Weeds are serious enemies of flower beds, orchards and orchards. A wide range of measures has been developed to combat them, differing in effectiveness, purpose and principle of action. Effective and reliable is "Agrokiller" from garden weeds. Consider what composition is characteristic of this universal remedy, on what principle it works, and also what advantages it has over other similar drugs.

Composition, purpose and form of release of the drug "Agrokiller"

Agrokiller universal herbicide is available in the form of an aqueous solution packaged in bottles of 40, 90 and 500 milliliters (for amateur gardeners), as well as 1 and 5 liters (for owners of large-scale farms).

The active substance of the drug is the isopropylamine s alt of glyphosate, a derivative of the amino acid glycine. It is a popular herbicide designed to kill various types of weeds in both small and large areas. Agrokiller is suitable for use in overgrown areas that have been abandoned for a long time.

Effective drug in the fight against the following types of weeds:

• hogweed;
• wheatgrass;
• thistle;
• horse sorrel;
• nettle;
• dandelion;
• burdock;
• wormwood;
• buttercup;
• plantain.

The principle of action on weeds

Agrokiller herbicide works according to this principle:

1. It hits the green part of the weed plant.
2. Absorbed.
3. Spreads on its own through the plant organism to the roots.

The substances of the drug are absorbed within 6-8 hours. As a result of a violation of the synthesis of amino acids, the vital activity of the weed plant stops.

Advantages over analogues

The "Agrokiller" tool from the Russian company "August" has a number of positive properties that set it apart from its competitors:

1. Due to the high concentration of the active substance - the ability to remove weeds from fields, gardens and summer cottages, which are most difficult to exterminate.
2. Death of green mass and rhizomes after weed treatment with the drug.
3. Extensive range of air temperatures for soil treatment.
4. No adverse impact on crops.
5. Possibility of tillage just before the start of sowing.

Consumption rate for different plants

For the destruction of annual and perennial weeds on the site, a different dosage is used.

In the first case, 30-40 ml of the drug must be diluted in three liters of water.

The second requires a concentrated solution, so at least 50 milliliters of Agrokiller is diluted in the same volume of water.

The indicated dosages apply to the cultivation of land plots with an area of about one hundred square meters.

How to prepare a working solution

To prepare a working herbicide solution, it is necessary to dilute from 30 to 50 ml of Agrokiller (depending on the type and nature of weeds) in 3 liters of water.

The entire volume of the prepared product should be used immediately, since the solution is not subject to long-term storage.

Garden processing

According to the instructions for use of the Agrokiller preparation, to clean the site from weeds, it is necessary to choose quiet and calm weather without wind and precipitation. The most favorable time for the procedure is morning or evening. Heat and bright sunlight lead to a decrease in the herbicidal effect. Also, the effect will be less pronounced if it rains soon after treatment - especially within 5-6 hours.

It is recommended to use the herbicide "Agrokiller" two weeks before the start of planting and sowing. During this period of time, all available weeds will weaken and die.

You need to spray only the aerial part of the weed. The herbicidal agent will penetrate to the rest of its parts on its own. This procedure should be carried out in the phase of active growth, that is, before flowering and seed formation.

Since the drug has not an instantaneous, but a gradual effect on weeds, it is undesirable to loosen the soil and weed weeds during the first week after treatment. The result of the application will be noticeable after at least a week.

Precautions for using the product

Like any other chemical, Agrokiller requires special precautions.

Before starting work, put on personal protective equipment - goggles, a mask and gloves. To prepare the solution, you must take a separate plastic dish, which is no longer used for any purpose.

After finishing the weed treatment, wash your hands and face thoroughly with an antiseptic and take a warm shower.

Degree of drug toxicity

"Agrokiller" belongs to the third class of toxicity and is moderately dangerous. When using it, it is important to strictly follow the instructions and observe safety measures - only in this case the solution will not harm human he alth and will not have a negative impact on pets and insects.

Compatibility with other substances

Agrokiller based on glyphosate is compatible with fertilizers and pesticides that have a slightly acidic or neutral reaction. However, drug manufacturers do not advise using it in mixtures, as its effectiveness may decrease. In addition, due to large volumes and high concentrations, increased toxic effects are likely.

Expiration date and storage rules

The period of storage of the herbicide preparation "Agrokiller" is 5 years from the date of production. It must be stored in its original packaging, placed in a dark and cool place.

Analogues

Analogues of "Agrokiller" include other herbicidal preparations based on glyphosate - "Hurricane", "Empire", "Tornado", "Roundup", "Argument Star" and "Triumph".
