To get a good harvest, you need to understand a little about agriculture. One of these aspects is the competent destruction of weeds. This procedure is laborious, but without it it will not be possible to grow and harvest a good crop. An effective assistant in this matter will be the herbicide Titus. Let's figure out how to properly use and store this tool.

Composition and release form of herbicide Titus

Release form - water-soluble granules. The active ingredient is rimsulfuron (250 g/kg). Sold in packs of 500. Helps clear weeds from corn, potatoes and tomatoes.

The main plus of the substance is its selective action.

Drug Benefits

• fully replaces pre-emergence and pre-sowing treatment with herbicides;

How the remedy works

The active substance of Titus destroys the enzyme that all cereals and dicotyledonous weeds have, which leads to the arrest of their growth and early death.

Titus is gradually increasing activity. Since it is safe for the soil and quickly decomposes in it, new crops can be planted on the treated area after six months.

If a crop has died in a certain area, then after treatment with Titus in the same season it can be re-planted.

Consumption rate

The consumption of the herbicide depends on the harmful plants with which it will fight.

On corn

To clear a hectare of corn from cereal weeds, you need 400-500 g of herbicide. Also, its required amount depends on the degree of overgrowth. For a small amount of weeds, 250 liters per hectare is sufficient, for a large amount, 450 liters will be required.

On tomatoes

200-350 liters of working solution based on Titus is enough to process a hectare of this crop.

On potatoes

Potato processing should be carried out after hilling. A mixture of 50 g of Titus + 200 ml of Trend should be prepared per hectare.

Preparation of working solution

The herbicide must be diluted with water, mixed well and poured into a sprayer half-filled with water. After the procedure, any manipulations with cultures can be carried out only after 2 weeks.
