Description and actions of the tornado herbicide
The active substance of the Tornado drug is glyphosate. Thanks to this component, the herbicide is so popular, it eliminates a large number of weeds and their species. The basis of the drug is the isopropylamine salt of glyphosate acid, thanks to which the herbicide has been widely used. Especially popular for gentrification of abandoned lands.
The continuous herbicide is used for orchards and vineyards. Helps to cope with weeds not only by annuals, but also by perennial representatives, including wheat grass, calf, bindweed and others. A tornado is most effective at cultivating the soil before sowing. Weed suppression occurs when the herbicide enters the plant through leaves and stems. This is achieved by spraying weeds, after which the drug enters the root system, which as a result helps to destroy the plant completely.
Basic rules for using the drug
For proper use of the drug, instructions for use will helpwhere you can see the necessary proportions for making the pesticide mixture. Processing is carried out no more than 1 time per sowing season. The best time for spraying is considered morning or evening. Before the rain, it is better to refrain from using the drug.Storage of diluted solution is unacceptable. You can not use the herbicide in the wind with a force of more than 5 meters per second.
Main advantages and disadvantages
Tornado herbicide cannot be used in conjunction with other pesticides.
The drug has a quick inhibitory effect, due to its use:
- annual weed grass is inhibited and disappears after a week;
- perennials will die 10 days later, and shrubs one month after treatment.
- for bees, a tornado is low risk;
- for other living organisms non-toxic.
The disadvantage of the drug is that any plant that will be sprayed will be affected by the herbicide. Regardless of whether the object is a weed or cultivated cultivated plant, if the drug gets on the green, the vegetation will die, after a certain time.
Common Weed Herbicide Species
Several types of this drug are used. The most popular is the Tornado 500 herbicide. Tornado 360 and Tornado 540 are on sale. All drugs differ only in glyphosate concentration. Despite this, they are safe enough for the environment and humans. The compound is effective in all temperature conditions.
When and how to process plants
To suppress perennial weeds, a solution of the herbicide with water is used, to destroy weeds, 75 ml of the Tornado should be diluted in 3 liters of water. This mixture can be used for autumn spraying after harvesting, in the spring, before sowing crops (2 weeks). In this case, annuals should grow more than 5 cm, but less than 15 cm, and perennials more than 15 cm.
For annual weeds, the preparation can be diluted in the amount of 50 ml per 3 l of water, and when spraying the ground in which the potatoes are planted, no later than 5 days before the seedlings appear, you can apply a tornado solution in the proportion of 25 ml to 3 l of water .
Cereal and dicotyledonous weeds are removed with the help of a tornado solution mainly in areas intended for sowing. However, the drug is used to remove vegetative unwanted vegetation also on roadsides, paths, hedges, etc.
The solution of the preparation is prepared freshly: during storage, it loses its properties. Also, clean water is required, and with hard water, an increased dosage is recommended. Shake well before spraying.
Pesticide Safety Precautions
