Specialized products called herbicides have been developed and used to combat weeds. They suppress weeds and prevent their growth. These products are used to treat all cultivated plants and lawns. Let's look at the composition and action of the Lintur herbicide, how to prepare the solution and application rates, as well as alternatives for household use.
Composition and existing forms of release
The herbicide "Lintur" contains two active ingredients: dicamba and triasulfuron. The former regulates plant growth, while the latter inhibits the production of non-essential amino acids. Both active ingredients are able to penetrate the leaves and roots of weeds. As a result, their growth is inhibited, the leaves and stems turn yellow, and the weeds die. The first signs of yellowing can be seen 5-7 days after spraying, and weed death occurs within 2-3 weeks. The time required for complete weed control depends on weather conditions and the type of weed.
The herbicide is available in the form of granules in small-capacity packages of 1.5 and 1.8 g and in professional packaging of 1 kg (with a measuring cup).
Advantages of the drug
"Lintur" is designed to destroy annual and perennial weeds, including sow thistle, cruciferous plants, amaranth, chamomile, dandelion and other species that are considered difficult to remove.
Mechanism of action
Dicamba is absorbed by leaves and, in moist soil, by roots; the substance migrates to the growing points and inhibits them. Triasulfuron, penetrating plants in the same way, inhibits weed growth. Its effect begins immediately after application. Lintur herbicide also acts on the soil, preventing weed seed germination.
The drug is aimed at combating more than 200 species of weeds.
Calculation of consumption for different plants
Use 1.8 g of the product per 5 liters of water. Apply the solution to 100 square meters of lawn. Do not use on grass-based lawns.
Preparation of working solution
When handling Lintur, wear protective clothing, gloves, and a respirator. Prepare the solution in a separate non-food container. First, fill it with water to 1/3 of its volume, add the required amount of granules, and mix. Pour the liquid into a sprayer and add water to reach the required volume. Stir the solution while spraying. Use the herbicide within 2-3 hours.
Instructions for use
The frequency of spraying with Lintur is once. According to the instructions, the application period is May to early June or August to early September. The lawn should be mowed 3-4 days before spraying.
Precautionary measures
Apply Lintur herbicide in dry, windless weather, at wind speeds up to 5 m/s. Do not apply after rain or dew. Wait one day after watering the lawn, and do not water for two hours after spraying. Keep animals and children away from the lawn for three days after application.
Possible compatibility
Lintur herbicide is compatible with pesticides, but a test is required before mixing. Do not mix or use with growth regulators.
Storage rules
Store the herbicide in its original packaging for 3 years. Store in a dry, dark place, away from food and feed. Once opened, use the liquid promptly. The solution should not be stored; it must be used within the same day.
Similar means
To kill weeds in your lawn, you can use products such as Uragan, Clear, Roundup, and Golf. These herbicides are designed to be applied to the soil before the grass begins to grow back in the spring.
Lintur is a powerful product that kills perennial and annual weeds on lawns. A single treatment is sufficient. It comes in a small package, sufficient for treating a private property. Professional packaging is also available for use on larger areas.
