Herbicide benefits
The drug Zenkor has certain advantages, paying attention to which many gardeners prefer it if they want to quickly get rid of weeds.

Zenkar's principle of operation
According to the instructions for use, Zenkor can be used for both domestic and industrial soil treatment against weeds. It is especially effective for controlling weeds on potatoes. It inhibits the growth of weeds without negatively affecting cultivated plants.
After the product enters the ground, the percentage of development of weeds is practically zero. At the same time, Zenkar's action does not depend on whether the weed has sprouted or not. Thus, after the first treatment, weeds are completely removed from the site.
Due to the formation of a protective film on the ground after herbicide treatments, the appearance of weeds on the site becomes impossible for a long time.
Zenkor ultra composition
The active ingredient of the herbicide is metribuzin. The chemical formula looks like this - C8H14N4OS. The active ingredient is a systemic pesticide. The death of weeds occurs due to the suppression of the transport of electrons in the process of photosynthesis. This causes the immediate death of the weeds. Zenkor Ultra destroys both monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous weeds.
Metribuzin enters the plant through the roots and leaves. Due to this dual effect, the drug has a long lasting effect. The active ingredient in Zenkora is 600 g / l.
Soil preparation before processing
Prepare the soil before diluting Zencor. This involves breaking up the clumps of clay and leveling the area. Further, Zenkor Ultra from weeds must be diluted according to the instructions for potatoes. The method of application consists in spraying the preparation over the surface of the site.
So, the soil will be moistened and the effect of metribuzin will increase. However, heavy rains will neutralize the Zenkora effect, so it is important to observe the weather forecast before tilling the soil.
Dilution instructions
The herbicide should be diluted depending on which plant needs to be destroyed.So, for cereals per 1 ha, there are 0.2–0.3 liters, for tomatoes - 0.7 liters per 1 ha, for potatoes - 0.75 liters per 1 ha. For carrots - 0.2–0.3 liters per hectare.
The use of Zenkora can have negative effects on pumpkin, beetroot, cabbage and peppers. Therefore, before killing weeds in an area with these plantings, it is important to test on one bush. Despite the fact that the herbicide can be used to treat the soil against weeds not on all plantings, it still remains the market leader. The drug is sold in the form of a powder or small, readily soluble granules.
It is not recommended to eat, drink and smoke before treating the soil from weeds. After carrying out all the work, wash your face and hands thoroughly with soap. The right approach to business will allow you to quickly and effectively eliminate weeds on the site. So, it is recommended to use a special tool for spraying the product, for example, a spray bottle. Thanks to him, you can evenly apply the product to the ground.
