With the beginning of the warm season, gardeners and gardeners have a lot of trouble. If planting and sowing cultivated plants and caring for them is a pleasure, then cleaning weed - real hell. Moreover, they grow not only on ridges and lawns, but throughout the entire site.
Novice gardeners are wondering how to reduce the time and effort spent on weed control. Today you can purchase various chemicals that destroy weeds. This simultaneously simplifies and complicates the selection process. Among the effective means, gardeners highlight Lintur, a product designed to combat weeds on lawns. The rules for using the herbicide and instructions for use will be discussed.
Description of the drug
With the help of the herbicide Lintur, a high-tech drug, you can destroy any weeds, including perennial ones. It is especially convenient to use it for lawns and garden paths in spring and autumn. Lintur has a weed control program for the protection of grain crops and grass lawns.
The form of the drug is water-dispersible granules containing dicamba (sodium salt). They dissolve well in water.Kilogram packaging of Lintur herbicide for farm plots. For the dacha, the weight of the bag is 5 grams. It is convenient to use the product when diluting the solution: there is a measuring cup. Each package of Lintur comes with instructions for use, so you don’t have to look for additional information.
How does the herbicide work?
The drug Lintur, created in Switzerland, has a contact effect. The herbicide acts on both the green mass of weeds and the root system. The weed killer Lintur, according to reviews from gardeners, acts quickly on plants; they immediately stop growing and developing. The fact is that when the product gets into the weed through the leaves, it interferes with metabolic processes. Protein stops being synthesized, which leads to the death of weeds.
A week later, under the influence of Lintur, the leaves on the weeds turn pale and the stems wither. The final retreat of weeds in the area can be noticed after 18-21 days, if there was no precipitation at that time. Only after this can the weeds be removed from the treated area.
Herbicide Lintur helps to easily cope with:
- dandelion and buttercup;
- gentian and plantain;
- quinoa and chamomile;
- agaric and biting midge;
- wild radishes and other weeds that have settled on the lawn.
Advantages
- Cultivated monocotyledonous plants and lawns do not become overgrown with weeds for a long time after treatment.
- When harvesting cereal crops with Lintur, there is no need to clean the seeds.
- Efficiency is achieved even with a single treatment.
- Lintur herbicide is economical; one sachet is enough for large areas.
Compatibility with other herbicides
Some novice gardeners are interested in whether it is possible to mix this weed killer with others. Lintur does not have any contraindications for compatibility. As gardeners note in reviews, any herbicides that protect grain crops can be used to give a double blow to weeds:
- Alto Super;
- Karate;
- Aktara and others.
But as a rule, first they carefully read the instructions and test for compatibility.
Instructions

If the daily air temperature fluctuates, it is better not to spray the plants, but to wait for favorable weather. The effectiveness of Lintur against weeds is higher at temperatures of +15 - +25 degrees. The use of herbicide in cold weather or after the weeds have faded is ineffective.
- Manufacturers of the drug Lintur for weeds recommend treating weeds twice a day. They are sprayed for the first time in May-June, when the active growing season begins. At this time, the plants should have from 2 to 6 leaves. Then after harvest.
- When using Lintur for lawns, you must first mow the tall grass a few days before treatment. Choose a dry day without wind. If rain is expected, it is better to postpone spraying the weeds. Complete treatment with the herbicide Lintur is not suitable for existing lawns; weeds are destroyed point by point, while the cultivated plants need to be covered so that the solution does not get on them.
- If the lawn is newly formed, it is treated with solid grass. Dry grass is removed after complete drying. The lawn is dug up and sown with herbs.
Features of preparing the working solution

Hello Alena! Thank you very much for the answer and information. Tomorrow June 30th I will mow, but today it rained for me.
The lawn is already four years old and has always been pleasing to the eye, but this year it came out of winter frozen and was immediately attacked by weeds. I bought the drug Lintur and processed everything according to the instructions, but I have questions:
— How many days after treatment can you mow the lawn?
— after how many days can you water the lawn?
Please answer to make everything right.
Hello, Anatoly! I'm working on your question.
Anatoly, you can water it after 6 hours, but it’s better to wait a day. You can mow after 3 days.
Please tell me, I heard that if the lawn is not even a year old, then you can’t treat it with lintur? I planted the lawn in April and the weed is already dead. I bought Lentur and I’m wondering if I should process it or not!
Good afternoon, dear Raisa!
There are no contraindications for treating the lawn depending on the planting date. However, they may exist for a particular variety of lawn grass. In your case, you need to find information about the variety that is planted on your site and study the instructions. If this is not possible, you can test Lintur in a small area. If after 2-3 weeks everything is in order and your lawn retains its well-groomed appearance, then you can treat the entire area.
Hello Alena! I asked questions, but they didn’t answer me. Help if you know. How many days after treatment can you buy and water your lawn? Thanks in advance for your help.
I take a double dose of 2 5L packets + mix with Lontrel 300. Half of the plot has been happy since that year. I'm waiting for the results in the second half of this year. Processed it a couple of days ago.
