The lawn is the main decoration of the plots near the house. A thick green carpet creates a cozy, but at the same time refined look of the garden landscape, goes well with ornamental shrubs, conifers, and a variety of flower plants. But, like any plant, grass also needs proper care. And the weeds are not dormant, after a few years a neat emerald carpet may begin to resemble untidy rags. To prevent this from happening, lawn herbicides are needed.
The main enemies of a beautiful lawn are dicotyledonous grasses, which eventually begin to displace cereals. These include dandelion, plantain, they are most common. There may also be sorrel, paznik, hawk. Therefore, lawn herbicides should primarily act on these grasses. Herbs may also include ranunculus and clover, but they do not always need to be considered weeds because they are added to herbal mixtures toreinforcements, they increase the resistance to abrasion and give density. Therefore, it is important to know which lawn herbicides to choose.
The most effective today are the electoral means used to cultivate the lawn. They penetrate into all parts of the plant, act for three weeks, do not require frequent processing. These herbicides are made from 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic and dichlorophenoxyacetic acids. They were developed in the middle of the twentieth century, but are still very effective in the fight against
weeds. Preparations based on these chemical compounds are of several types: granular, liquid and aerosol.
Granular herbicide - the most popular, in addition to weed control, it also contains nitrogen fertilizers. Such a composition speeds up the process of action. A liquid control works faster than a powdered one, but it can damage other ornamental plants. Experts advise when working with it to also add nitrogen-containing fertilizers. The drug in the form of an aerosol, one might say, is intended for topical use, that is, they need to spray each plant, getting into the center of the outlet. Therefore, it is good to use it if the area is small, and weeds have just appeared on it, in a single amount.
How to use lawn herbicides correctly? You must carefully study the instructions. The drug must be allowed for use in household plots, and not on an industrial scale, it must destroyit is dicotyledonous grasses, and not cereals, such as the Panther herbicide, which is designed to control weeds in vegetable gardens. If you choose the wrong remedy, it will only cause harm. There is another herbicide - "STOMP", it acts on dicotyledons, but also on cereals. It is worth paying attention to drugs such as Mecoprop, Decamba, Dichlorprol. It is necessary to process the lawn on a calm day, it is desirable that there is no rain, otherwise it will simply wash off the preparation. Before you start fighting weeds, the grass needs to be mowed. The grass itself should be dry and the soil moist. And one more thing: the event will be successful if it is held during the period of active grass growth. The granular herbicide is distributed evenly over the entire area. The liquid preparation is dispensed with a sprayer while maintaining precautions.
