Miura weed killer in garden beds: instructions for use, how to use, reviews

Grass weeds have long been a real problem for gardeners and gardeners. Possessing powerful roots, they grow quickly, capturing large areas and inhibiting the development of vegetable crops. To get rid of such plants, graminicide preparations have been created, one of which is the herbicide Miura.

It is quite difficult to destroy cereal weeds without herbicides

Composition and release form

Miura pesticide is a post-emergence selective action product designed to get rid of annual as well as perennial weeds. While actively fighting unwanted vegetation, this chemical does not harm crop plants.

The active ingredient of the herbicide is chisalofop-P-ethyl.Its content in the finished product is 25% (125 g/l).

Miura is supplied to the retail chain in the form of a water-soluble emulsion in 4 ml glass ampoules and 12 ml bottles (for small garden plots), as well as in 5 liter canisters for use in large agricultural complexes.

The herbicide is produced in easy-to-use packaging

Operating principle

The active substance entering the vegetative parts of the plant quickly moves through its tissues, causing a disruption of lipid compounds. This leads to stunting of growth and death of the weed root system.

The first signs of wilting can be seen within a couple of days after treatment: plants deprived of nutrition acquire anthocyanin coloring, lose their elasticity and dry out after a while.

The work of the Miura herbicide can be fully assessed in about 2-3 weeks, when all the weeds in the beds have died.

Weeds turn yellow when exposed to herbicide

Advantages and disadvantages

The popularity of Miura herbicide is due to a large number of advantages. However, this drug also has disadvantages.

The herbicide destroys the root system of weeds, which eliminates the possibility of their subsequent germination

Pros:

• quickly and efficiently destroys almost all types of cereal weeds;
• to get rid of unwanted vegetation, a single use of the herbicide is sufficient;
• has high systemic activity, quickly penetrates plant tissues, destroying them;
• has a selective effect and does not have a negative effect on cultivated plants;
• can be used at different stages of crop development;
• can be used for processing mixed plantings;
• has a long period of protective action;
• compatible with a large number of herbicides that work on dicotyledonous weeds;
• is not difficult to use and store;
• quickly decomposes in the soil and does not harm the environment.

Minuses:

• does not destroy dicotyledonous weeds;
• does not affect grass that sprouts after treatment;

Preparation of working solution

The working solution retains its beneficial properties throughout the day, so it is recommended to prepare and use it on the day of preparation.

During work:

• Dissolve the dose of the drug indicated in the instructions in a small amount of water;
• fill the sprayer tank halfway with water;
• stirring continuously, add the mother liquor (Miura + water);
• add water to the required volume and mix again.

It is also necessary to stir the solution from time to time (or simply shake the sprayer) during the spraying process. This will help maintain its uniformity.

The consumption rate of Miura herbicide is 8 ml per 10 liters of water for treating beds against annual weeds. To destroy perennials, the concentration of the solution is doubled.

The expected consumption of the working composition will be 200-300 liters per 1 hectare or 2-3 liters per hundred square meters.

The prepared solution is poured into the sprayer

Instructions for use of the drug Miura

The spectrum of action of the Miura CE herbicide is described in the instructions for use. The drug works on both annual and perennial plants.

Treating beds with a chemical will help get rid of:

• gray and green bristles;

• chaff;
• canary grass;
• bluegrass;
• wild oats;
• self-seeding grains;
• bentgrass;

Annual cereal weeds are treated no earlier than four true leaves appear. Ideally, do this during the period of tillering or flowering of weeds. Perennial specimens are best sprayed when their height reaches 10-15 cm.

The beds should be treated in dry, windless, preferably cloudy weather. Recommended temperature +18-25 °C.

To effectively get rid of weeds, a single use of Miura herbicide is sufficient.

The period of protective action of the drug is 60 days.

Contraindications for the use of the herbicide are diseases of vegetable crops and damage to them by harmful insects. The plants must first be cured, and only then the beds must be sprayed with Miura.

Experts do not recommend carrying out such treatment during periods of severe drought, recurrent frosts or prolonged rains, when crop plants are under stress.

Miura herbicide on potatoes

Potato beds can be treated with Miura herbicide at any phase of the development of this crop. It is recommended to spray annual and perennial weeds, including creeping wheatgrass, at the stage of the appearance of the fourth leaf.

To get rid of weeds, potatoes are sprayed once a season. The herbicide consumption is 400-800 ml/ha.

Potatoes can be eaten 60 days after treatment with herbicide

Miura herbicide on tomatoes and cucumbers

To process tomatoes and cucumbers, use a solution prepared at the rate of 8 ml per 10 liters of water. The herbicide waiting period for this crop is 30 days.

During fruiting, processing the bushes is strictly prohibited.

Miura herbicide on beets and cabbage

Plantings of beets and cabbage, like all other vegetable crops, are treated for weeds once a season. It is recommended to spray the beds when the weeds reach a height of approximately 15 cm.

The waiting period for Miura herbicide for these crops is 60 days, the consumption of the drug is 400-800 ml/ha, depending on the type and size of weeds.

Strawberries and raspberries are processed before the budding period

Is it possible to treat wheat with Miura herbicide?

This herbicide works on cereal plants, so it is not recommended to use it for treating wheat. Otherwise, the growth of grain crops can be slowed down.

Compatibility with other tools

Considering the low effectiveness of the Miura herbicide against dicotyledonous weeds, in the process of preparing a working solution it is often combined with other drugs that work on these plants.

So, for example, to process beds with beets, tomatoes, cucumbers and cabbage, a working solution is made, which includes Miura and Biceps, Hacker, Triceps or Pilot. Spraying with Miura + Fabian or Corsair will help clear potato plantings of weeds, and Magnum or Herbitox can be used as accompanying preparations for treating non-agricultural areas.

When mixing drugs, make two stock solutions
