The mechanism of action of the agent

Bentazone enters plant tissues through the surface of leaves and stems. Inhibits the reactions of photosynthesis in cells. As a result, the green mass dies off.

Impact speed

Noticeable signs of dying are noted after 3-4 days. The complete extinction of weeds on the site occurs in 10-12 days.

Protective period

The treated area remains clean until the second weed wave of the season.

Farmers do not note any particular drawbacks when using the herbicide Corsair.

Consumption rate of funds

The consumption rate is determined by which crop is being treated for weeds.

Rice plantation processing is carried out when the cereal produces 2 leaves, and weeds - 3-5. To prevent the herbicidal solution from being washed off the surface of the leaves, before the treatment, the water level in the flood field is lowered to 1-2 cm.

2 days after spraying, the field is filled with water again as standard.

Preparation of working solution and instructions for its use

Herbicide treatment Corsair is carried out by spraying. The optimal time for work is the appearance of 3-5 true leaves in weeds. One-time treatment is permissible during the growing season. Consumption of working solution - 200-300 liters per hectare of sown area.

The working solution is made before work. Before opening the canister, the concentrate is thoroughly shaken in it. The tank of the spraying device is filled with water by a quarter, the required amount of concentrate is poured into it. The liquid is well mixed. During stirring, add water until the volume is filled.

Prepare the working solution on a protected site. After filling the tank, the site is cleaned.

The treatment is carried out at an air temperature of 10-25 ° C and a wind speed of no more than 5 m / s. In cool and windy weather, the herbicide is less effective. Peas and some other cultivated species are more susceptible to the effects of the drug, therefore, spraying is carried out on a cloudy day at an air temperature of up to 20 ° C. You cannot use the Corsair if there is a high probability of frost at night.
