Lawn - this is the main decoration of the plots near the house. A dense green carpet creates a cozy, but at the same time exquisite view of the garden landscape, it blends well with decorative shrubs, conifers, various floral plants. But, like any plant, the grass also needs proper care. Yes, and weeds do not sleep, after a few years a neat emerald carpet can begin to resemble untidy rags. To prevent this from happening, we need herbicides for the lawn.
The main enemies of a beautiful lawn are dicotyledons, which eventually begin to displace cereals. These include dandelion, plantain, they are found most often. There can be more sorrel, paznik, hawk. Therefore, herbicides for the lawn should primarily act on these herbs. Among the herbs can also be buttercup and clover, but they do not always need to be considered weeds, because they are added to herbal mixtures for strengthening, they increase the resistance to erasure and give a density. Therefore it is important to know which herbicides to choose.
The most effective for today are the electoral means by which the lawn is treated. They penetrate into all parts of the plant, they function for three weeks, do not require frequent treatment. These herbicides are made from 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid and dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. They were developed in the middle of the twentieth century, but are still very effective in combating Weeds. Preparations based on these chemical compounds are of several types: granular, liquid and in the form of an aerosol.
Granular herbicide is the most popular, besides the weed control, it also contains nitrogen fertilizers. Such a composition accelerates the process of action. The liquid remedy works faster than the powder, but it can damage other ornamental plants. Experts advise to use nitrogen fertilizers when working with it. The drug in the form of an aerosol, we can say, is designed for topical application, that is, they need to spray each plant, getting into the center of the outlet. Therefore, it is good to use in case the site is small, and the weeds on it have just appeared, in a single quantity.
How correctly to use herbicides for the lawn? Please read the instructions carefully. The drug should be allowed for use on household plots rather than on an industrial scale, it should destroy precisely dicot grass, rather than cereal, such as the herbicide "Panther", which is designed to control weeds in the garden. If it is wrong to choose a remedy, it will only do harm. There is another herbicide - "STOMP", it acts on dicots, but also on cereals, too. It is worth paying attention to such drugs as "Mekoprop", "Decamba", "Dichlorprol". Process the lawn on a calm day, it is desirable that there was no rain, otherwise it will simply wash away the drug. Before we begin to fight the weeds, the grass needs to be sheared. The grass itself should be dry and the soil moist. And: the event will be successful if it is held during the period of active growth of grass. The granulated herbicide is distributed evenly throughout the site. The liquid preparation is dispensed using a sprinkler, preserving the precautionary measures.
