Using herbicides for cabbage after and before germination
The use of field protection means, especially those laid for vegetables, has always been very relevant.
Cabbage is a vegetable crop that loves to grow on well-supplied light, watering and fertilization soils. Since the vegetable is very light and moisture-loving, it should be protected from weeds, especially when sown directly into the ground.
Weed plants quickly stretch out and cover the cabbage sprouts from the heat of the sun's rays, and also take a significant amount of moisture onto themselves. At the same time, insects often parasitize on weeds, which gladly move to cabbage leaves and destroy seedlings.
The use of Trier only partially protects against the admixture of weed seeds, the main danger lurking in the soil, where various herbs and plants are waiting for their time to emerge.
Classification of herbicides according to the method of influence on weeds
To prevent a decrease in cabbage yield due to overgrowth of weeds, herbicides are applied in the fields. They are:
- external action (postemergence);
- internal action (pre-emergence).
You need to choose them depending on when you plan to add them to the soil: before planting cabbage, or after germination.
Different types of herbicides work in different ways. Topical chemicals attack the green parts of weeds, while indoor chemicals destroy the root system.
Postemergence herbicides for cabbage
Postemergence chemical protection against weeds includes:
| Drug name | Acting thing | Action Description | Packaging and shelf life | Consumption rate of the drug |

| Semeron | Effectively suppresses all the main weedy cereal annuals and perennials in cabbage crops | 1.5. 2 kg / ha |
Pre-emergence herbicides for cabbage
Pre-emergence chemical means of protection against weeds include:
| Herbicide name | Active substance | Action Description | Packaging and shelf life. | Consumption rate of the drug |
| Print, CE | pendimethalin | intended for the control of annual cereals and dicotyledonous weeds in agricultural crops | Flasks contain 10 liters. Stored for 3 years. | 3-6 |
| Stomp | pendimethalin | intended for the destruction of a wide range of annual dicotyledonous and cereal weeds | Flasks contain 10 liters. Stored for 2 years. | Working fluid consumption - 200-300 l / ha |
| SULTAN 50 | metazachlor | selective herbicide for the control of annual broadleaf and cereal weeds | Flasks contain 10 liters. Stored for 3 years. | Working fluid consumption - 200-400 l / ha |
| Butizan 400 | metazachlor | It is used for the destruction of most annual dicotyledonous and cereal weeds, before their emergence. | Flasks contain 10 liters. Stored for 3 years. | |
| Teridox | Dimetachlor | used for the destruction of weed cereal plants | Flasks contain 5 liters. Expiration date - 3 years. | Before planting cabbage, the consumption rate of the drug is 3 l / hectare. Spraying after sowing before germination - 2.5 l / ha. |
Secrets and recommendations
Frequent use of herbicides for cabbage is necessary to improve the condition of the site after the predecessor in the crop rotation. In such cases, they fight weeds.
- Glyphosate (Napalm, Tornado, Default, Typhoon, Fozat, Fakel, etc.) is exactly the chemical that should be contained in the herbicide for the autumn period with perennial cereals, as well as dicotyledonous weeds.
- In the spring, trifluralins are considered more effective (Treflan, Nitran extra, Annons, Triflyurex). After their introduction, urgent plowing is needed. Compliance with the regulations for the use of a chemical reagent will protect cabbage crops for one to two months.
- In cases of abundant growth of creeping wheatgrass on the site, it is allowed to use the drug Quizalofop-P-tefuril (Bagira) and the like.
- Continuous chemicals such as Hurricane Forte are capable of very effectively killing various types of weeds in a short time. They are used to treat weeds during active vegetation (4-5 leaves and 10-20 cm) and flowering. After such events, there is no need for pesticides either.
- If, after planting cabbage seedlings, it became necessary to treat the soil with herbicides, then 5 days after planting on the ground, the soil should be treated with S-Metolachlor (Dual Gold) - this is the most effective post-emergence chemical.
Tips:
- To avoid counterfeiting when buying a herbicide, you need to require a certificate from the seller.
- Look carefully at the label, it should show the date of manufacture of the chemical and its expiration date.
- The herbicide for cabbage should be applied in the exact dosage, carefully reading the instructions for the drug.
- You should always follow the recommendations for the use of the drug and do not mix herbicides with each other.
- It is impossible to use an expired chemical substance - it is dangerous both for vegetables and soil, and for people.
