What should be noted when using glyphosate for weed control? Please explain.
The precautions for using glyphosate for weed control are:
1. Glyphosate herbicide is a non-selective herbicide, and when applying it, never let it contaminate crops, so as to avoid herbicide damage.
2. For perennial malignant weeds, such as cogon grass, purple nutsedge, etc., apply the herbicide again 1 month after the first application to achieve the desired effect.
3. Adding an appropriate amount of diesel oil or laundry detergent to the spray solution can improve the efficacy.
4. Applying the herbicide on sunny days at high temperatures gives good results; if it rains within 4-6 hours after spraying, it should be re-sprayed.
5. Glyphosate is acidic, so plastic containers should be used as much as possible for storage and use.
6. Spraying equipment must be repeatedly washed clean.
7. When the packaging is damaged, it may absorb moisture and cake under high humidity, and crystals may also form during low-temperature storage; when using, shake the container thoroughly to dissolve the crystals so as to maintain efficacy.
8. As a systemic conductive non-selective herbicide, when applying it, care should be taken to prevent the spray solution from drifting onto non-target plants and causing herbicide damage.
9. It easily combines with calcium, magnesium, lead and other ions and loses activity; when diluting the pesticide, clean drinking water should be used, and mixing with muddy or dirty water will reduce efficacy.
10. Within 3 days after application, please do not cut grass, graze livestock or plow the land.
