Ground against weeds: instructions for use

Herbicide Ground: description

Of course, for every gardener, the main task when cultivating crops in a personal plot is to fight against pathogenic bacteria, fungi and pests. Today there are a huge variety of drugs, and manufacturers claim that they all have a large number of advantages, are efficacious and safe. In this article, we will take a closer look at the herbicide Ground, talk about the mechanisms of its action, about the advantages and disadvantages that differ from all the others on the horticultural market today.

Ground belongs to the category of systemic herbicides. This product is very effective in protecting the home plot from annual and perennial weeds. Due to the action of the active components, the drug destroys weeds, including prickly grasses-parasites, which can very rarely be destroyed, are under threat. The effect of the drug mainly applies to green weeds, which should also be remembered when choosing this particular remedy in the fight. As soon as the components get on the deciduous or stem parts of the plant, they are instantly spread over them, absorbed into the weed, starting to destroy and absorb it from the inside. Also, substances enter the root system, as a result of which it completely begins to suffer from a lack of nutrients. As a result, the weeds die off after some time.

The drug can be produced in several forms - ampoules, tubes, vials. The gardener can choose the forms that he likes best, it all depends on preferences, in what form it is most convenient to use the drug. Analogues of the drug are such as Gleason, Roundup, GLITERR, Tornado or Glialka. They are also especially effective in the fight against pests and weeds, as well as increase the immunity of plants, help them grow more actively, and have a positive effect on flowering and fruiting.

Also, these drugs do not accumulate in the soil, do not develop immunity in weeds, which is also of great importance. Thus, the drug has a huge number of advantages that must be remembered. In the next part, we will dwell in more detail on what is the purpose of the Ground drug, as well as what are the mechanisms of its action in modern gardening and vegetable growing.

Purpose and mechanism of action

We have already indicated that the Ground preparation belongs to the systemic herbicidal preparations, which was specially developed in order to effectively destroy weeds. Glyphosate is an active ingredient derived from glycine we all know. As soon as glyphosate acid cells enter the plant and into its system, it begins to very actively block enzymes, disrupt synthesis, as a result of which the plants do not receive the components and substances they need and subsequently simply die.

Spectrum of action

The drug has a fairly wide spectrum of action, and among its purposes it is necessary to highlight the following:

- destruction of weeds of various types and varieties - sow thistles, wheatgrass, which enter the phase of active growth, as soon as the gardener needs to plant grain and tuberous crops, root crops. Treatment is necessary precisely in order to maximally clear the soil of weeds and plant the plant in normal, treated and safe soil.
- processing of fields before the gardener and agricultural worker plants spring and winter crops. Thus, the tool is suitable not only for making local treatments, but also for treating larger areas.
- processing of embankments of road and railways, which is also extremely necessary, because weeds grow there, which can significantly disrupt the structure of the coating and generally spoil the appearance. In addition, Ground is excellent for processing power lines, for ennobling parks and recreation areas, alleys and playgrounds, central streets where weeds grow.

In general, the weed grows and takes root quite easily, it is actually not influenced by external factors, and it can be very difficult to get rid of it. It grows very actively both in the urban environment and in forestry; it can appear in irrigation and drainage systems. Ground is excellent for processing absolutely any territory, and this is the huge advantage of this drug. In addition, it is completely safe for home and garden crops, so it acts exclusively on weeds and pests, but not on those crops that grow in personal plots.

Thus, the drug has a wide spectrum of action. Due to the components contained in it, it not only destroys weeds, but also nourishes the soil so that the plants are saturated with energy and strengthened in growth. Fruiting is also improved, as the stalks are filled with strength and some crops are even more abundant flowering than before.

Herbicide Ground: application and universal dosages

Of course, in the information about this tool, it is very important for us to indicate the application and dosage, because its effectiveness and the quality of the result obtained depend on the correct use of the drug. As a rule, this is a drug with a wide spectrum of action, it is used for all crops grown in agriculture, as well as for the processing of citrus, fruit, and grape crops. This should also include fallow lands and fallows, because it is very important that the drug fits into the processing of completely different conditions.

Weed ground should be able to be used correctly, because the effectiveness of the drug depends only on this. You should correctly interpret the instructions, choose the right dosages, and thus new opportunities will open up for protecting your crop from all sorts of pests.

Firstly, it should be borne in mind that it is best to process the areas either in the morning, before the hot weather begins, or in the evening, when the sun gradually recedes below the horizon, and a cool temperature sets in. Weather conditions should also exclude the wind so that the drug does not spread to other areas and neighboring crops, because this will reduce its effectiveness in a particular area to be treated. Secondly, it is necessary to spray in a directed action, namely on the weeds. It is necessary to process during the active growing season, when the weeds are very susceptible to any microelements and organisms, and therefore they will easily accept the components of the Ground preparation. The third condition is that after the procedure is completed, containers and devices should be very thoroughly cleaned of the agent. But these are already measures of elementary processing, the most important thing is to process the weeds with the agent on time, and the effect will not be long in coming.

Herbicide Ground: dosages

The dosage of the drug directly depends on which crops this agent is used for, as well as the areas with which crops are treated. For example, if a gardener processes citrus fruits and some fruit crops, as well as grape plots, then it is necessary to dilute about 80 milliliters of Ground in ten liters of water.This concentration is perfect for controlling annual weeds. As for the fight against perennial weeds, it is best to increase the amount of the drug - 120 milliliters of the drug is perfect for ten liters of water.

For processing vegetables and melons, as well as some flower areas, you can spray the ground exactly after the crop has been harvested. For annual and perennial weeds, the same concentration is used as indicated in the previous paragraph for citrus and vineyards - 80 and 120 milliliters per 10 liters of water, respectively.
Potatoes are usually processed several days before the expected emergence of the crop. To do this, you can dilute about 50-60 milliliters of the product per 10 liters of water for both annual weeds and perennials, here the concentration does not play the most important role.

If the plots are prepared for sowing seeds of cereals and grasses, then it is best to process them not once, but twice. In the spring and immediately after the crop has been harvested for annuals and for perennials, 120 milliliters of the product are diluted per 10 liters of water, the concentration should be the same, and in both cases it is quite effective.

As we can see, a lot depends on which family the crops belong to, so it is best to familiarize yourself with the instructions for use, which are indicated on each package with the drug. You can also find the most detailed information in this article on the Ground preparation and its main features and characteristics. In the next part, we will talk about how the drug is compatible with other products that are also used to combat annual or perennial weeds.

Ground compatibility with other drugs

As stated in the instructions for the drug, Grund is generally quite compatible with drugs similar to the principle of action. They should also be used in the same period, otherwise, if they are applied in turn, then the action of one can greatly dull the action of the other, and when used simultaneously, the drugs will support and stimulate each other.

There are also other sources according to which it is better for a gardener or farmer to think several times and check whether it is worth using the Ground herbicide in parallel with any other substances. But, according to the reviews of the gardeners and gardeners themselves, Ground can perfectly interact with nitrogen-containing drugs, for example, with such as Propol. Nitrogen enhances the effect of the drug, helps it fight weeds even more, and this is the huge advantage of this visible interaction. Thus, compatibility is quite possible, it does not interfere with the natural activity of the drug, allows it to reveal its characteristics and action, makes it even more effective and significant.

Advantages and disadvantages of the drug

Of course, in the article about the herbicide Ground, one cannot avoid listing its advantages and disadvantages. Gardeners and gardeners themselves leave numerous reviews, from which the following follows:
- the drug can have an effective effect against weeds of all types and forms;
- the components of the drug cannot do much harm to the ecological natural situation, which gardeners and gardeners usually worry about;
- it is completely safe when used in crop rotation, if you follow all the key rules;
- the drug does not accumulate in the soil - it decomposes very quickly, and this is also its huge advantage over other means;
- symptoms of weed infestation are observed after 5-7 days, therefore, in addition to the effectiveness of the drug, its speed should be noted.

No particular drawbacks were found in the study of the drug and its action.The only point that we can pay attention to is that when working with the drug, gloves, a mask and glasses should be worn to protect the mucous membranes, and it is also not recommended to use food or water during processing.

For treatment with the drug, use only non-metallic equipment, since metal can affect some of the components of the drug. It is worth working in dry, calm weather, light cloudiness is possible, this will be only a plus. Before work, you should protect yourself - wear either a protective suit, or some items of clothing to protect the mucous membranes. It is also better to wear a hat, cover your face. During the procedure, it is forbidden to consume food or alcohol, smoke, as we have already mentioned above. After the procedure has been completed, the gardener is advised to take a shower and drink some milk or kefir. Within two weeks, it is better not to appear on the treated area, since the components that did not have time to be absorbed can get on the clothes or skin of a person.
