The product is effective against weeds twice over. It initially suppresses and completely stops their growth, and after a while, it causes their death.

If the instructions are followed, resistance does not develop. A distinctive feature of this herbicide is that it only affects plants that have sprouted at the time of application. Therefore, to kill any grass that has emerged after chemical application, cultivate between the rows. This should be done after 1.5-2 weeks.

How quickly does it work?

The product is fast-acting. After application, weed growth stops within 6 hours. The final death of unwanted vegetation occurs within a week. These timeframes are appropriate under favorable conditions.

However, they can increase in the following cases:

  • unfavorable climatic conditions - during processing and at the initial stage of the substance's action;
  • the peak of physiological maturation of the weed - the period also increases if it is at the stage of confidently achieving it.

Under unfavourable conditions, the maximum period required to control weeds is considered to be 3 weeks.

How to prepare a working mixture

It's important to keep the mixer running while spraying crops. This helps maintain the homogeneity of the product. If Milagro is to be combined with other pesticides, it should be added after the SP and WDG. In this case, the product is used before the SC and EC.

To ensure successful use of combinations of different formulations, it is important to adhere to the following recommendations:

  • the next component cannot be added until the previous one is completely dissolved;
  • If there is an ingredient in a package that dissolves in water, it should be added first;
  • The prepared solution must be used on the day of preparation.

Instructions for use

The product is recommended for use in corn fields. It can be applied between the 3rd and 10th leaf stage of crops. Treatment is carried out during the period of active weed and corn growth.

To ensure maximum effectiveness, do not use the product in hot or cold weather. Also, do not use if weeds are flattened.

The optimal temperature for applying Milagro is 15-25 degrees Celsius. It is also important to monitor soil and air humidity.

spraying the bush

Spraying is recommended early in the morning or evening. This should be done in calm weather. During field treatment, care must be taken to ensure the substance does not come into contact with nearby crops.

No field work should be carried out for one week before and after applying the solution. However, cultivation can begin after 10-14 days.

Safety precautions

Despite the low toxicity of the product, safety precautions must be observed when using it. When preparing and applying the working solution, wear personal protective equipment (PPE), including a respirator, goggles, and gloves. After completing work, wash your hands and face thoroughly with soap.

Is compatibility possible?

The product can be combined in tank mixes with other herbicides. Milagro combines well with the following substances:

  • Lancelot;
  • Prima;
  • "Esteron";
  • Callisto;
  • "Peak";
  • "Dialen Super".

However, Milagro should not be combined with lentagran and basagran. These mixtures cause leaf burn. Combining the product with 2,4-D-based herbicides will not help control grass weeds. This is due to the antagonism between the components. Milagro should also not be used if corn seeds or crops have been treated with organophosphorus agents.
