Benefits of using Agrokiller
Each product has its own characteristics that distinguish it from other similar drugs. Thus, many gardeners and farmers prefer to use Agrokiller for a number of reasons:
- The use of the drug allows you to remove difficult-to-eradicate weeds from the garden/field. This is possible due to the high concentration of the active substance.
- After the plants interact with the drug, the green mass and roots completely die off.
- Wide temperature range, which allows soil treatment.
- Due to the lack of soil activity, the drug does not affect crops, which allows the field to be treated immediately before sowing.
Instructions for use
The ideal time to use the herbicide is 2 weeks before the start of sowing and planting. This period of time is sufficient for the death of weeds. After 14 days after processing the field, you can begin sowing and planting cultivated plants.
Preparation of the solution
To destroy common weeds, dilute 30–40 ml of Agrokiller in 3 liters of water. With this dosage it is not possible to destroy harmful weeds, so you need to make a more concentrated solution for them - 40–50 ml per 3 liters of water.This amount of liquid can treat 100 m2 fields.
The composition should be sprayed over the green part of the weeds. All work should be carried out in the morning/evening in calm weather. If the drug dries quickly under the rays of the scorching sun, the effect will be less noticeable. The period of absorption of Agrokiller into plants is 5–6 hours. If it rains during this time, part of the solution will be washed off and the product will no longer be as effective as indicated in the product description.
Agrokiller is produced in containers with a capacity of 40, 90 and 500 ml. This displacement is enough for amateur gardeners. To destroy weeds in large farms, larger capacity containers are needed, so 1 and 5 liters of solution can be purchased on the market.
