With the onset of heat in the cottages, not only noble crops, but also weeds begin to grow rapidly. You can get rid of them manually, regularly weeding, or with the help of herbicides. One of the most effective is the tornado. It has a continuous systemic effect, penetrating through foliage, stems into plants, destroys them.

Composition and mechanism of action

Concentrated liquid is available in ampoules, bottles, jars. The volume of packaging, containers can be different: from 5 ml to 10 liters. The Tornado preparation is made on the basis of isopropylamine salt (glyphosate acid): 500 g of substance are contained in a liter of concentrate. Liquid is recommended for the destruction of perennial weed grass. The Tornado tool is harmless to animals, people, but in order to protect yourself from the negative effects as much as possible, study the instructions for use, some features of the drug:

• It is recommended for the elimination of weeds, woody-shrubby vegetation, hydrophytic or bog grasses, it effectively fights annual and perennial weeds: creeping wheatgrass, field calf, loach, palmate forage, cereal, sedge, tuberous hedgehog, reed, cattail, cane, reed, wood lice, godchildren, medicinal dandelion, horsetail, chickweed, shepherd’s bag, Persian veronica.
• Not suitable for processing maple, alder, willow, acacia.
• Blocks the synthesis of automatic acids. The poison damages the weed development points, due to which the upper and lower parts of the grass completely dry out.
• Penetrates into plants through leaves, stems, then spreads with juice through tissues.
• The product is not distinguished by its selective property and is able to destroy both weeds and noble crops. For this reason, it is recommended to use a pesticide before sowing or planting. In the latter case, treat the soil if the seeds are “long-playing”, that is, they germinate after a week or more.
• According to the instructions, weeds should be sprayed when a green mass has appeared, because the substance is not absorbed by the plants through the roots. So, when processing near root crops, you don’t have to worry that the pesticide will negatively affect the quality of the crop.
• When using a tornado, the soil does not change its composition: harmful substances do not accumulate, because the isopropylamine salt, after combining with metal atoms, decomposes without penetrating deep into the soil.
• Infection occurs within 2-3 hours, yellowing, wilting of weeds is observed after 7 days, after 2-3 weeks the greenery disappears. If trees, shrubs are processed, then they die after 1-2 months. The indicated periods of destruction of the grass may be stretched due to bad weather: cold, rain, drought.
• The effect of the drug lasts up to 60 days after application.
• The shelf life of the drug in closed factory containers is 5 years. The composition remains effective at temperatures from -15 to +35 degrees. If the preparation is frozen, mix it thoroughly.

How to breed weed control

To maximize the effectiveness of the drug, it is necessary to adhere to special instructions for use. The basic rules for using a tornado are:

1. Prepare the solution immediately before spraying, because it is not intended for long-term storage, over time it loses its effectiveness.
2. Dilute the concentrate in a container that will not be used for food.
3. Shake the bottle thoroughly before use..
4. Using a measuring cup, separate the right amount of concentrate.
5. Pour water into a bucket, add the drug.
6. Use exclusively pure water: if impurities (or clay) are present, the effectiveness of the liquid will significantly decrease.
7. It is advisable to use soft water. If it is stiff, then reduce the rate of working solution, increase the dosage level of the Tornado.
8. According to the instructions, you need to adhere to the concentration of the working solution at the level of 1-3%.
9. Do not add other drugs to the solution. The exceptions are Bi-58 (for pest control), Magnum (herbicide), ammonium sulfate, ammonium nitrate and other nitrogen fertilizers.
10. After combining the tornado with water, mix the components thoroughly, add the required amount of water if necessary, pour the mixture into the sprayer.

Consumption rates

You can use a tornado for different cultures, objects. The table shows the dosage of the drug:

Instructions for use Tornado

The action of the drug will be effective if you follow the instructions for use indicated on the package. The basic rules are as follows:

1. Recommended for use in spring, autumn, 3 weeks before cultivation..
2. Treat the grass during the period of active growth, flowering. Spraying is carried out when annual weeds reach a height of 5-15 cm, perennials 10-20 cm: from plants must be present from 5 leaves. With this approach, the active substance will quickly penetrate into the grass and destroy it.
3. Spray annual dicotyledonous weeds in the presence of 2 leaves, before flowering. Dicotyledonous perennials are processed during the formation of buds, blooming flowers.
4. Spray with the composition of the ditch, paths in the gardens, in the vegetable gardens. Sowing areas, planting crops are sprayed in the fall to prevent spring emergence of weeds.
5. It is recommended to use the drug in the morning and in the evening (after 16 hours), in dry, calm weather: it is not recommended to work at a wind speed of more than 5 km / h, otherwise the product will fall into neighboring beds with noble crops. Do not spray before the rain or immediately after it: wait until the earth and greens dry. Remember that dew neutralizes the effect of the composition, therefore it is desirable that it is not.
6. Deep and rapid penetration of the substance is possible in the absence of a thick layer of dust on the weeds: as a rule, plants become dirty in a drought.
7. When seedlings of noble plants appear, process only the aisles, after covering the culture with polyethylene.
8. For each type of treatment, consider the dosage of the substance.
9. To increase the effectiveness of the tornado, add a little ammonium sulfate or Macho preparation to the solution, which are needed to prevent the substance from quickly rolling off the plants: the poison will stick to the stems, the foliage will not disperse.

Compatibility of the drug with other herbicides

Sometimes it becomes necessary to treat plants with several drugs at once: at the same time, herbicides, insecticides, and fertilizers are used. To avoid reducing the effectiveness of the tornado, it is not recommended to combine it with other chemicals. In extreme cases, follow these instructions:

1. The combination of tornadoes and bi-58 agents will help get rid of weeds and defeat pests..
2. You can increase the effectiveness of the drug with the following herbicides: Stomp, Ground, Dual Gold, Roundup, Prima, Titus, Lontrel-300, Lazurite, Magnum, Hurricane Forte, Diquat, Agrokiller, Agritoks, Pulsar, Glyphosate. Note that if the Tornado herbicide is used in the fall, then use herbicides specifically aimed at destroying the seeds. So get rid of adult plants and prevent their appearance next year.
3. Tornado goes well with nitrogen fertilizers – ammonium sulfate, ammonium nitrate, ammophos, diammophos, ammonium carbonate, ammonium chloride, urea, lime-ammonium nitrate.

Tornado Toxicity and Precautions

The composition is harmless to humans, birds, mammals, earthworms, soil organisms. When using the drug, certain safety rules must be observed. Instructions for using a tornado are as follows:

1. Pre-wear tight protective clothing, glasses, a hat: things are needed to protect the eyes, skin.
