory organs and mucous membranes.

If signs of illness are detected as a result of Pallas poisoning, the victim is taken out of the contaminated object, freed from tight clothing and doctors are called.If the drug has got on the skin, you should carefully, trying not to rub, remove the remnants of the product with a piece of cloth or cotton wool. The contaminated area is washed with soapy water. If the drug gets into the eyes, the organs of vision are immediately washed with running water (the eyelids must be open).

If herbicide is swallowed, rinse mouth with water. The victim should drink several glasses of activated charcoal water (1 tablet per kilogram of body weight). Irritating the back wall of the pharynx, you need to provoke vomiting. This procedure is repeated several times. After such manipulations, the victim should drink a glass of water with activated charcoal (in the same proportions) and immediately receive medical assistance.

Attention! There is no specific antidote for Pallas. Treatment of poisoning should be symptomatic.

Compatibility with other substances

The drug is compatible with many herbicides, insecticides, nitrogen fertilizers (liquid).Pallas is also combined with adhesives, adjuvants. Thanks to this combination, Pallas' dependence on weather conditions is reduced, and the effectiveness against moderately sensitive weed species is increased. Do not mix with organophosphate insecticides and crop growth regulators. This combination can damage the plant.

Council. In each case, you should first check the drugs for compatibility. If the mixture is prepared in a tank, direct mixing of herbicides without first diluting them with water should be avoided.

Terms and conditions of storage

Pallas should be stored in a dry, ventilated place and always in undamaged original packaging. For storage, it is better to allocate a separate room. The storage temperature should not fall below -10 degrees and rise above +40 degrees. The drug is explosion and fireproof, can be stored for 2 years.

Means analogues

According to the manufacturer, Pallas has no analogues. As an alternative means, herbicides for field crops can be used: Dialen Super, Pointer, Marathon and others. But they are significantly inferior to Pallas in efficiency.
