The consumption rate of Lancaster depends on the type of soil. Thus, soils with a high content of humus and clay partially reduce the effectiveness of the drug due to the binding and neutralization of acetochlor molecules. therefore, the drug is recommended to be used on loamy soils and soils with a high humus content with the maximum recommended doses, and on sandy soils with the minimum recommended doses.
Conditions for the effective operation of the herbicide.
The main conditions for the high efficiency of the drug are:
- Presence of soil moisture;
- Fine-grained soil structure;
- Uniform distribution of the working solution in the soil layer with a depth of 0-5 cm.
All these conditions to a certain extent depend not only on the peculiarities of the weather and climatic conditions of a particular year, but also on the implementation of the corresponding agrotechnical measures.
Factors reducing the effectiveness of the drug - Uneven distribution of the drug on the surface of the field as well as in the soil layer of 0-5 cm due to: - Using a defective or unregulated sprayer
sprayer. - Exceeding the recommended unit speed. - Poor soil cultivation and poorly leveled field surface. - Application of the drug during unfavorable conditions for the germination of weed seeds - soil moisture deficiency. - Application of the drug after the appearance of weed shoots. - Use of an unreasonably lowered rate of drug consumption.
