Owners of small plots most often cope with weeds on one's own. Weeding, loosening, mulching - 3 stages were carried out and for a while you can forget about the formidable weeds. But what if you don’t even have 10 acres, but more? In such areas, weeding will be a daily tedious task. Chemicals - herbicides - come to the aid of gardeners. The name of the drugs comes from two Latin words: “herba” - grass and “caedo” - to kill. Therefore, these substances destroy grass or vegetation.
Herbicides are classified according to the nature of their action. They are:
- Selective or selective action. These herbicides act selectively, killing certain types of plants and not harming others. Excellent for use in summer cottages.
- Continuous action. Destroy vegetation of any kind in the entire area where they are used. They are used in the development of new lands and around industrial facilities.
Glyfor is considered a popular continuous herbicide among gardeners.
Using Glyfor allows you to clear your garden of all types of weeds at minimal cost.
Many gardeners are afraid to use the herbicide "Glyfor" on their plots because of the toxicity of the active substance - 360 g/l glyphosate acid.However, proper use and strict adherence to the instructions will minimize possible problems.
Therefore, in the first days after using Glyfor, do not allow pets to be in the treated area.
Instructions for use, reviews from summer residents and advice from experts will help you use “Glyfor” against weeds correctly on your site.
Properties of the drug "Glyfor"

Summer residents include dandelion, bindweed or birch, and sow thistle as harmful weeds.
What effect does the herbicide "Glyfor" have? It reliably blocks the synthesis of aromatic amino acids in weeds and changes the permeability of cell membranes. Cellular structures and osmotic pressure change, the weed loses its viability.
The systemic action of “Glyfor” against weeds ensures the destruction of all “green pests” common in the area. The active substance of the drug moves through parts of the plant from aboveground to the root and retains a protective effect for up to 50 days.
And most importantly, plant resistance to the drug was not noticed!
How can you tell if a herbicide is working on a weed? On annuals, symptoms appear after 3-4 days; on perennial plants, you have to wait 10 days or more for symptoms. Initially, the leaves wilt and turn yellow. Then Glyfor penetrates the root and the weed dies.

- In orchards and vineyards, when fighting annual weeds, you need to dilute 80 ml of herbicide in a bucket of water; for perennial pests you will need 120 ml. Spraying is recommended in spring or summer, during the weed growing season.
