The herbicide "Gonor" is a soil-active herbicide. It helps control annual broadleaf weeds and some types of grass. To achieve the desired results when using the product, it is important to strictly follow the instructions. Compliance with safety regulations is also crucial.
Composition, release forms and purpose
The active ingredient in this medication is prometrin. One liter of the medication contains 500 grams of this component. The formulation is a suspension concentrate.
How it works
The product is absorbed by the weed sprouts and root system. Its active ingredient is also absorbed by the above-ground fragments that have emerged. The active ingredient inhibits photosynthesis in susceptible weeds. Furthermore, it forms compounds that disrupt plant cell membranes, leading to their death.
Thanks to its long-lasting soil action, the product protects crops for 4-10 weeks. The exact period depends on soil composition and climate conditions. Application rates also affect this period.
Advantages of the product
The main advantages of the drug include the following:
- suppression of the activity of many annual dicotyledonous weeds and cereal grass;
- long-lasting protective effect;
- convenient release form;
- the possibility of cultivating beds before and after planting;
- fast acting;
- well-known active substance;
- no restrictions on the choice of crops in crop rotation.
Calculation of consumption for plants
The dosage and features of use of the product are given in the table:
| Culture | Weeds | Consumption of the preparation, liters per 1 hectare | Consumption of working solution, liters per 1 hectare | Features of use | Waiting period (number of treatments) |
| Carrots, except bunched | Annual dicotyledonous plants and cereal grass | 1.5-3 | 200-300 | Spraying the beds is required before planting, before the emergence of sprouts and at the stage of 1-2 true leaves. | 60 (1) |
| Sunflower
|
2-3.5 | Spraying the beds is required before planting, during sowing, or before the plant sprouts appear. | |||
| Soybeans, peas grown for grains | 2.5-3.5 | It is necessary to spray the soil before the sprouts appear. | |||
| Chickpeas | 3 | ||||
| Potatoes, except early ones | 2-3.5 | ||||
| Coriander | 2-3 |
The timeframe for people to safely enter treated areas to carry out mechanized work is 3 days.
How to prepare a working mixture
To prepare the working solution, fill a quarter or half of the sprayer tank with clean water. With the agitator running, add the calculated amount of solution and continue filling the sprayer tank with water. Mix the solution simultaneously.
It's important to continue mixing during application to ensure the working solution remains uniform. The solution consumption per hectare is 200-300 liters. The working solution must be used within a few hours of preparation.
Instructions for use
To ensure the product produces the desired results, it's important to strictly follow the instructions for use. When using the product pre-emergence, the soil must be moist and properly prepared. The product is applied after planting, before the shoots emerge. It's best to do this immediately after the last mechanical treatment.
The effectiveness of soil herbicides is directly affected by climate factors. Avoid applying the substance in conditions of high humidity or low temperatures.
When planting carrots, the optimal time is considered to be the stage of 1-2 true leaves. The maximum dosage is used for heavy soil types. After application, it is not recommended to loosen the soil between rows.
Precautionary measures
When using the substance, it is recommended to observe the following rules:
- The composition is effective only against certain varieties of grass weeds. Therefore, for successful control of annual grass plants, graminicides are required.
- You should not treat the soil after applying the product, as this will reduce its effectiveness.
- When applying the substance, it is necessary to avoid its drift onto nearby cultivated plants.
However, the drug is prohibited for use in the following cases:
- in the sanitary zone of fishery waters;
- by aviation methods;
- in private households.
How toxic is it?
The product is classified as hazard class 3, meaning it is a moderately hazardous compound.
When applied according to the instructions, the herbicide does not cause phytotoxic effects on carrots, potatoes, or peas. If there was a summer drought in the year the herbicide was applied, rapeseed and winter cereals should not be planted in the fall. The same applies to perennial grasses. Any crops can be planted the following spring.
Possible compatibility
The herbicide combines well in tank mixes with soil-applied herbicides. This helps more effectively control annual grass weeds and some broadleaf grass species.
Storage conditions and periods
The medication can be stored in its original packaging for 2 years at temperatures ranging from -10 to +30 degrees Celsius.
Analogues
Effective analogues of the drug include:
- Promet
