Zeus herbicide: instructions for use, how to prepare a working solution

It is difficult to find a remedy for weeds that does not stop the growth and development of the root system of crops and does not cause significant damage to the fertile substrate, polluting it with chemical compounds. Herbicide "Zeus" is a unique drug that can be used to get rid of weeds without affecting cultivated plants and without aggravating the condition of the soil, provided that all the recommendations prescribed in the instructions are followed.
