The preparation
"Roundup" describes the
instructions for use as a universal remedy specially developed for the destruction of
weeds. Today it is one of the most famous herbicides in the world. At the same time, it is recommended to use the Roundup preparation as a systemic chemical substance of the so-called continuous action, that is, the plants are treated before emergence or immediately before sowing. It should be emphasized that this herbicide does not have any soil activity, affecting only young shoots and leaves. In addition, it is one of the safest drugs, both for humans and for the environment. As for where to buy "Roundup", today this tool can be purchased in almost every store offering goods for the garden.
This drug is produced in the form of a liquid that contains glyphosate, which acts as an active ingredient, and special surfactants that help keep glyphosate on the surface and its better penetration into leaves and shoots. Due to this complex effect, the Roundup tool (instructions for use confirms this) effectively affects both the underground and aboveground parts of plants, and ensures the complete destruction of dicotyledonous, cereal, annual and perennial weeds.
After direct application, the active and auxiliary substances present in the composition of this herbicide are completely absorbed by the tissues within four to six hours. Then, after five to seven days, the drug "Roundup" (instructions for use also attests to this) spreads to the roots of the plants, disrupting the synthesis of amino acids and thus causing the death of the plant.
In this case, the first signs of glyphosate action (yellowing and wilting of leaves) become noticeable within five to ten days after using the herbicide. Weeds are completely destroyed two to three weeks after treatment.
If we consider the main features of the use of this drug, it should first be noted that spraying is recommended to be carried out in calm weather during a period of intensive plant growth. Rain that has passed less than six hours after treatment can completely wash off the chemical from the leaves and significantly reduce the effect. In addition, the soil should not be loosened during the first five to seven days after spraying, since it is at this time that the Roundup preparation penetrates the roots. The instructions for use also emphasize that in order to avoid the death of cultivated plants, the latter should be covered with a film. In addition, do not use small spray guns during operation. And finally, you must always remember that plants are more sensitive to the action of the drug "Roundup" in the second half of summer.
