• Quick action of the drug.
• No strong odor.
• Destroys weeds completely, along with the root system.
• Harmlessness of herbicide for inhabitants of reservoirs and bees.
• Can be used to cultivate fields from aircraft.
• Does not depend on weather conditions and the climate of the region.
• Desiccant.
• Highly effective, no re-treatment required.

From the disadvantages of high-tech herbicide stand out:

• High drug cost.
• Processing must be carried out with the use of protective equipment.
• Hard water reduces the effectiveness of the chemical.
