Rules for the application of the herbicide "Tornado" for the protection of plants from weeds
Content
Description and characteristics of the herbicide
The "Tornado" weed control agent is actively used both in private gardens and in agricultural fields. It is so effective that even one drop of it can destroy the weed stem.
Purpose and mechanism of action
Weed poison is used everywhere: in vineyards, vegetable gardens, orchards and fields. The principle of action of the drug lies in the fact that the active components penetrate into the tissues of the plant. As a result, the synthesis of amino acids stops and the culture dies.
It should be noted that all parts of the plant die off, except for the seeds. That is why, in order to completely destroy the weed, it makes sense to carry out repeated treatments of the site.
Weed grass is completely saturated with herbicide 3-4 hours after treatment. However, the visible effect occurs at least on the 6th day, when the stem and leaves begin to turn yellow and wither. Complete destruction of the weed occurs after 14 days.
The herbicide kills about 150 weed species. The most effective "Tornado" in the fight against such plants:
- thymus;
- pig;
- wheatgrass;
- sedge;
- bindweed;
- cane;
- reeds.

Instructions for use
For the use of the herbicide to be as effective and safe as possible, it is necessary to study the instructions for use in detail.
Dosage and consumption rates
When treating the area where annual weeds grow, it is recommended to use the agent in a dosage of 25 ml per 3 liters of water. In the case of cereals, 50 ml should be used for the same volume of liquid. To eradicate more persistent weeds, such as ragweed, bindweed or purslane, the concentration of the substance should be increased to 75 ml.
When starting to prepare the solution, you should take into account the rate of its consumption:
- bush weeds - up to 8 liters;
- perennial and dicotyledonous - 6 liters;
- cereals and annuals - 4 liters.
The consumption of the drug also depends on the degree of infestation of the site and the type of weed.
Preparation of the solution
To prepare the solution, it is necessary to prepare a container, clean water and an ampoule with the substance. Shake the herbicide before adding the contents of the bottle to a bucket of water.
Terms and frequency of processing
The prepared composition must be used immediately, because its properties are lost quite quickly. It is better to carry out processing in the evening or in cloudy weather. A fundamentally important condition is the absence of wind, otherwise the herbicide can spread to other crops.
The frequency of processing directly depends on the type of weed and the goals pursued:
- in the case of a bush weed, one procedure per year will be enough;
- perennials should be re-sprayed after flowering;
- annual crops die after the first spraying, but their seeds, as a rule, germinate again, so after 2-3 months it is recommended to re-treat.
Compatibility with other drugs
To get the maximum result from the treatment, it is recommended to combine the herbicide with other drugs in this group. "Tornado" has the best compatibility with "Magnum", ammonium sulfate, ammonium nitrate, nitrogen fertilizers.
In the event that a more serious approach is required to destroy weeds, it is recommended to combine Tornado with BI-58 insecticide.
To increase the effectiveness of treatments, it makes sense to use means aimed at destroying weed seeds.
Personal safety measures
Despite the relative safety of the herbicide, it is still a chemical, and therefore requires compliance with basic safety rules:
- Processing should be carried out only in dry and calm weather. Otherwise, there is a great risk of the spread of toxic substances throughout the summer cottage.
- Before spraying, you must change into clothing that would cover the maximum number of body areas. It is also important to use rubber gloves and construction goggles.
- There should be no children, people suffering from respiratory diseases, the elderly, or pets near the area where the treatment is carried out.
- It is important to ensure that there is no food or drinking water near the treated area.
- If the drug nevertheless gets on the mucous membranes of the eyes, nose or mouth, immediately rinse the affected area with plenty of running water. If you experience itching, inflammation or an allergic reaction, you should immediately consult a doctor.
