Composition, purpose and form of release of the drug Cordus Plus

Systemic herbicide of selective action Cordus Plus is produced under the license of the American company DuPont at the production facilities built in Russia.

This tool contains three active substances at once: dicamba, nicosulfuron, rimsulfuron. The three-component herbicide is used to kill all dicotyledonous and cereal weeds in corn crops.

The preparation is in the form of water-soluble granules. Sold in plastic cans weighing 440 grams. Before use, the herbicidal agent is dissolved in water according to the instructions.

The corn crops are irrigated with an aqueous solution only once a season.

Cordus Plus destroys those weeds that have already sprouted. The earlier the treatment is carried out, the better the result. This drug does not affect the corn itself.

Principle of operation

The herbicide is absorbed by the leaves and roots of weeds and is carried to all organs. In 3-4 hours after treatment, cell division stops, the plant stops growing and begins to wither slowly. After 3-5 days, the first visible signs of the action of the herbicide appear - necrosis and chlorosis. The plant dies completely in 2-3 weeks. The herbicide does not act on the corn itself.

Consumption rate - 22-44 g / ha.For moderate or weak vegetation, use the minimum dosage. If there are a lot of weeds, the solution is made more concentrated.

Spraying the corn field is carried out only once a season.

How to properly prepare a working mixture

The herbicide solution for irrigation is prepared in the dosages indicated in the instructions. Fine-dispersion sprayers are used for spraying the field. First, a matrix solution is prepared. Measure the required amount of the drug and dissolve it in water in a small plastic container.

The spray tank is then filled halfway with water. The stirrer is then turned on and the matrix solution is poured in Then the stirrer is stopped, the required amount of water is added and the mixture is stirred again. The working solution is prepared on the day of irrigation. The remains of the mixture are not stored, but poured out of the agricultural land.

How to use the ready-made solution

The preparation Cordus Plus can be used for corn, which is used for grain, oil or green mass. The herbicide destroys annual dicotyledons in the phase of 1-4 leaves, as well as young rosettes of perennial dicotyledons and wheatgrass (10-15 centimeters high). The corn itself should have 2-6 leaves.

The herbicidal agent should be used with the Trend surfactant (200 ml / ha), which improves the wetting of weeds with a solution and increases the herbicidal activity.

It is not recommended to treat weeds that are wet from dew or rain, which are under stress due to drought, temperature extremes, poor nutrition, due to diseases or insects with the herbicidal agent Cordus Plus. On the night before irrigation, the temperature should not drop below 10 degrees Celsius. Do not spray the fields if the temperature rises above 25 degrees Celsius during the day. After the field has been treated with herbicide, inter-row cultivation can be carried out only after 1-2 weeks.
