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

To protect against weeds, different types of herbicides are used. Sugar beet fields are best cleared of weeds with Caribou herbicide, the effectiveness of which is high relative to dicotyledonous plants. The product acts negatively on weed shoots, completely destroying them.

Composition, purpose and release form of the Caribou weed remedy

Broad-spectrum herbicide belongs to the sulfomanylurea class, which is characterized by high activity, selectivity, long-lasting action.

The main substance of the drug "Caribou" triflusulfaron-methyl in the form of colorless crystals retains the stability of its properties in aqueous solutions.

The pesticide has a detrimental effect on weeds that are at different phases of development. Already 10-15 days after getting on the leaves of weeds, they die. But the weeds that appeared after processing do not stop growing.

The manufacturer of the herbicide "Caribou" Moscow company "FMS Corporation" produces the drug in packages of 150 grams. 4 packs are in a 600g foil bag.

Preparative form is a powder with active substance, fillers and surface-active substances (surfactants). When diluted with water, a stable suspension of the product is obtained.

Mechanism of drug action

The substance trifulsulfaron-methyl acts on shoots of weeds within 10-14 days. Already 4-5 hours after spraying, weeds show signs of wilting.The absorption of the agent occurs through the leaves. And in wet weather, the pesticide gets into the ground, penetrating inside the plants through the roots.

Blocks the pesticide in weed plants carbohydrate metabolism. This stops the growth of grasses due to the blockage of cell division.

The drug has no effect on the development of sugar beets. Temporary yellowing of the leaves of the crop may occur if Caribou is used in hot (above 25 degrees Celsius) or cold (below 10 degrees) weather.

Speed and symptoms of impact

The action of the drug is active when the weather is dry and the air temperature is in the range of 15-25 degrees Celsius.

The first signs of wilting are especially pronounced within 7-10 days. Sugar beet fields are finally freed from weeds 15 days after spraying.

The effectiveness of the product will decrease if it starts to rain after treatment.

Herbicide Benefits

Advise farmers to use Caribou in their sugar beet fields to:

• control broadleaf weeds;
• destroy completely weeds within 10-14 days;
• clear the field of harmful plants before harvesting root crops;
• do not be afraid of the harmful effects of pesticides on human he alth, the environment, insects, birds.

Combine Caribou with other pesticides. The tool is convenient to store and transport.

Preparing the working solution of the drug

Prepare the tank mix on the day of spraying the area with cultivated plants. At the same time, sugar beet seedlings should reach such a height that the rows close.

Mix herbicide powder with a small amount of water until completely dissolved. Then water is added to the norm and the mixer is turned on again. It is necessary to pour in a product containing surfactants.

Use ready mix

Instructions for using "Caribou" consists of the following steps:

1. 30 grams of powder are taken per hectare of sugar beets. Together with the surfactant preparation "Trend 90" (200 ml), 200 liters of the pesticide mixture are obtained.
2. The first treatment should be scheduled when weeds have grown to cotyledon stage.
3. The second time should be sprayed after 1-2 weeks when the second wave of weeds appears.
4. Choose sunny, calm weather for processing, with an air temperature in the range of 15-20 degrees Celsius.

"Caribou" quickly decomposes in the soil, which does not prevent the field from being used for crops in the future.

Safety Application

When working with herbicide tank mixes, safety rules must be followed. The use of personal protective equipment cannot be ignored: rubber gloves, work clothes, respiratory mask, headgear.

After the spraying procedure, you should take a shower, disinfect clothes. In case of contact with the solution on the skin and mucous membranes, be sure to rinse them with water. And in case of poisoning, drink activated charcoal tablets, induce vomiting.

Degree of drug toxicity

Relates "Caribou" to drugs with the 3rd class of toxicity. This means that the treatment against weeds is:

• far from water bodies, places of human recreation, settlements, at least 2 kilometers;
• when the wind speed is about 3-4 meters per second;
• before 7am or after 10pm;
• with notification of beekeepers whose apiaries are nearby.

You need to be aware that herbicides accumulate in the soil over time, so you need to take this into account when using the plot for crops.

Compatible with dicotyledonous herbicides

The effectiveness of Caribou increases when used in conjunction with dicotyledonous weed herbicides containing phenmedifam and desmedifam. The tank mixture destroys weeds that are insensitive to the means: mountaineer bird and knotty, white gauze, all types of veronica, chickweed.

They fight against thistle and thistle with the drug "Caribou" mixed with agents based on clopyralid.

Compatibility is determined by the solubility of drugs. It is not recommended to use the mixture when receiving sediment.

How to store properly

Keep the wettable powder in a tightly closed container. It should not be stored in rooms where livestock and poultry feed, food is located.

Do not leave powder bags in sunny places, in the rain. The whole working solution is used without leaving it in the tanks.

Are there any analogues

Farmers use Miura herbicide against weeds in sugar beet fields. He fights not only with cereals, but also dicotyledonous weeds, along with the preparations "Pilot", "Biceps", "Hacker".
