Principle of action and characteristics of the herbicide Hurricane
An effective drug Hurricane Forte spray areas infected with weed vegetation.The drug is based on the substance glyphosate, which is a potassium salt. It is an indiscriminate herbicide, absolutely safe for humans, animals and birds.
The agent penetrates the weed through the leaves and root system, after which it causes the gradual death of the entire plant. Usually after a week the first signs are noticeable, and after fourteen days there is complete drying out. Individual plants can last up to three weeks.
On a note! After processing, the soil does not need to be loosened: this procedure can affect the exposure time.
Advantages and disadvantages of the drug
The continuous herbicide allows you to free the site from fifty species of weeds, especially annoying the gardener. This list includes both annuals and perennials, cereals, and even weeds growing in shrubs.
Additionally, it is worth listing the benefits of working with this drug:
- liquid concentrate is very effective, because in the season only one treatment will be required;
- seeds of cultivated plants are completely safe, since the main effect of the product is directed to the green parts.Particles of the active substance in the soil will not in any way impede germination. However, it should be remembered that the treatment must be completed before the emergence of cultivated plants, otherwise the first shoots will suffer along with the weeds;
- the concentrate contains special substances that contribute to the longer-lasting action of the active substance on the weed - they make the particles stick to the roots and leaves, as a result of which the substance is much better absorbed in the tissues of the plant;
- fuel economy;
- can be combined with other drugs of a similar effect.
Herbicide treatment, as many remember, is undesirable in agriculture, but Hurricane is a soil harmless drug that does not affect soil fertility and is even able to prevent erosion processes.
Preparation and dosage of concentrate
Detailed instructions for use are given on the factory packaging of the product.
However, each gardener must adhere to certain general recommendations:
- soil treatment is necessary in “calm” weather, when there is no strong wind;
- working solution can not be stored, because it is prepared immediately before use;
- It is required to strictly follow the indicated dosages.
The gardener must observe safety precautions and use personal protective equipment when working with concentrate. During spraying, a mask and glasses are required. Strongly forbidden to smoke, drink or eat. If there is an assumption that the substance somehow got into the body, you immediately need to take medications that cause vomiting. Store the product separately from the products in the container of the manufacturer.
The dosage of the herbicide differs depending on the type of crops that are grown on a particular site.
- processing for any vegetables is carried out on average three or four days before germination of cultivated plants, the concentrate is diluted in the following proportions: for four liters of water - 15 ml of herbicide;
- for crops of sunflower, alfalfa, perennial grasses, a consumption of 1.5 liters per hectare is provided;
- preparation for sugar beets, the cultivation of flax, corn or soy provides for consumption increases to two to four liters per hectare;
- before planting fruit trees, and also if the land is intended for steam, the consumption will be up to two to four liters per hectare.
Important! A detailed description is given in the instructions.
Features of the application of the herbicide
To ensure the complete destruction of weeds in a particular area, you need to pay great attention to the instructions that are painted on the packaging of the drug. Dissolution of the concentrate implies an exact adherence to dosages: this will protect cultivated plants from possible harm.
For the solution, plastic containers are used in which it is not intended to further store or transfer food or drinking water. In addition, you can dissolve directly in the tank of the spraying apparatus.
Water should be clean - not rain. Do not use for this water, which is taken from a natural open reservoir. The finished solution is not stored.
Unfavorable factors
There are a number of nuances that can reduce the effectiveness of the drug:
- precipitation. If after five hours of rainfall after treatment, it will significantly reduce the effectiveness of the herbicide;
- drought or cold snap. Any factors that impede the growth of green mass affect the effectiveness of the treatment, as the degree of penetration of the drug into plant tissues decreases;
- weeding or other impact on the soil layer. Such actions must be postponed for at least a week.
It is impossible to merge the remainder of the solution into natural reservoirs, as the substance is dangerous for their inhabitants, especially fish.
Flow options
The main factors that affect the consumption rate of the product are as follows:
- crops to be cultivated in the cultivated area;
- species of weeds growing on a specific area.
If the plots are intended for the further cultivation of cereals or legumes, and the weeds are annuals, then 20 ml of the product per forty liters of water is enough. If the weeds are perennial, then 40 ml per forty liters.
When processing vineyards or for areas where vegetables will be grown or fruit plantings, the dosage is 15 ml per four liters of water.
Among the plantings of ornamental plants or in flower beds for ten liters of water, 60 ml of the drug will be required.
When processing lawns, you will need the maximum concentration: ten liters of liquid 90 ml.
According to experts, Hurricane is an effective drug that can free the land from most weeds. High concentration completely destroys the root system and green parts, turning them into rot-like residues, which serve as an excellent fertilizer for crops. This herbicide is a great help to the farmer.
