Instructions and application method for the herbicide Sprut Extra, consumption rate

Not all specialized weed control products are highly effective. Therefore, farmers and gardeners monitor new chemical products. The herbicide "Sprut Extra" is considered the best modern product. Let's look at its application methods, advantages, specific features, and application rates for different weed types.

Composition and existing forms of release

The main active ingredient of the non-selective herbicide "Sprut Extra" is potassium salt (glyphosate). Concentration: 540 g/l. This weed control product is suitable for use in both small and large areas. It is available in small packages and in 5- and 10-liter containers.

Advantages of the drug

Benefits of using herbicide:

• the product is effective at any ambient temperature;
• The active compound is quickly absorbed by plants. The potassium salt of glyphosate penetrates tissue, distributes evenly, and begins to act immediately.

With proper treatment, weed infestation is reduced by up to 85% over the next three years. The entire range of perennial weeds—wormwood, sow thistle, and couch grass—is destroyed.

Features of the herbicide

"Sprut Extra" only affects weeds with stems and leaves. It does not affect seeds.

How it works

After the product hits the plant's leaf blade, it penetrates the weed's cells and travels up the stem to the roots. The above-ground portion of the plant dries out first, followed by the root system.

Duration of protective action

Plants treated with the herbicide die permanently. The problem is that the herbicide may not cover all plants, so it's recommended to treat heavily infested areas multiple times.

How quickly does the effect appear?

It takes approximately 5-7 days from application until the leaves turn yellow. After 2 weeks, the above-ground portions wither, and the weed dies completely within 20-30 days.

What weeds does it affect?

The spectrum of action of the drug is wide:

• dandelion;
• mustard, speedwell;
• nettle, all types of wormwood;
• ragweed, purslane;
• white quinoa, creeping sow thistle;
• bent grass, couch grass.

For treating heavily weeded areas, it is recommended to use the maximum dose of herbicide.

Application rates for different plants

To achieve high results, follow the manufacturer's recommendations:

Purpose of treatment, type of weeds	Dose, ml/10 l of water	Consumption rate, m2
For planting potatoes	80	200
Dicotyledons (clover, legumes)	120	—
Annuals	50-60	100
After harvesting	80	200
Spring pre-sowing treatment	100/5 l	100

It is better to carry out treatment during the active growth of plants, but before the flowering phase.

Rules for preparing a working solution

The product should be diluted directly in the sprayer tank. First, fill the tank with water to 1/3 of its capacity. While stirring, add the measured dose.

While still stirring the liquid evenly, fill the container to the required level. Then you can begin working.

Instructions for use

Instructions for use of the herbicide "Sprut Extra":

• treatment is carried out in dry, windless weather;
• should not be used during the mass flight of honey-producing insects.

To achieve maximum results, weed leaves must be sprayed as thoroughly as possible.

Safety precautions

When working with the solution, you should adhere to basic safety rules:

• use a respirator or mask, rubber gloves;
• put on protective glasses over your eyes;
• The treatment should be carried out wearing long-sleeved clothing.

Keep children and pets away while spraying. After handling, remove protective clothing and wash your hands and face with soap.

Degree of toxicity

The herbicide "Sprut Extra" is classified as moderately hazardous. It poses no threat to human health. It is low-toxic to mammals and birds, but is dangerous to bees, lizards, and frogs.

Storage rules and periods

The prepared working solution must be used within 24 hours. The shelf life of an unopened container from the date of production is 3 years. If the herbicide is not used completely, tightly close the lid and secure it with electrical tape or duct tape. Store the product at 15-30°C until the next application.

The product is frost-resistant down to -15°C. It crystallizes and remains effective even after thawing.

Similar means

The herbicide "Roundup Extra" is similar in effectiveness and mode of action to "Sprut Extra." The active ingredient, glyphosate, quickly penetrates the plant, blocking its synthesis. Consequently, the plant stops synthesizing and gradually dies.
