Herbicide Ballerina: instructions for use, mechanism of action, consumption rates

Weed control is considered important in vegetable and cereal farming. Weeding in gardens is done by hand. But with large areas, we have to deal with weeds with the help of chemicals. With the herbicide "Ballerina" it will be much easier to cultivate cultivated plants.

Composition and formulation of the herbicide

Ballerina herbicide is used in corn and grain fields to eliminate annual dicotyledonous weeds and perennial weeds propagated by root offspring.

It contains s alts and esters of 2,4 dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, or 2,4 D.The substance belongs to herbicides that act selectively on weeds without damaging crops. This group of substances belongs to the hormonal. The activity of preparations with 2.4 D is high in relation not only to annual dicotyledonous plants, but also to perennial grasses. The drug does not penetrate into grain crops, since their cuticle is thicker than that of weeds. Especially resistant to herbicides are cereals at the tillering stage. The amount of 2-hexylethyl ether in the pesticide is 410 grams per liter.

Another component of the agrochemical is triazolpyrimidines. Acting as a key enzyme in the synthesis of amino acids, they cause the death of weeds. Florasulam is contained in a liter of the drug in the amount of 7.4 grams.

The Ballerina herbicide is produced in the form of a suspension emulsion in 5 and 1 liter packages.

Pros and cons of funds

The advantage of using a herbicide is that the drug:

• effective against common weeds such as bedstraw, chamomile, thistle thistle, Euphorbia vine, dandelion officinalis, blue cornflower and others, about 150 species of dicots;
• fast acting and killing weeds;
• can be used after 3-5 leaves appear on corn, second internode on cereal plants;
• used in all types of crop rotation.

The drug protects the fields sown with crops until the next wave of weeds appears.

The disadvantage, in addition to the high price, the drug has an increased toxicity. It is necessary to choose the right time to use the emulsion in order to achieve a positive result The herbicide will not work if weeds have entered the flowering stage . It is worth noting the high degree of toxicity of the agent for humans, the smaller one for bees.

Product variety and scope

There are 3 known varieties of the drug "Ballerina":

1. In the "Ballerina" product, the volume of the 2.4 D component is greater than that of the triazolpyrimidine groups. Substances block the growth points of weeds, do not allow them to multiply.
2. Ballerina Super contains a number of biologically neutral additives and chemicals that increase the effectiveness of the drug against certain weeds.
3. "Ballerina Mix" is stronger and quickly destroys dicotyledonous annuals and perennials that interfere with the growth of corn, oats, rice. The action of the drug is based on the use of a binary formula in the production of herbicide. It is necessary to use the herbicide together with the Mortira preparation. This complicates the process of preparing the working solution.

All types of suspension are designed for use in weed control in agricultural fields.

Preparing the solution

The working fluid is prepared immediately before field processing. Half the water is poured into the sprayer tank.

To prepare a 15% stock solution, separately mix 7.5 liters of water with 1.5 emulsions. Then, stirring, add up to 10 liters. After 5 minutes of stirring, pour into a tank half-filled with water. Mix already in the sprayer until a homogeneous emulsion.

The container in which the herbicide was mixed is rinsed thoroughly, pouring the remaining water into the sprayer tank.

It is necessary to prepare the solution on separate sites, which can then be disinfected.

Consumption rate

The usual rate of agrochemical consumption per hectare is 200-300 liters of working fluid. It is recommended not to increase the dose much if the field is completely overgrown with weeds. It is necessary to carry out processing on time, at such phases of development of cultivated plants, so as not to harm the crop:

1. For spring plants, barley and wheat, choose the period of tillering or exit into tubes at the phase of the second internode. Winter crops are sprayed at 0.5 liters of the drug per hectare in spring.
2. To clear a field of corn from weeds, use the "Ballerina" tool when cultivated plants have produced 3-5 leaves.
3. Weeds in sorghum and millet fields can be destroyed in the early stages of weed development.

If the weeds have begun to bloom, it will be more difficult to get rid of them. The pesticide penetrates the herbs through the leaves.

Instructions for use

Before using the toxic emulsion, read the instructions. Herbicide "Ballerina Mix" is used when the fields are heavily littered, especially with perennial root grasses.

If bedstraw, chamomile and other weeds have reached a height of 15-20 centimeters, then you will have to spray with a stronger variety of herbicide.

Grasses actively grow at air temperatures from 8 to 25 degrees Celsius. Therefore, in such weather, the effectiveness of the toxic solution increases. Freezing may cause the solution to decompose and result in no results.

Sprinkle crops in the morning or evening in clear weather, which should stand for a few more days.

Waiting time and efficiency

Systemic herbicide penetrates into plants 1 hour after treatment. Substances block the growth of plant cells in young tissues of weeds. After 3-4 days, there are signs of the action of the drug. Leaves curl in weeds, green parts become discolored, internodes are reduced.

Weeds finally die after 3-4 weeks. The period of complete destruction depends on weather conditions and weediness of the field.

The cultivated field will be protected from weeds until the next wave of their growth.

Compatible with other herbicides

Herbicide "Ballerina" is used in tank mixtures with other drugs. The remedy works best together with "Mortar", "Magnum" and other herbicides based on sulfonylurea. The drug is combined well with fungicidal and insecticidal agents. For crops, mixtures of herbicide with graminicides are used. They take 0.3-0.6 liters of "Ballerina" and the drug "Eraser" in the amount of 0.9 liters per hectare.

Use precautions

Toxicity of the drug in relation to humans - 2nd class, to bees - 3rd. After processing, people should not appear in the fields without a mask and special clothing.

The safety measures when working with the drug include the fact that it is forbidden to process next to:

• apiary;
• water protection zone;
• recreation areas, sanatoriums, children's camps;
• animal nurseries, pastures;
• private gardens.

The place of impact of the agrochemical should be at a distance of 500 meters from housing, food storage facilities. When using a full set of herbicides, one must think about their high activity against humans.

Poisoning action

A person who does not follow the rules for working with herbicides of the 2nd class of toxicity can get poisoned. Upon contact with the skin and mucous membranes, the toxic substance quickly penetrates the body, causing:

• breaking headache;
• shallow breathing;
• weakness, nausea, vomiting;
• lacrimation, excessive salivation;
• discoordination of movements.

If drops of the solution get on the skin, blot the damaged area with a cotton swab dipped in a solution of baking soda. Clothes after processing are given for decontamination. Regular washing with soap is not enough. Be sure to take a shower, thoroughly washing all parts of the body.

The appearance of the first signs of poisoning is a signal to call a toxicologist.

Transportation and storage duration

Transportation and storage of herbicide "Ballerina" is carried out in tightly closed containers. The room with pesticides should be at a distance of 150 meters from residential facilities.

And the preparation of the working fluid takes place on a site located no closer than half a kilometer.

The emulsion is stored for 3 years from the date of manufacture. At low temperatures, the herbicide decomposes and loses its effectiveness

Analogues

Herbicides "Asterix", "Primadonna", "Primavera", "Florax" have a similar composition and action. All products are effective against a wide range of dicot weeds.
