Everyone who is at least partially related to agriculture knows what constant weed control is for the harvest of crops. Too often, harmful vegetation becomes overly annoying and does not just inhibit crops, but leads to their partial destruction. In this case, do not hesitate - you need to resort to using pesticides.
Agrochemical "Harmony" will help you save the garden from the most problematic plant pests. Let us consider in more detail the distribution spectrum of the herb "Harmony", instructions for its use, composition and active ingredients.
Active ingredient and preparative form
The main active ingredient in Harmony is thifensulfuron-methyl (750 g / kg), belonging to the class of sulfonylurea chemicals. Preparative form are water-dispersible granules. Herbicide is distributed in plastic cans of 100 g.
Find out what herbicides are used to protect grown crops from weeds: "Lancelot 450 WG", "Corsair", "Dialen Super", "Hermes", "Caribou", "Cowboy", "Fabian", "Pivot", "Eraser Extra" and Tornado.
For what crops is suitable
The agrochemical "Harmony" is known as a herbicide for soybean, but it has been developed to protect against the aggressor plants also corn crops of any kind and hybrid varieties, flax, cereal crops. 
Important! If you grow sweet corn and popcorn, it is not advisable to use this herbicide. It is also contraindicated for use on maternal maize lines.
What weeds are effective against
Agrochemical perfectly copes with a variety of weeds and does not give them a chance to harm crops or reduce crop yields. The main consequences of using the drug are inhibition of vital activity or the death of a weed. It all depends on the degree of sensitivity of the harmful plant. By this criterion Weeds are divided into several types:
- Sensitive. This category includes Cocktail, Carrion, Broad Shchiritsa, Mediculum, Tagetes, Chamomile, Deaf Nettle, Field Mustard, Wild Radish, Highlander, Sorrel, etc.
- In the category of weeds that differ medium sensitivity to the drug, includes nightshade black, wild poppy, dope, sow thistle, swan-shaped shchiren, spurge, coppice, ambrosia, dymyanka, etc.
- Some types of euphorbia, black hairy, field bindweed, small-flowered halinzog are weakly sensitive to the action of agrochemical and endure it endure.
Important! It is worth remembering that the main purpose of the use of this pesticide is the fight against annual dicotyledonous weeds. Therefore, we should not expect that he will perform a miracle and eliminate all harmful vegetation in the garden. The result of the use of a herbicide also depends on what stage of growth the weeds were during their chemical treatment, and compliance with all the norms specified in the instructions.
Benefits
"Harmony" is ahead of other varieties of agrochemicals not only in quality (which is extremely important), but also in price policy. In this aspect, the fact that herbicide has a rich list of benefits pretty relevant:
- "Harmony" is a unique multi-profile herbicide, with which you can economically and quickly clean the crops from plant pests;
- the drug costs are quite low, which contributes to the treatment of large areas at a reasonable price: consumption does not exceed 25 g / ha;
- use is not limited to temperature standards (valid from +5 ° C), or the rules of crop rotation;
- the rapid dissolution in the soil makes the pesticide absolutely safe and non-toxic, but instructions should be followed;
- versatile: effective in combating a variety of pest plants and designed to protect the spectrum of crops; it can also be used in tank mixes;
- unlike other herbicides, "Harmony" does not harm the honey-bearing insects, and, of course, man.
Did you know? The use of herbicide is a pledge of high crop yield. According to research, without using a herbicide, only 20-40% of the crop can be harvested from the amount that can be collected with its use.
Operating principle
"Harmony" - representative of systemic herbicides. This chemical gets "inside" the weed, mainly through the foliage and quickly spreads through its cells. The active ingredient of the drug affects and inhibits the growth points of the plant-pest, stops the processes of cell division of shoots and roots by eliminating the enzyme ALS (acetolactate synthase).
Weed growth stops within a few hours after treatment. After a few days, it will begin to turn yellow and die. Complete death occurs in 2-3 weeks, provided that the weed belongs to the category of sensitive. As for the representatives of the category with weak sensitivity, they simply cease to grow and will not be able to harm the culture. 
Method, time of application and consumption rate
Herbicide "Harmony" applied by spraying, since the active substances in its composition are absorbed by weed species mainly through the leaves and only partially through the root system.
Important! It is not recommended to resort to the treatment of crops with pesticides during a cold snap or a prolonged drought. Also, agrochemicals lose their effectiveness if you spray crops after rain, or when there is dew on plants. Cultures that experience stress caused by diseases and pests do not welcome any chemical spraying.Regarding the timing of application, the optimal time is the early growing season, as the crops themselves (phase 2-3 leaves or disclosure of the first trifoliate leaf), and their pests (2-4 leaves).
Regarding consumption rates, it all depends on the type of culture. For example, for winter wheat it is necessary to dilute 15-20 g / ha, spring barley and wheat - 10-15 g / ha, flax - 15-25 g / ha, soybeans - 6-8 g / ha, corn - 10 g / ha The main tank mixture - Trend®90 is 0.125%, with a flow rate of 200 ml / ha, for flax - 600 ml / ha. This is based on 100 liters of solution.
The optimal amount of working solution per 1 ha is 200-300 l, the average consumption rate of agrochemical per 1 ha is 25 g.
To protect wheat from weeds, also use the following herbicides: "Dialen Super", "Prima", "Lontrel", "Eraser Extra", "Cowboy".
Compatibility with other pesticides
ma ",
To combat sensitive weeds, a single Harmony treatment process without the use of partner pesticides is sufficient.
Did you know? The inventors of pesticides are not people, but the plants themselves. In the process of fighting for the survival of the culture began to produce substances that adversely affect the "neighbors" or insects. According to scientists, 99.99% of all pesticides are made by plants.
But if you are dealing with, say, blacking, swan or other aggressors who, moreover, have already outgrown, experienced agronomists advise using herbicide in tank mixtures with other chemicals made on the basis of the active substance bentazon or dicamba.
For the processing of crops of soybeans and maize, the best partner of Harmony is drugs whose main active ingredient is glyphosate.
This herbicide combines well with Trend®90 of 0.125%, but Do not use this mixture on crops of flax.
It is prohibited to use "Harmony" in tank mixtures with organophosphate insecticides, graminicides or herbicides based on imazethapyr. 
Important! The interval between the processing of crops "Harmony" and other graminicides should be at least 5 days, organophosphate insecticides - 14 days.
Crop rotation restrictions
One of the main advantages of using this agrochemical is the absence of severe restrictions on crop rotation rates. But experienced farmers advise adhere to the following recommendations:
- after soybeans, only soybeans should be transplanted;
- three months after the herbicide treatment, it is possible to sow winter grain crops;
- spring sowing may include soybeans, spring cereals, oats, corn, peas;
- sunflower and rape are advised to sow the next year after chemical treatment;
- for planting in the second year after cleaning the soil with an agrochemical, potatoes, onions, sugar beets, or any of the varieties listed above are suitable.
Terms and conditions of storage
According to the instructions, for storing the herbicide "Harmony" is advised to pick up a dry storage room, in which it is necessary to observe the temperature regime from 0 to +30 ° C. The maximum shelf life of the drug - 3 years from the date of manufacture.
Important! When storing a herbicide, it should be ensured that the original packaging is not opened or damaged. Otherwise, it loses its effectiveness.As you can see, being an agronomist in the modern world is not that difficult, since there are many assistants in the process of farming. Weed control for vital activity and crop yields will help you win the Harmony herbicide. You only need to follow the recommendations specified in the instructions.
