Small plot owners are most likely to deal with weeds yourself. Weeding, loosening, mulching - we spent 3 stages and for some time 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. To the aid of gardeners come chemicals - herbicides. The name of the drugs comes from two Latin words: "herba" - herb and "caedo" - to kill. Consequently, these substances destroy herbs or vegetation.
Herbicides are classified according to the nature of their action. They are:
- Selective or selective action... These herbicides act selectively, destroying certain types of plants and without harming others. Great for use in summer cottages.
- Continuous action... Destroys vegetation of any kind throughout the area where they are applied. They are used in the development of new lands and around industrial facilities.
Glyphor is considered a popular continuous action herbicide among gardeners.
The use of "Glyfora" allows you to clear the garden from all types of weeds with minimal costs.
Many gardeners are afraid to use the Glyphor herbicide on their plots because of the toxicity of the active ingredient - 360 g / l of glyphosate acid. However, correct application and strict adherence to the requirements of the instructions will minimize possible problems.
Therefore, in the first days after applying "Glyphor" do not allow pets to stay on the treated area.

What effect does the Glyphor herbicide have? It reliably blocks the synthesis of aromatic amino acids in weeds, alters the permeability of cell membranes. Cell structures and osmotic pressure change, the weed loses its viability.
The systemic action of "Glyphor" against weeds ensures the destruction of all "green pests" common on the site. The active substance of the drug moves through the parts of the plant from aboveground to the root and retains its protective effect for up to 50 days.
And most importantly, the resistance (resistance) of plants to the drug was not noticed!
How can you tell if a herbicide is acting on a weed? On annuals, signs appear after 3-4 days, on perennials, you have to wait for symptoms for 10 days or more. First, wilting and yellowing of the leaves is observed. Then "Glyphor" penetrates into the root and the weed dies.
It should be noted the advantages of "Glyphor" against weeds over other drugs:
- acts quickly and reliably;

And now let's move on to the practical application of "Glyphor" against weeds.
Proper use of the herbicide
The release of the drug "Glyphor" is carried out in liquid form, which is very convenient for use. Before use, the herbicide must be diluted in water. The concentration depends on the type of plant you will be processing.
For instance:
- Treatment of the site before sowing spring crops, potatoes or other vegetables - 80 ml of "Glyphor" for a bucket of water for annual weeds and 120 ml for 10 liters for perennials. Spraying is carried out in the fall.
- In orchards and vineyards, in the fight against annual weeds, it is necessary to dilute 80 ml of the herbicide in a bucket of water; for perennial pests, 120 ml will be needed. Spraying is recommended in spring or summer, during the growing season of the weeds.
- For areas where planting or seeding is not planned, the concentration remains the same.
Important nuances:
- Apply the Glyphor herbicide as a spray of green mass. Root irrigation and pre-sowing soil treatment do not have the desired result.
- Use the prepared solution within 24 hours.
- Protect crops from the action of the herbicide. It is recommended to cover them or protect them in another convenient way from the ingress of solution.
The herbicide "Glyphor" is successfully used not only in summer cottages, but also in large fields. Has established itself as a reliable weed killer.
