Herbicides for onions

When growing onions, it is important to pay special attention to protecting them from weeds. If there is no weed control, then they can significantly reduce the quality of onions and reduce their yield.

The fight against dicotyledonous weeds and perennial cereals begins two weeks before plowing the soil. The land is treated with Roundup or Fosulen. To combat annual cereals and dicotyledonous weeds in the spring, onion herbicides treflan or olitref are used.

After sowing onions, sets and turnips, the soil must be treated with dacthal or ramrod before the first shoots. And after the emergence of nigella shoots, herbicides for onions, liroshun or totril, are used, and at this time fusilade is used against annual cereals. After the appearance of 2-4 true leaves, sets and turnips are treated with semeron, and a little later with totril.

If the beds have a large number of dicotyledonous annual weeds, and the onion measures up to 15 centimeters, then lironion can be used.

Onions should be sprayed in calm weather in the evening or in the morning. The herbicide solution must be uniform and at the appropriate concentration. The solution must be prepared in a separate container, and then poured directly into the sprayer. This is due to the fact that when preparing the solution in the sprayer, the residue remains in the tanks, so during subsequent preparation the concentration of the solution increases, which can lead to burns to the plants. The spray should be fine and uniform, the spray height should be up to 30 centimeters from the soil. Care must be taken to ensure that the sprayers do not become clogged.
