How to Use Herbicides Correctly: Tips for Those Disappointed in Their Effectiveness
Since herbicides are nothing more than chemically created preparations, they must be used according to all the rules and not deviate one step from the instructions.
An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told how to use these means to achieve the goal and at the same time not to harm yourself and cultivated plants.
First of all, let us remind you of the need to use gloves, a mask, glasses and a gown, and, of course, a sprayer.
The spray solution is prepared immediately before you plan to use it.
For this purpose, you can use enamel, clay or plastic dishes. Metal is prohibited.
For 10 liters of water, on average, you will need 40-80 ml; if the weeds are stronger, then 100-120 ml.
During the spring-summer period, it is recommended to treat weeds 1-3 times. The first treatment is carried out in the spring, when the height of the weeds reaches 10-15 cm.
We don't know if there is any point in reminding that treatments should only be carried out in dry and windless weather, but few people know for sure that watering is necessary before the procedure. And by the way, the products work more effectively this way.
And finally, do not use a hoe and do not pull out weeds after treatment - the poison needs time to spread throughout the plant and kill the rhizome.
