Herbicide "Arsenal": the most effective helper in the fight against weeds

Any agronomist or amateur horticulturist must resort to funds from weeds in the garden, regardless of the scale of the farmland. Such means are called herbicides. They are subdivided according to the principle of action on contact (they exclusively treat the soil) and solid (the plants are directly subject to treatment). Today we will talk about the demanded means in the agricultural sphere - the herbicide "Arsenal".

What is the herbicide used for?

When the soil is treated with these substances, the moisture level remains sufficient, which does not allow it to harden. Apply funds from weeds in the garden, and on non-farm territories. And also wherever vegetation is undesirable: it can be a runway, railway tracks and so on. In agricultural activities, herbicides are used in the following cases:

1. During the fruiting of crops, to remove weeds.
2. After the harvest is completed, it becomes necessary to keep the land clean.
3. As a preparatory stage before sowing.

A broad-spectrum herbicide

Herbicide "Arsenal" has a wide range of action. This explains the reason for his popularity. Often, this tool is used for the first processing of land. Its advantage is a prolonged effect, which persists for up to 5 years. It is effective in combating cereals, dvicultured weeds, trees and shrubs.

The convenience of using this tool is that it can be used in any weather - it does not affect the effectiveness of the drug in any way. Even if the surface of the plant is dusty or oily, the herbicide will work properly. Literally within 1 hour, it is absorbed by the leaves and roots of the plant, as well as by soil.

How weed works

At "Arsenal" active substance is imazapir. When spraying plants, it penetrates into the leaves, roots and soil. And at the soil level it does not allow seeds to sprout. Imazapir destroys amino acids in plant cells, which prevents further their division and, accordingly, growth. Already after the first day you can see the result of the herbicide "Arsenal". But it is better to make significant conclusions only after 1-2 weeks. Since at this time there will be a gradual withering of the weed from the root system and to the top.

To achieve the maximum effect of the product, it is necessary to spray in the early spring. It is during this period that the rapid growth of grass begins. Since the named herbicide possesses good phytotoxic properties, it can be applied at any time, up to frosts.

Instructions for use

To avoid the spread of the drug to neighboring areas, it should be sprayed in windless weather, in the morning or in the evening, when there is no direct exposure to sunlight. The active substance will penetrate the plant and soil regardless of the moisture level, but to achieve better absorption and a higher result, the hydration of plants is welcomed.

According to the instructions for the use of the herbicide "Arsenal", it is necessary to prepare a tank for irrigation of the land area. In it, you need to pour water on 1/3 and slowly, in a circular motion, to medicate. The resulting solution is used immediately before use. He is not subject to storage. The process of spraying the area is carried out with a stirrer inside the tank. When the work is completed, it is necessary to rinse it abundantly with water. It is important to observe the safety standards of the person taking part in the treatment (protective glasses, gloves, mask, change clothes, rubber boots).

In large areas, the processing is performed with tractor or backpack motor spraying. The consumption of the solution in the first case is much lower. So, with tractor spraying, the value ranges from 150 to 200 liters per hectare, while for a backpacker it ranges from 150 to 300 liters per hectare.

The manufacturer of herbicide "Arsenal" - Germany. To date, there are many representatives and intermediary organizations involved in the trade in this drug. In Russia there is also its analog with the name "Arsenal New", which is produced by the domestic manufacturer.
