Raspberry herbicides: types, instructions for use of weed preparations

Chemical agents of continuous action destroy not only weeds, but also all crops indiscriminately. For the needs of agriculture, selective herbicides are produced that kill certain plants without affecting fruit bushes, lawn grass, and corn plantations. The use of herbicides on raspberries eliminates the tedious weeding of beds from wheatgrass, celandine, milkweed, and amaranth. In an overgrown area, mulching does not guarantee a positive result.

Types of herbicides against weeds used on raspberries

Some chemicals are introduced into the ground, where they are absorbed by plant roots.Other products are sprayed on the surface of the stems and leaves of weeds, quickly decompose, do not poison the soil. So far, few selective herbicides for fruit bushes have been created. A plot for a raspberry plantation has to be treated a year before planting with continuous preparations.

Spring plants are sprayed:

• "Hurricane Forte";
• "Ataman";
• Buran;
• Roundup.

Weeds die when processing the site with Chistopol, Glyphos, Cosmic. To improve the effect of a chemical agent, urea is added to the soil, ammonium nitrate is added. If grass seeds germinate again, use one of these preparations again in autumn.

It is possible to destroy annual weeds when Treflurex or Treflan herbicides are introduced into the soil, and raspberries can be planted immediately.

In spring, plants are treated with a solution of Simazin. A systemic herbicide that blocks photosynthesis kills grasses, broadleaf weeds, but is not washed out of the ground for up to six months. For processing 1 ha 1 kg of powder.

Overview of popular tools

Domestic and foreign companies have created and continue to produce pesticides that are used by farmers, summer residents and gardeners.

Roundup

Herbicide, the active component of which is glyphosad, sticking to the surface of the stems and leaves, is sent to the cells through the pores, disrupts metabolism, the plant turns yellow and fades. "Roundup" has a viscous consistency, almost odorless, packaged in 100, 50, 5 ml ampoules, sold in 1 liter bottles, canisters. The active component of the drug enters the plant cells in 6 hours, spreads through the tissues in 7 days.

When using Roundup:

• all weeds die;
• improves seed germination;
• does not deteriorate soil structure.

You can plant raspberries on a herbicide-treated area not the next year, but immediately. The remedy copes with hogweed, thistle, nettle, couch grass, inhibits the growth of cereal grasses.

To prepare a solution, a viscous consistency is mixed with water, stored for no more than 7 days. To destroy annual weeds, 60 ml of the drug is combined with a bucket of liquid, to combat perennials, the dose is doubled.

The disadvantage of Roundup is that its composition kills beneficial bacteria that live in the soil, destroys both vegetable crops and fruit bushes.

Glisol

The herbicide developed by the Russian Research Institute, when absorbed by the leaves of plants, inhibits the synthesis of flavonoids and amino acids, moves along the stems to the roots. After treatment with Glisol, wheatgrass, thistle, dandelion and other perennial herbs die in 3 weeks.The effect of the drug is slowed down in rainy and cold weather.

The herbicide is marketed as an aqueous solution containing the glyphosate s alt. The product does not pollute nature, does not affect seeds. Treatment with the drug is performed on a dry day in the absence of wind.

Glyphos

Gardeners, who are tired of weeding the bed by hand, use herbicides to control weeds in raspberries. Care must be taken with Glyphos, since the drug destroys cultivated plants that come across on the way. The composition penetrates the leaves, is absorbed by the stems, which leads to the death of the root system.

The effect of the drug is not reduced by adverse weather, because it contains surfactants, water softener is added.

Annual herbs wither on the 4th day after treatment with Glyphos, the dosage for different weeds is indicated in the instructions for the drug, from 80 to 120 ml are dissolved in a bucket of water.

Volcano

Herbicide, which is made on the basis of isopropylamine s alt of glyphosate, destroys all weeds. The active component of the chemical agent penetrates into plant tissues, damages the roots in 2-3 days, stems and leaves turn yellow and dry out within three days.

The Vulkan preparation does not lose its effectiveness when diluted with technical water, when used in hot weather, in rainy weather.

To process a raspberry with an area of one hundred square meters, 20 to 60 ml of the substance will be required.

"Ataman"

Systemic herbicide, which is supplied to the market by a Ukrainian company specializing in the production of plant protection products, suppresses all processes occurring in weed tissues. "Ataman" is sprayed on the surface of leaves and stems, but also destroys the roots. The effect of pesticide treatment, which is carried out in early spring and after harvest, is noticeable after a few days."Ataman" copes with perennial weeds, performs the functions of desiccants - accelerates the ripening of crops.

Buran

Chemical preparation of continuous action is not dangerous for bees, animals, microorganisms living in the soil, but perfectly copes with dicotyledonous one- and perennial weeds, wild shrubs.

When spraying the herbicide "Buran", the composition from the leaves spreads to the point of growth, affects the roots. One treatment is enough to destroy weeds over a large area. The drug decomposes quickly, but does not penetrate the seeds through the soil.

"Dominator 360"

The pesticide, available as a solution, contains glyphosate, which is quickly absorbed by the aerial parts of plants. Substance destroys tissues, damages roots:

• field bindweed;
• thistles;
• wheatgrass;
• cane.

"Dominator-360" is sprayed before planting shrubs, vines, crops.

After herbicide treatment, perennial weeds live no more than two weeks.

Kosmik

Based on the isopropylamine s alt of glyphosate, it is an effective pesticide that is compatible with most weed control chemicals. "Cosmic" is not washed off by rain, quickly decomposes in the ground, does not accumulate in the stems and leaves of agricultural crops.

You can plant shrubs, sow seeds 2 weeks after treatment. The herbicide does not pose a danger to bacteria and worms living in the ground.

Hurricane Forte

Effectively fights weeds, removes creeping wheatgrass and thistle this Swiss preparation that acts in any weather, getting through the leaves into plant tissues, stops biochemical processes, accumulates in the meristem.

When opening the Hurricane Forte package, the substance is mixed in 2 liters of water, and after watering the area, the solution is sprayed onto the weeds. Weeds stop growing after two days, die after 10-14 days, and glyphosate breaks down into separate components. The herbicide is recommended to be used in early spring before the emergence of seedlings of cultivated plants.

Chistopol

To cultivate land for planting fruit bushes, farmers use a continuous action preparation, the result of which is noticeable a few days after spraying.

"Chistopol" is sold in plastic bottles, 30 ml is dissolved in 5 liters of water and is used to treat cereals and broadleaf weeds. Dosage is doubled when sprayed on perennials.

Which drug is better to choose?

In European countries that supply raspberries to the market, they use chemicals that are distinguished by selective action. One of the most effective herbicides used to treat plantations of fruit bushes is Stomp. BASF product:

1. Destroy various weeds.
2. Guarantees a long lasting effect.
3. Does not require rapid soil loosening.
4. UV resistant.

To combat annual herbs, you can use "Select", which is used to treat raspberries when 3 leaves appear. Aisles are recommended to be sprayed with glyphosates such as Roundup, Volcano, Hurricane Forte.

General rules for the use of herbicides on raspberries

It is advised to treat the area for planting berry bushes with continuous action chemicals no earlier than a year before planting raspberries.

In order not to damage the plantation when spraying herbicides, you need to try not to get the composition on the leaves of the bushes.

When preparing the solution, it is necessary to observe the doses indicated in the annotation to the drug.
