Many summer residents who are tired of fighting weeds in the traditional way, that is, by weeding, resort to the help of herbicides.

According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , herbicides can be divided into two types: general action and selective action.

Those of them that belong to the general action group destroy absolutely all plants, and selective action herbicides are used on specific crops without damaging them, but at the same time suppressing unwanted weeds.

Now let's talk about the rules for using herbicides - how to ensure that the preparation does not get on other vegetation during treatment.

1. The first and most important rule is to perform the procedure only in calm, dry weather.

2. Use only low spray pressure.

3. Try to spray the product not in a large cloud, but more vertically.

4. When passing very close to crops growing on the site, cover them with film up to the root collar.

Important! We recommend that you use a separate sprayer designed for treating the area with herbicides. This way, you won’t have to worry about whether you’ve thoroughly washed it of herbicides before using other preparations.
