Lazurit is a modern remedy that helps to get rid of unwanted plants. Further in the article, we will consider the instructions for the use of Lazurite from weeds, and also see all the advantages and disadvantages of this drug.
Description of the drug
Lapis lazuli is a weed killer that is used on plantings with potatoes and tomatoes. The substance is able to quickly penetrate into the plant. The effect of the drug is visible almost immediately after application. The components act very quickly, due to which the beds are completely cleared of weeds in a short time.
The tool is capable of affecting 50 types of weeds known to all. This includes all of the most common plants that most often infest our sites. After the weeds have dried, the effect of the drug lasts for 2 weeks. So there is no need to be afraid that the weeds will reappear soon. It is quite easy to prepare a solution of the substance. The tool is accompanied by detailed instructions, which clearly describe all stages of work. In addition, this drug is relatively inexpensive.
The advantage of the preparation is that there is no need to wait for the germination of weeds. You can work the soil even before the first shoots of weeds appear. It acts very quickly, leading to the complete wilting of the weeds.
The principle of operation of Lazurite
The secret of such an active action of Lazurite lies in a special component. It is called metribuzin. A kilogram of the product contains about 700 grams of this substance. Such a high concentration helps to get rid of a huge amount of weeds in a short time.
Before use, the drug must be diluted with water. During watering, the solution penetrates to the roots of the weeds. But you can use the product externally. To do this, the prepared solution is poured into a container and the plants are sprayed with a sprayer. Lapis lazuli is able to completely clean even a very clogged area. For 2 weeks, the substance will affect the plants, and at the end of this period they will die.
The drug remains in the ground and continues to act for 1-2 months. This period depends entirely on weather conditions. In sunny weather, Lapis Lazuli will remain active for a long time, and if it rains, then, after a month, it will be better to repeat the procedure.
How to use Lapis Lazuli
The first treatment of the site is carried out even before the weeds germinate. Immediately before the procedure, it is necessary to loosen and water the soil. Then you should wait a little so that the soil settles a little. The procedure should be carried out only on a warm, windless day. Thanks to this, the spray of the drug will not spread to other plants.
To process one square meter of a bed, you will need about 1–1.5 kg of the drug. If weeds are sprayed twice.Then the second time the drug is used no earlier than the planted plants grow up to 5 cm. For the second spraying, the concentration of the substance should be weaker, we take about 400 grams of the drug per 1 square meter of the garden.
Preparation of funds
Before preparing the product, you need to know some important rules:
- The prepared solution must be used immediately for spraying.
- The remaining solution should either be used on another bed, or disposed of. He is not able to maintain properties for a long period of time.
Next, proceed directly to the preparation of the mixture:
- Mix the substance from the package thoroughly.
- The required amount of water is poured into the prepared container.

In order not to harm cultivated plants, take into account the ratio of water and preparation. Lapis lazuli in the mixture should be no more than 0.5%. The rest of the solution is poured out of the container and washed thoroughly.
Important Tips
Do not under any circumstances exceed the amount of the drug in the mixture. Conversely, in light and loose soils, the concentration can be slightly reduced. The dosage indicated on the packaging is suitable for heavy soils. In sandy soil or with a lack of humus, it is undesirable to use this substance. Also, do not use the product on too dry soil. If there are pests on the site, then first preventive measures are taken to eliminate them, and only then can the soil be treated with Lapis Lazuli.
Compatibility with other drugs
Manufacturers do not prohibit the use of Lapis Lazuli at the same time with other substances. This will not only save the drug, but also improve its effect on weeds. However, the solution must be homogeneous. Therefore, it is necessary to thoroughly mix the preparations in the solution. These combined herbicides should also be applied immediately after preparation.
When you can not use the remedy
It is not advised to use the product in such cases:
- If the cultivated plants were planted very early.
- If the seedlings are affected by frost.
- In beds with plants that do not react well to herbicides.

when can I water after treatment
Good day!
When working with herbicides, including Lapis Lazuli, you must adhere to the following rules:
1. Work on damp soil only. The day before treatment, the site must be well watered. On the day of processing, it is undesirable to water the beds.
2. Neither before nor after spraying the beds with Lapis Lazuli is it impossible to loosen or dig up the soil in any case !!!!
3. Treat the site only in sunny weather. It is advisable to choose a day so that there is no precipitation on the day of processing and the next 2 days.
4. Watering the beds treated with Lapis lazuli can be done no earlier than in 7-10 days. However, if necessary, during the drought period, you can water the beds, but without fanaticism, not earlier than 4-5 days after treatment, since abundant watering can wash the introduced herbicide into the lower layers of the soil.
It is worth noting that during the period of drought, the effectiveness of the drug is significantly reduced.
We wish you high yields!
