How to properly prepare a working tool

To prepare a working solution, you must perform a series of sequential operations:

1. In a special ceramic or enamel bowl, a mother liquor is made by measuring the required amount of the drug.

Non-agricultural land is cultivated at any time - from spring to the first frosts. For 1 hectare of cultivated area, 0.12-0.35 kilograms of Anchor 85 herbicide per 1 hectare area.

Weeding plantings of pine and spruce (at the age of coniferous trees at least 5 years old) is carried out from spring to late autumn with a consumption of the drug 0.15-0.2 kilograms per hectare of plantings.

The working substance is consumed in the amount of 100-300 liters per 1 hectare (depending on the type and size of weeds, soil and climatic conditions). The most effective chemical agent is at a height of weeds up to 20 cm. Anchor 85 herbicide is resistant to precipitation. The effectiveness of the process is not affected by rain if it has passed an hour after spraying.
