Thus, you can quickly and effectively get rid of weed vegetation. For this purpose, the "Excellent" is doing an excellent job. It is used to destroy cereal weeds, which often litter the plantings of potatoes, beets, tomatoes and other vegetable crops. In this article we will see how to apply the Excellent Weed Control.
Characteristics of the "Excellent"
"Excellent" is a Japanese drug. The main active ingredient is chizalofop-P-epila - 51.6 g / l. It is a highly effective herbicide that fights well against annual and perennial weeds. It is used in areas with potatoes, crops of soybeans, sugar beets, cotton and sunflowers. The substance can be quickly absorbed by weeds, accumulating in the root system and nodes. Then the meristematic tissue of the rhizomes is completely destroyed. The herbicide can be reapplied directly to the plant roots to avoid regrowth. The substance has shown high efficiency, within a week the cereals begin to die.
The "excellent student" fights the following types of weeds:
- wild oats;
- bristle;
- chicken millet;

This refers to the standard packaging of the "Excellent" for 2 ml. At the time of the procedure, the weeds should have no more than 2-6 leaves.

In this case, the height of the plant must be at least 10 cm.
