And if you look around, then there are such plants as mocities, drinking and osic. And this is not the entire list of weed plants that take the nutrients from the soil. If all the weeds leave in the ground, then there will be no place for cultivated plants.

This is an absolutely safe drug for people, it is successfully used in many countries of the world not only as a means of deliverance to weeds in areas, but also to combat vegetation in squares, parks, places where power lines and gas pipeline pass, as well as promotions. The toxicity of this drug for animals and people is negative.
The principle of work from the weeds of the Roundap: as soon as the drug falls on the plants, it quickly penetrates inside, spreading through the stalk and roots. As a result, the weed dies. After treatment with herbicide, the first sign of successful work is the characteristic yellowing of the plant.
After you treat the roundup area, you need to wait a week and you can observe the first results. You can completely get rid of weeds only a few weeks later. During this period, they will finally perish.
It is important that falling on the plant, the drug does not remain in the soil. This means that the chemical will not impede the germination of seedlings and seeds. Dachinations can be immediately after the complete death of weighing plants and cleaning the garden, start planting and sowing garden crops. In the soil, Roundap is decomposed on natural components, not harm. This is water, carbon dioxide and ammonia.
A feature of the herbicide of the new generation is not only safety, but also high efficiency. So, the Roundap will easily cope with perennial and annual weed plants that are difficult to eliminate. It is a horsetail, moc., Dandelion, bindweed, drinking, oat, nettle and others.
When do you need to proceed to processing the site?
This question is asked by many both experienced and beginner daches.
When and in what cases you need to proceed to the soil processing:
- you can make a roundup as early spring and late autumn;
- if the garden plot is too clogged with weeds, it is necessary to first get rid of perennial pests to use the Earth for the cultivation of garden crops. To do this, you first need to make spraying of soil, fruit trees and shrubs, and only the next year you can start landing, making sure that weighing plants died and completely overloaded in the soil;
- if you have gathered to break the lawn, do not hurry at once to drag the earth and sow grass. So you can again revive the weeds that "climb" 2 times faster than the lawn grass. First, the plot needs to be processed and only after that sowing the lawn;
- to combat weeds around fruit trees, too, it is allowed to use the Roundap, as a means in the fight against weeds. After the weeds are destroyed, it is necessary to explode the soil and hold it under the ferry ("black couples") or sow under fruit trees lawn grass. So that the tool does not fall on the trunks of the trees, they need to be wrapped with rubberoid or film. Do the same to protect fruit-berry shrubs;

If immediately after processing or after 6 hours it rained, then he can prevent the work of the round, as it can make a remedy from the leaves. This reduces the efficiency of the funds several times.
It is not recommended to work with herbicide with severe wind gusts, as well as use pulverizers with a small sprayer. It is not allowed to use homemade pulverizers and vacuum cleaners, such work is considered ineffective.
Before proceeding with work, preliminary preparation is necessary, especially if cultural plants are planted on the site. First you need to wrap them with a film or other material that does not pass moisture so that the tool does not fall on the plant.

A week later (the first changes after the spraying of the Rountadep can be noticed on the 5th day after processing) you will see that the plants begin to fade. After 2, and then and 3 weeks you can completely clean the plot from dry weed grass. Just pull it out with the root, and you will see that it is unviable.
If you begin to combat the weed grass in July-August, it is worth considering that during this period both decorative and fruit-berry shrubs are very susceptible to this drug. Therefore, it is necessary to take care in advance to protect the plants from entering herbicide and prevent death. The best option is to wrap before processing shrubs with dense polyethylene.
Precautions and storage time
Roundap is a small toxic agent for insects, animals and people (the main active substance is glyphosphate, equal to the degree of toxicity to the conventional table salt). But still it is necessary to observe certain precautions. So, it is not recommended to prepare a solution for spraying a plot in the food dishes. It is best to allocate a bucket for these purposes or purchase a plastic canister. Any bowl is suitable for both plastic and metal.
