Herbicide Lancelot 450: instructions for use, mechanism of action and consumption rates

Herbicide designed for the treatment of areas occupied by grain crops, effectively copes with many dicotyledonous weed species. It has a toxic effect in direct contact with the plant, gives a quick and lasting result. After treatment with Lancelot 450 herbicide, weed suppression is noted within a day.

Composition, purpose and dosage form of the drug

Herbicide Lancelot is intended for the treatment of areas occupied by eared cereal crops. Effective against a variety of weedy dicotyledons, including malignant ones - cornflower, sow thistle, thistle, bedstraw.With the help of a herbicide, a sowing area is prepared for the next species in the rotation.

Lancelot includes two active connections:

• aminopyralid - 300 g/l;
• florasulam - 150 g/l.

Lancelot 450 is available in granulated form. The solution is an aqueous dispersion. The volume of the canister is 0.5 kg / 10 × 0.5 kg. Manufacturer - American company DOW AgroSciences.

The principle of the herbicide Lancelot

The active ingredients penetrate into plant tissues through the leaf surface, enter the meristem. There, hormonal synthesis is inhibited, the result is a failure of cell division. Thanks to the combination of two components, Lancelot copes with weeds that are resistant to the effects of sulfonylurea and dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, and does not allow the development of resistance.

Herbicidal action is fast. Growth processes stop after a day. And the complete death of weeds is noted after 2 weeks.

After applying the herbicide, strict crop rotation is required. Cultivated in cultivated area:

• cereals, corn - a month later;
• winter and fodder cereals, winter rapeseed - in the autumn of the same season;
• spring cereals, rapeseed, corn - next spring season;
• potatoes, flax, sunflowers, beets, cabbage, onions - a year later, subject to rainfall from 300 mm;
• fodder and food beans, carrots - after 1.5 years.

Advantages and disadvantages

Lancelot 450 is one of the most used herbicides. Its popularity is due to many advantages:

• the ability to destroy both the green and root parts of weeds;
• highly effective against weeds resistant to sulfonylurea and imidazolinones;
• the ability to kill the most malicious weeds - thistle, chamomile, thistle, ragweed, bedstraw;
• possibility of application up to the stage of the second internode in a cultivated species;
• economic optimization of crop rotation.

Farmers do not name any special shortcomings. One can only note the inefficiency of herbicide application on waterlogged soil, the inadmissibility of aviation spraying.

Weed control rates

The dosage is as follows:

How to prepare and use working mix?

The solution is made before use. Shake the canister thoroughly before opening. The tank of the spraying device is filled with water by a third. Add a measured amount of the drug. Add water to the edge of the tank with continuous stirring with a mechanical stirrer. The solution is prepared at the filling station, which is then cleaned.

Processing is carried out by spraying, at an air temperature of +10 to +25 °C. The herbicide is immune to moisture, its effectiveness is not reduced if it rains an hour after treatment. But do not spray if a cold snap is expected. Do not process crops that are weakened by disease or adverse weather conditions.

Fluid consumption - 200-300 liters per hectare.
