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

The use of herbicides helps to clear crops of weeds, to carry out chemical weeding. Zlakterr is a selective herbicide, its sphere of activity allows to lime grass weeds in crops of sugar beet, some types of vegetables, without causing damage to crops, free fields from clogging, reduce labor costs and significantly increase yield.

Composition, dosage form and purpose of the drug Zlakterr

The active ingredient in the preparation is cellodim. Its content is 240 grams per liter. Cletodim is classified as a systemic drug - after absorption, the substance spreads through all tissues of the weed and destroys the plant from the inside.

Zlakterr is bottled in 5 liter plastic canisters, it is a concentrated emulsion.

The drug was created to eliminate weeds from crops of large-leaved plants. Applies to the following crops:

• potato;
• soy;
• cotton;
• sugar beet;
• bow;
• carrot;
• linen;
• beets.

Zlakterra can also be used to clear weeds around trees and vineyards.

Mechanism of herbicide action

Herbicide is used during the growth and development of weeds. When sprayed on leaves and stems, Zlakterr is absorbed from the surface and passes into the internal conducting system of weeds.

Cletodym inhibits the synthesis of fats in the cell structures of weeds. Due to this, the process of cellular structure stops. Foliage takes on signs of chlorosis - it becomes spotty.

Growth points lose viability in 1-7 days, then the root part dies off. The plant dies within 1-3 weeks.

Zlakterr Activity Areas:

• couch grass;
• humai;
• oats;
• millet of various kinds;
• pig;
• self-growing crops of corn and cultivated cereals;
• rosichka.

Zlakterra cultivate the fields after germination. It successfully eliminates perennials and annual weeds.

Good and bad sides

When used at recommended rates, the drug demonstrates the following advantages:

• high selectivity - crops remain intact, only weeds die;
• destroys weed grass completely - following the ground part, the root also dies, which does not allow plants to recover;
• Zlakterr is effective at all stages of vegetation and at any density of clogging;
• remains active in a wide range of climatic and weather conditions, for different soils;
• large circle of activity - annual and perennial weeds.

Be careful when using Zlakterra, as the herbicide has its downsides:

• exceeding dosages can harm protected crops;
• has toxicity - moderately dangerous for humans, animals, soil;
• undecomposed components remain in the soil, get into the fruits, which degrades their quality, reduces their benefits.

Herbicide residues in the fields affect the composition and fertility of the soil, can adversely affect acidity and other characteristics.

Working fluid consumption rates

The drug is used in the following doses:

Amount of prepared mortar in liters per hectareVolume of Zlakterra in liters per hectareValidity period Any of the list of processed 0.7-1

Crop	Weed
Young (2-6 sheets), annual	200-300	0.2-0.4	2 months	One-time treatment
	Perennial or over 20 centimeters high	200-300

The lower values of the dosage of the drug are chosen with a slight weediness of the fields and in the early stages of the growing season. The maximum quantities are needed to overcome the old weeds that cover cultivated plants.

Preparation of working solution

The solution for spraying is prepared immediately in the tank. The container is half filled with water, the required amount of herbicide is introduced. When pouring, stir constantly (a hydraulic mixer works) in order to achieve a complete connection. Then the rest of the water is poured in, combined with an adjuvant (surfactant ETD-90, G).

Reference: surfactant enhances the action of Zlakterra, promotes better penetration into weed tissue structures.

The solution is prepared on special sites, which excludes spilling the herbicide on the ground and soaking the soil in the fields.

Herbicide instructions

Optimal conditions for spraying the working solution are 8-25 °. It is recommended to spray the fields in the morning. If the weeds are still at an early stage (2-3 leaves) - choose the minimum dosage.Supplementing the solution with an adjuvant will ensure better absorption of Cletodym and increase the efficiency of the treatment.

With a high density of weeds (from 300 plants per square meter), it's not worth the risk - choose the maximum allowable concentrations of Zlakterra. High doses are also required for perennial weeds and when crops are hidden under weeds.

If the solution remains, it is disposed of in specially designated places. Do not store ready mix.

Precautions

How to properly work with Zlakterra so as not to harm people, soil, crops:

• preparing a solution, spraying herbicide in personal protective equipment;
• remaining solution is destroyed;
• It is allowed to enter the fields for work 3 days after processing.

In private households, in summer cottages, herbicide is not used. Spraying by agricultural aircraft is prohibited.

Phytotoxicity of the drug

Zlakterr does not have a poisoning effect on crops if the recommended dosages are observed.

Compatible with other pesticides?

The drug is not used with the pesticide Bentazon. It is also not recommended to combine Zlakterr with fertilizers. For sugar beet, mixtures with herbicides from other groups and areas of activity - Associate Professor, Triumph, Lonner Euro have proven themselves well.

If there is a need to prepare tank mixes, the components are mixed in small quantities before use and tested for toxicity.

Terms and conditions of storage

Storage conditions - back rooms for toxic substances, temperature - from -5 ° to 35 °. The manufacturer stated a shelf life of 2 years with the integrity of the package.

Analogues

With cletodim as an active substance, a large group of herbicides are produced, which are analogues:

• Beryl - 120 grams per liter;
• Rondo, Legat, Zlakoff, Centurion, Ephesus - 240 grams per liter (exact analogue);
• Graminion - 150 grams per liter.

All products (including Zlakterr) have been tested for compliance with ISO standards, approved for use in industrial agriculture.

The use of Zlakterr protects crops of many crops from the spread of grass weeds. It is difficult to obtain large yields without the use of herbicides. In order not to reduce the quality of the fruits obtained, it is necessary to apply herbicides at the recommended time and in strict accordance with the instructions.
