Glifogold herbicide: instructions for use, mechanism of action and consumption rates

Weed vegetation does not allow to get a full-fledged harvest, prevents the vegetation of agricultural crops. The use of herbicides is the chemical weeding of crops. Preparations of continuous action are able to clear the soil of any kind of weeds, prepare the fields for sowing. Consider the possibilities of the herbicide Glyfogold - properties, instructions for use, consumption rates.

Composition, purpose and form of release of the drug Glyphogold

The herbicide belongs to the class of organophosphorus substances, its active substance is glyphosate at a concentration of 360 grams per liter. Available as an aqueous solution.

The manufacturer recommends using the herbicide in the post-emergence period, at the beginning of the vegetative processes in weeds. The active ingredient has a contact and systemic effect on susceptible weeds.

Glifogold is used as a drug of continuous and selective action in the following cases:

• for cleaning orchards and vineyards;
• to eliminate weeds in the fields of cereals, potatoes, corn, sunflower;
• treatment of fallows, fields before sowing;
• weed removal of alienated areas along roadsides, near industrial facilities;
• treatment of parks and recreation areas.

The activity of the herbicide applies to the following types of vegetation:

• annual and perennial dicotyledonous and grass weeds;
• hard-to-remove malicious species - thistle and field bindweed, other species;
• shrubs and trees - willow, alder, elm, acacia;
• wide range of herbaceous vegetation.

The herbicide is bottled in 20 liter plastic cans.

Advantages in comparison with analogues

The undoubted advantages of Glyphogold are:

• comprehensive action on sensitive objects - from the ground to the roots, the destruction of overgrown weed rhizomes;
• complete and rapid decomposition in the soil, which does not restrict crop rotation, allows use before sowing in fallows;
• not toxic to protected crops;
• has a pronounced contact effect, quickly absorbed by the green part of the weeds, which allows you to choose a lower rate when spraying.

The drug has a wide range of herbicidal action, the regulations for use have been worked out and tested.

Mechanism of action

Glyphosate is absorbed by the surface part of the weeds, enters the conducting system and spreads through all tissues, reaching the root.

Herbicide stops the production of amino acids, which leads to inhibition of vegetation, and then to the death of the plant. Foliage loses turgor, turns yellow, growth points die off, plants bend, dry out.

Glyphosate that gets into the soil is not dangerous for plants, as it is not absorbed by the roots.

Important: when using a herbicide, remember that this is a continuous action substance - it destroys many types of vegetation.

Consumption rates for different plants

When choosing consumption rates, it is important to take into account the characteristics of clogging, types of destroyed plants and protected crops:
