Every summer resident with the beginning of the gardening season again faces the problem of removing weed from their beds and throughout the entire site. Putting plantings in order is not always easy, because not only annual weeds grown from seeds can grow on the site, but also perennials with a powerful root system. The process of fighting weeds is quite painful, you have to spend a long time in an inclined position, by the evening your back becomes weak and your legs hurt.
Is it possible to somehow simplify the struggle process? Of course, some gardeners and gardeners use different hoes and flat cutters. But the grass continues to grow again. The attitude towards herbicides is ambiguous, especially since it is undesirable to use them on plantings. Today there are preparations that do not harm garden and vegetable plantings if you treat weeds with them, following the instructions. One of the popular and safe remedies is Tornado weed killer. We will try to convince the skeptics and prove that the product is safe and destroys weeds where site owners need it.
Description
We are used to destroying weeds manually, spending a lot of time on the work. All this looks just like in the photo.
But you can make agricultural work several times easier, leaving time for active recreation, if you use modern safe means. Look at the photos to see what the area looked like before Tornado treatment, and what happened after it. Beautiful, isn't it?
Tornado is a ready-to-use solution containing isopropylamine salt of glyphosate. This product was developed by scientists to kill weeds. Release form - bottles of different volumes - 100, 500, 1000 ml, which creates additional convenience for plot owners. You can choose any amount of the drug.
Weed killer Tornadoes are harmless to all organisms. But since this is a chemical product, you need to know what properties it has:
- Tornado is called a systemic herbicide. Penetrates through the leaves, and then with the juice throughout the plant. After treating the area with the drug, you can be sure of one hundred percent death of weeds.
- Since Tornado weed poison does not have a selective property, it can destroy all plants, including cultivated ones, if it gets on their leaves. That is why it can be used before sowing or directly during sowing.
- Simultaneously with sowing, you can treat the soil against weeds with Tornado, if the seeds are “long-lasting”, that is, seedlings appear no earlier than in a week.
- Plant roots are not able to absorb this drug, so plants need to be treated when they have green mass. Thus, the poison does not get into fruits and root crops and does not affect the quality of the crop.
- With Tornado weed killer, there is no change in the soil: it does not accumulate. Once in the soil, the isopropylamine salt of glyphosate, after bonding with metal atoms, disintegrates without penetrating deeper.
Features of application
We have already noted that the drug Tornado against weeds does not harm plants or humans. But this is only if the working solution is prepared correctly and the instructions are followed.
The question of how to breed Tornado to kill weeds on a site, how to use it, concerns not only novice gardeners and gardeners, but also those whose experience amounts to decades.
Let's take a closer look at the instructions:
- The drug in bottles is a mother solution from which a product for treating the area is prepared. Once you have prepared the solution, use it immediately. The diluted liquid cannot be stored.
- For dilution you need to use soft water, adding a little ammonium sulfate. To prevent the solution from immediately flowing off the treated plants, you need to add a Macho adhesion agent. It will help the poison stay on the plants.
Dilution of the solution for different applications
Since the drug Tornado is used in different places on the site, it is diluted as follows:
- In the garden and vineyard, when cultivating row spacing, add 10 to 25 ml of Tornado per liter of water.
- Before planting, weeds are sprayed with a solution of 15-25 ml per liter jar of water.
- A more concentrated solution is prepared on the side of the site, as well as along paths where cultivated plants will not be planted: from 20 to 25 ml/l.
- If you need to destroy large perennial weeds that have grown to the size of shrubs, then add up to 40 ml of Tornado to a liter jar of water.
When and how to spray weeds
The destruction of weeds on the site is carried out in dry, windless weather or early in the morning when the dew has dried or after 4 o’clock in the afternoon.
As a rule, weeds are destroyed using Tornado once a season: before planting or after the crop is harvested.
If you need to prepare a lawn for sowing perennial grass, you need to start eliminating weeds 14 days before sowing.
If needed destroy weeds in plantings, they are covered with film. Look at the photo how the gardener works so that you don’t accidentally spray the pepper with poison.
In areas not occupied by cultivated plants, you can spray Tornado against weeds all over the place. When working, maintain a distance of at least 3 cm.
Security measures
Since Tornado for weed control is a toxic substance and belongs to hazard class 3, working with it requires care. It is safe for humans, animals and insects, but the product should not be poured into water bodies.
It is important!
- Work is carried out in personal protective equipment.
- Smoking, eating or drinking while working is prohibited.
- If the solution gets into your eyes or skin, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical attention.
- If the drug gets into the stomach, induce vomiting by drinking water with absorbents before the procedure. Do not take any further measures on your own, but call an ambulance.
- After completing the work, you need to send the clothes to the wash, wash well with soap and warm water.
- The Tornado bottle must be burned. Pour the remaining solution onto the treated soil.
Conclusion
We talked about how to use Tornado weed killer. But gardeners, judging by the reviews, are interested in how long weeds will not grow on the site. As a rule, such treatment does not get rid of weeds forever. After all, most of them reproduce by seeds; they can always be carried by the wind from a neighboring garden.
But if you used the Tornado product, then this year the weeding of your garden will be significantly reduced.
Used Tornado twice. I diluted 100 ml per 8 liters of water. The result is zero. The weed remained unharmed. It was like pouring water on it.
Good afternoon, dear Irina!
Potatoes that were not damaged by the effects of the Tornado can be eaten. However, keep in mind that at least 3-4 weeks must pass after processing the potatoes before they can be eaten. Earlier use may cause acute poisoning.
