Herbicide Euro-Lightning is a broad-spectrum drug for the protection of sunflowers from grass and dicotyledonous weeds: ragweed, ragweed, wolfberry and other problematic pests.
Advantages
The drug has the following features:
During the entire vegetation period, the pesticide is introduced only once.
A large list of sensitive weeds that other agrochemicals cannot deal with.
Rain resistance appears 1 hour after treatment.
The agrochemical not only destroys weeds, but also prevents the appearance of new pests.
Flexible terms of application.
Easy processing without special skills.
Can be used in systems with zero and minimal tillage.
The principle of action of the Euro-Lightning herbicide
The herbicide includes such active substances as imazamox and imazapyr. These elements quickly penetrate the weed through the leaves and root system. By transiting through the xylem and phloem, substances are found in plant tissues, after which they act as an ALS or AHAS enzyme. This enzyme is not found in animals, it is found only in bacteria and flora. As a result, the drug slows down the synthesis of amino acids, and from this moment on, the reverse report of the weed's vital activity begins.
Application of herbicide
Three factors should be taken into account during herbicide treatment:
Solution consumption;
Terms of application;
The method of introducing agrochemicals.

Fluid consumption
Consumption of the drug per hectare is 1.0-1.2 liters, working fluid is 200-400 liters. With zero or minimal tillage, water consumption is at least 250 l/ha.
Terms of application
Spraying is carried out at the stage of 4-5 leaves of the crop and 4 leaves of the weed (at this stage, the pest plants are actively developing). Only sunflower hybrids bred according to the Clearfield system are treated with the herbicide. The compatibility of culture and agrochemicals is indicated on the packaging of the drug.
Processing method
Euro-lightning herbicide is introduced evenly over the entire area of the plots, while the sprayer must have access to all weeds. We advise you to carry out processing in windless weather to prevent agrochemicals from spreading to neighboring fields.
After spraying, it is necessary to completely rinse the working tool. The procedure is performed in the following sequence:
Draining the working solution from the tank.
Filling the hose and tank with water for at least 10 minutes.
Removing water from the
sprayer.
Checking the tool for the presence of chemical residues (if the herbicide of continuous action remained on the walls, the procedure is performed again).
In addition, we recommend filling the tank with water up to half, diluting it with ammonia (consumption of 1 liter per 100 liters of water), washing the hinged parts and filling the container with water to the end. This mixture is allowed to stand for 15 minutes, after which it is used in the treatment of nozzles and hoses. The final stage is draining the liquid.
Precautions
Treatment is inappropriate in the following cases:
drought or excessive moisture;
low (less than +12 degrees) and high (more than +25 degrees) temperature;
temperature difference.
The decay of substances in the soil accelerates at a temperature above +10 degrees. The higher the pH level in the soil, the stronger the effect of the agrochemical.
Restrictions on crop rotation
The herbicide is safe for rye, peas, soybeans, beans, winter and spring wheat if the correct crop rotation is observed.
corn, sorghum, rice and oats can be the first crop in the crop rotation, but with a total rainfall of 200 mm or more (in the period between processing and sowing) and soil pH above 6, 2. In the case of spring barley, the opposite conditions are precipitation less than 200 mm and pH below 6.2
