Features of the drug and the use of the herbicide hurricane forte
Hurricane Forte, like many herbicides, is based on the well-known component glyphosphate. It acts as a systemic herbicide of continuous action, which copes well with weeds, both annual and perennial, which are quite problematic to remove manually. Thanks to this drug, the gardener can save a significant part of the time on manual processing of the site, as well as his own physical strength, since weeding is a very energy-intensive process that is beyond the power of many young gardeners, not to mention old gardeners.
Of course, for a novice gardener and just a reader, it is not entirely clear what a herbicide is and what is the mechanism of its action. Herbicides are understood as meaning a specially derived substance which, by its action, causes the death of a plant, especially if this plant belongs to an undesirable, weedy group. As for the concept of continuous action, it implies that after spraying the preparation, the plants completely die, regardless of whether they belong to the categories of cultivated plants, or whether they are weeds that gardeners are so eager to get rid of.
Hurricane Forte, the active ingredient, belongs to the category of systemic herbicides, which cause a particularly destructive effect on weeds and grasses that do not allow cultivated plants to develop normally, taking away all nutrients from them, as well as sucking out such substances from the soil. The effect consists in the fact that the active substance spreads through the plant system, is absorbed into it, starting from the green part, and then gradually penetrates into the root system. It is just after such penetration that the plant dies.
It is worth noting that the drug is absorbed into the plant within two to three hours, the stop of weed growth, as well as the very first signs that the weeds have begun to die off, begin to appear about seven days after the gardener has done the treatment. By the end of the third week, you can see 99% of the result - the weeds will die off, take on a lifeless look, after which the site can be dug up or plowed up - it all depends solely on what scale was cultivated by the farmer.
To date, this drug is used to control more than 400 types of weeds, which are both annual and perennial. In addition, the drug is quite effective against both herbaceous and tree-shrub weeds.
The drug Hurricane Forte has some specific features and characteristics that allow you to solve many of the problems that the gardener faces. These tasks include the following:
- elimination of weeds not only in household and industrial plots, but also their complete destruction along railway stations and tracks, power lines, along road shoulders, near storage facilities and on the territory of various production facilities, which also need more thorough cleaning
- processing fields after harvesting, as well as removing weeds for complete cleansing of areas before planting cultivated plants
- preparation of plots for planting lawns, for decorating flower beds
- tillage of fields before the field crops are planted by the gardener
- pre-harvest desiccation
- processing the site just before its development, before the very first planting of various crops, which are of particular importance for the gardener.
It is important to remember: in order to achieve the desired result, the gardener will only need to process it once. More detailed information about the drug, about the specifics of its action, is contained in the instructions. It is necessary to study it more carefully, because the effectiveness of the product depends on this, as well as the safety of the gardener himself, who plans to process the site.
Hurricane Forte weed remedy: drug advantage
Of course, speaking about a drug of such action, it is always necessary to note why this particular drug has advantages, how these advantages are expressed, and why it is worth choosing this particular herbicide, and not any others. Hurricane Forte is the new generation of weed control. The list of its advantages is very impressive, but in this article we will outline the advantages that are distinguished by the gardeners themselves, who had direct experience in handling this drug.
The first advantage over other herbicidal treatments is that Hurricane Forte contains special surfactants. Thanks to them, the gardener can achieve the maximum effect from the use of this drug, while not spending a large amount of material, physical and time resources, and this, of course, is a huge advantage.
Secondly, it is worth noting that this drug has absolutely no negative effect on the processes of seed growth. Hurricane Forte weed remedy does not reduce seed activity, does not reduce soil fertility, does not accumulate in it, which is also a very big plus. Thirdly, thanks to the preparation, it is possible not to exert a large number of mechanical effects of the soil, which are usually expressed in processing. Also, the drug has a highly concentrated form, which makes it very economical. One package is enough for several treatments, which can be done over several seasons in a row.
Hurricane Forte is completely safe for the environment, it has a wide spectrum of action, which makes it really an indispensable tool not only for treating the area from weeds, but also in order to increase soil fertility. The drug prevents its erosion and, accordingly, increases the level of its moisture supply, which is extremely necessary for most horticultural crops. Thanks to the tool, the upper part of the soil is perfectly wetted, the components themselves quickly penetrate inside, but they do not accumulate at all in the soil. It has an incredibly stable result, prevents re-germination of weeds that have already been treated. The drug is highly soluble in water, the packaging can be stored for three years, observing all the rules and regulations of storage. As for cultivated plants, the drug does not penetrate into them, therefore it is not dangerous for crops. We also emphasize that the product does not have any smell, it is completely neutral, no reactions are formed during dilution or application (for example, the product does not foam).
Hurricane forte: preparation of working solution
Nevertheless, there are several rules thanks to which the gardener can correctly carry out the chemical treatment of the site and, accordingly, get the most outstanding results, and this is of great importance. Knowing how to work correctly with herbicidal preparations will also allow you to save on the product, using it rationally, and also not harm your own life, or the life of cultivated plants.
There are two key rules to keep in mind when working with herbicides.The first is to take into account the weather conditions, and the second rule is to correctly, correctly determine the phase of weed growth. With regard to the weather, it is best to cultivate plots in calm and calm weather, during calm periods. The weather should be clear and warm. It is possible to apply the continuous action herbicide hurricane forte 3-4 hours before the start of rain, since during this time the drug will already have time to be absorbed into the upper part of the weeds and begin to spread throughout its entire system. The soil should have an average degree of moisture during processing, should not be too dry or too wet, which is also of great importance, and gardeners should remember this.
As for the stage of growth of weeds, for annuals belonging to cereal species, it is possible to process with the appearance of at least one leaf, whose length will be at least five centimeters. If these are perennial weeds and grasses, then at least four leaves should already form on them. Thus, it is best to control weeds when they have already formed a leafy part.
You should also pay attention to the fact that you can treat the areas with this tool from the beginning of spring to the end of autumn. But, at the same time, it must be borne in mind that only green weeds should be treated when their system is working at full strength, and is susceptible to any stuffing. If the plant already withers or dries up, then the drug will not be able to move through the system of such a weed, so the tool will be completely ineffective. You should also pay attention to the fact that before spraying the herbicide, it is best not to exert mechanical action on the weeds. Do not mow them or weed them by hand, this will only worsen the effect of the drug. It is also worth giving up such actions about a week before weed treatment.
Chemical treatment of weeds with the help of the product is carried out due to the distribution of a pre-prepared solution. Usually, a garden sprayer is taken, which consists of a tank in which the agent will be located, as well as supply equipment, from which the agent will be sprayed onto the weeds that will be controlled.
How to dilute Hurricane Forte to get the remedy you need concentration? Several key actions should be followed in turn:
- the sprayer must be flushed, even if it was just purchased
- clean water is poured into the tank, about half of the total volume of the tank
- the consumption rate of the herbicide Hurricane Forte should be the one provided for in the instructions for controlling certain weeds, as well as the amount of the drug that will meet the goals of the gardener who plans to get rid of both annual and perennial weeds. Before sending the volume of the herbicide into the water, shake thoroughly the container in which it is located.
- after the herbicide Hurricane Forte has been added to the tank, it is necessary to add clean water to it, periodically stirring the contents thoroughly. This can be done both manually and mechanically. By the way, a mechanical device is provided by the design of the sprayer, so that the gardener can thus thoroughly mix the solution until it is homogeneous. The advantage of the drug is that it does not leave in the sediment, but attentiveness and thoroughness will also not interfere.
- if the gardener decided to use more than one drug, but several agents at once, then at the beginning, Hurricane Forte should be dissolved 1 liter according to all the above rules, and then, depending on the concentration, other agents should be diluted
- plants should be sprayed evenly, periodically it will not be superfluous to stir the solution inside the tank
- After the work on the site has been completed, it is best to thoroughly rinse all the tools that were used to treat the site. It is recommended that the gardener himself take a shower.
Before answering the question of how to dilute hurricane forte to destroy grass, it is worth noting that the solution already mixed cannot be stored, so it must be used on the same day on which it was mixed. Otherwise, the product loses its positive qualities, and after a day the solution is completely ineffective. Therefore, it is best to spray in the first 24 hours after reconstitution. It is effective, the cultivated plants available on the site can be covered with oilcloth or polyethylene so that the product does not get on them. This way you can protect cultures, prevent the continuous action of the drug from touching them, and this is an important condition for the safe use of the drug, in its effectiveness and significance.
Also, the gardener must observe elementary safety measures so that the use of Hurricane Forte in the garden is not traumatic - work in special clothing that does not allow particles of the drug to pass through, in gloves, a respirator and glasses. You can not smoke, eat or drink during processing, since through them the components of the drug can penetrate the human body. Despite its safety, the chemicals can cause an allergic reaction.
