Herbicide Biceps Garant: instructions for use, principle of action, consumption rate

The yield of vegetable and grain crops in large agricultural enterprises largely depends on how clean the fields with crops are from weeds. The herbicide "Biceps Garant" is successfully used for processing beets and buckwheat. Thanks to its multi-component composition, it successfully fights more than 40 types of weeds. It is necessary to know the features of the pesticide and the rules for its use so that the action is effective and the harm is minimal.

Composition, form of release and purpose of the drug "Biceps Garant"

Herbicide "Biceps Garant" is intended for extermination of dicotyledonous weeds of an annual cycle and cereal plants on crops of all types of beets and buckwheat. Substances that have the main inhibitory effect on weeds include:

Principle, speed and symptoms of impact

Herbicide "Biceps Garant" has translaminar properties. It is able to penetrate inside the plant, but it does not spread through its vascular system. As a result of penetration into the leaf plate, tissue damage occurs, cell growth and division stops, and the wax layer ceases to form.

The speed of action is influenced by soil moisture and the content of organic matter in it. The drier and more fertile it is, the less active the herbicide is.

After spraying, the first visible signs of pesticide action appear after 3-7 days. First, the weeds brighten, their growth stops. After 2-3 weeks, they completely dry and die. The greatest effect of the herbicide "Biceps Garant" is observed at temperatures from 10 ⁰С to 25 ⁰С.

How to use ready-made mix

The ready-made solution is used in the amount of 200 liters per hectare for any of the treatments:

• single - in the phase of four beet leaves;
• double - in the stage of 2-4 leaves of weeds with an interval of two weeks;
• threefold - in the phase of the cotyledon leaves of weeds, and then - after 1-2 weeks.

Crops should not be sprayed less than 6 hours before rainfall or during heavy dew. It is not recommended to carry out the procedure under other adverse conditions - drought, heat, frost.
