Operating principle

When treating the soil before emergence, the agent creates a protective film on the surface. In order for the effect of the drug to be effective, then it is necessary to try to avoid this "screen" before germination of the culture.

When treated on shoots, the agent suppresses the transport of electrons participating in photosynthesis, which causes the death of plants. A similar action is exerted by the active substance of the drug - metribuzin (C ₈ H ₁₄ N ₄ OS). It refers to systemic pesticides. The same substance is a part of many other drugs, designed primarily to combat monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous weeds. The duration of the effect of the action of metribuzin is due primarily to the fact that it is able to penetrate into the plants not only through the roots, but also through the leaves. However, the main effect is through the soil. Therefore, before treatment or after it, it should be well moistened.

It is advisable to ask the weather for a week before using the herbicide "Zenkor Ultra". Small daily rains can significantly improve the effectiveness of the drug. Strong downpours often, on the contrary, reduce the percentage of destroyed weeds. The fact is that in this case the herbicide is simply washed out of the earth.

Period of action of the drug
