Benefits
Helios has a number of advantages. We suggest to get acquainted with them.
- The purpose of the active ingredient of the drug is to destroy the above-ground and root systems of weeds, which is extremely important when destroying perennial weedy weedy plants.
Did you know? Previously, herbicides were actively used not only to combat weeds, but also to destroy the fields of coca and marijuana.
- It has a high efficiency of annihilation of annual and perennial weeds in areas where spring and winter crops are planted, which contributes to the preservation of moisture and ensuring the timeliness of germination.
- It helps to reduce the level of contamination of territories, which makes it possible to carry out less often mechanical processing of the earth.
- It does not have soil activity, which makes it possible to carry out planting immediately after treatment.
- Helps reduce the cost of purchasing fuel and lubricants, as it allows you to speed up and facilitate the process of harvesting.
- The active components that make up the preparation linger for a long time on the surface of the culture, which reduces the loss of funds during evaporation or weathering.
Operating principle
The principle of "Helios" is to suppress the production of amino acids that are in plant cells. This helps to stop the production of chlorophyll, which leads to the death of the ground and root parts of the weed. The unique composition and modern technologies used in the production allow the herbicide to instantly penetrate the foliage and move swiftly throughout the weed.
Important! Use herbicide is possible only during the growing season of weeds. The drug has no effect on weeds, which appeared after treatment with the agent.When processing annual plants, chlorosis begins to manifest after 2–5 days, and weed death occurs. Perennial plants need a little more time - they die in 2-3 weeks.
Preparation of working solution
The preparation of the mixture should be done immediately before the scheduled processing. It contains the following steps:
- Water is poured into the sprayer's container so that it fills half its volume.
- Then the mixer is turned on, the herbicide is poured according to the instructions.
- Water is added to the tank.
- Processing plants.
Important! To improve processing efficiency during the procedure, the agitator must be in the on state.
After the application is made, mechanical treatment can be carried out no earlier than 12-14 days after the procedure.
Method and time of processing, substance consumption
The method of processing plants consists in a single spraying of weeds, which are in the stage of active vegetation. For the greatest efficiency during the procedure, it is recommended to choose dry weather without gusts of wind, the air temperature should be between + 13 ° C and + 25 ° C. If it is planned to rain according to the forecast, it is worthwhile either to transfer the spraying or to perform it 6 hours before the expected precipitation. Spraying plants should be at least 2 weeks before plowing or cultivation is carried out.
Sprayed weeds and such drugs as "Agrokiller", "Hurricane Forte" and "Biathlon".
The procedure should be carried out when there is an active growth of weeds. At the same time, on perennial cereals there should be 4-5 sheets of 10-15 cm each, on perennial dicotyledons there should be 10-12 cm sockets, on annual cereals - 5 cm leaves, on annual dicotyledons - 2-3 leaves. As a rule, one treatment per season is enough to kill weeds. The rates of consumption of the drug vary and depend on the treated plants. We offer to familiarize with the main ones:
- cereals - 3-6 l / ha;
- shrubs, fruit trees - 5-8 l / ha;
- winter and spring: annuals - 2-5 l / ha, perennial - 4-6 l / ha;
- grape crops - 4-6 l / ha.
Wheat and barley can be processed using the air method. In this case, the flow rate of the solution will be 100 l / ha.
Safety measures at work
Despite the fact that the drug is not dangerous to humans, all procedures relating to the processing and preparation for it must be carried out in rubber gloves. During spraying it is recommended to wear a protective mask to prevent the substance from getting on the face and mucous membranes. After the procedure is worth washing your hands and face thoroughly.
Storage conditions
Store the drug is recommended in a dark place in closed packaging. Keep it to no more than 3 years.
