Important! Double Gold is not allowed to be used near water bodies, as the chemicals contained therein are a danger to fish.
Mechanism of action
The drug acts selectively and systemically. He gets into the weed, absorbed into the roots and foliage, and then moves along the xylem and phloem. Thus, acetolactate synthase, an enzyme involved in the synthesis of essential amino acids for the weed, is inhibited.
Disruptions occur in the life of the plant, due to the lack of necessary acids, and they die.
How to process
The drug is used on corn fields, varieties that are intended for extracting oil, sugar varieties, varieties of corn that burst, as well as those crops that will be used for breeding seeds are not suitable for processing.
For weed control, the following herbicides are also used: "Tornado", "Callisto", "Dual Gold", "Fabian", "Gezagard", "Stomp", "Hurricane Forte", "Eraser Extra", "Reglon Super", " Agrokiller "," Lontrel-300 "," Titus "," Lazurit "," Grimes "," Ground "and" Roundup. "The plants are sprayed at the moment when 2-5 leaves have already appeared on it, and creeping couch grass reaches a height of 8-12 cm.
Duplon gold, more precisely, the solution for spraying of the herbicide, according to the instructions for use, must be prepared immediately before the procedure.
To prepare the mother liquor, you need to pour into the bucket ¼ of the water and add the right amount of the drug, then you need to stir well and add more water so that the bucket is на full.
Then you need to pour a half-pack of water into the sprayer and add the mixture there, then mix. At the very end of the mix you need to add Adieu and add the right amount of water in order to make the tank full.
Important! The adhesive is introduced into the solution last, due to the fact that after it is added, a thick foam may form, which can lead to splashing of the substance.
When the solution is ready, you should immediately begin spraying the corn seedlings. The treatment is carried out in the late evening or early morning. Within 3 days after the treatment of the field, people can carry out mechanized work.
Impact speed
After 3-4 hours after treatment, the active substances contained in the herbicide will penetrate into the roots and leaves of weeds, and after a few more hours the growth of harmful plants will slow down significantly.
In this case, the processing results will be visible no earlier than in 10-15 days. In 15-20 days the weeds will be completely destroyed. The rate of action of the herbicide is influenced by air temperature, humidity, and also by how well the weeds have managed to take root.
Symptomatic efficiency is noticeable even in a period of slower growth of weeds, because their color changes, they begin to fade. After 20 days, almost all weeds die, and resistant to the drug or too ingrained stop their growth and development, cease to bear the danger to corn.
Period of protective action
Herbicide is able to defeat those weeds that have already appeared or are just emerging during spraying. In the treated areas, new malicious plants do not appear for a long time.
Compatibility with other pesticides
Doublon Gold can be used in combination with insecticides of the pyrethroid class, as well as with other herbicides, the main component of which is dicamba. But preparations based on 2.4 D and organophosphate insecticides are not compatible with Dublon.
Sharing can harm the culture, as well as reduce the effectiveness of the means used. It is not recommended to use this herbicide with pesticides with an increased acid or alkaline reaction.
Crop rotation restrictions
If you rotate the crop rotation correctly, there are no restrictions for the following plants. Negative consequences for future crops can arise only when the period between processing and the next sowing was extremely dry, and also if the soil on which the plants grow is too acidic.
Did you know? In the USA, the European Union, Japan and China, 90-100% of the fields are treated with herbicides.
Term and storage conditions
Doublon Gold is stored in specialized warehouses for pesticides, in a sealed original package no more than 2 years after the date of manufacture. The air temperature in such rooms can vary from -25 to + 35 ° С.
