What to dilute herbicides in: after this mistake, summer residents declare the ineffectiveness of the preparations
If you decide to fight weeds on your property using compounds such as herbicides, it would be a good idea to learn a few simple rules for their use.
Failure to follow recommendations will result in decreased drug effectiveness.
Probably everyone knows that the preparation should be diluted in a container that is not used for drinking water or food products.
But few people know that only plastic or glass containers are suitable: in metal containers the effectiveness of the drug is reduced.
There are a few more requirements that should not be ignored during herbicide treatment.
This is, first of all, a ban on eating, drinking and smoking during the procedure.
In addition, the treatment should be carried out exclusively with gloves and a respirator. At the same time, the summer resident should wear clothes that have long sleeves and pants, as well as a hat and closed shoes.
Prepare the solution immediately before you plan to use it. Long-term storage of the prepared mixture is fraught with the same decrease in efficiency.
Finally, another common mistake made by inexperienced gardeners is that they ignore the instructions for preparing the product.
Please note: the packaging usually indicates the range of possible concentrations. The lower value can be used to get rid of annual weeds and young plants, while the maximum dosage will come to the rescue when it comes to fighting perennial grasses and powerful bushes.
