Benefits of using Agrokiller

Preparation of the solution
To destroy common weeds, you should dilute 30–40 ml of Agrokiller in 3 liters of water. With such a dosage, it is impossible to destroy malicious weeds, so a more concentrated solution must be made for them - 40–50 ml per 3 liters of water. This amount of liquid can handle 100 m2 fields.
The composition must be sprayed on the green part of the weeds. All work should be carried out in the morning / evening in calm weather. If the drug dries quickly under the rays of the scorching sun, the effect will be less noticeable. The period of absorption of Agrokiller into plants is 5-6 hours.If it rains during this time, some of the solution will be washed off and the action of the product will no longer be as effective as indicated in the product description.
Agrokiller is produced in containers with a capacity of 40, 90 and 500 ml. This displacement is enough for amateur gardeners. For the destruction of weeds in large farms, containers with a larger capacity are needed, so 1 and 5 liters of solution can be purchased on the market.
