Division of weeds - monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous weeds
Basically weeds are divided into two groups: monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous. The monocotyledonous weedsinclude the grasses , while the other species are dicotyledonous weeds. The most common dicotyledonous weeds on the lawn include:dandelion (commonly known as dandelion), plantain, clover and sorrel Dicotyledonous weeds are controlled by spraying the weeded surface with herbicides (herbicides) against dicotyledonous weeds. These preparations only control dicotyledonous weeds and are harmless to grass.
But sometimes turf damage can occur due to human error. The most common "sins" of gardeners are:failure to comply with the recommended dose and concentration of the preparation (too high dose and too high concentration), spraying during unfavorable weather conditions (too much sunlight, high or low temperature, rainfall, etc.) and carrying out the treatment with inefficient or inadequate equipment (e.g. windscreen sprayer or watering with a watering can).
Before each treatment, carefully read the information on the label-instructions for use of the plant protection product and follow them accordingly. The treatment should be performed with an adapted sprayer (preferably a shoulder or knapsack sprayer with an attached sprayer - nozzle, slot tip) on a day when it is not raining, not in full sun, during windless weather.
The most dangerous weed - couch grass
This grass is characterized by the fact that it reproduces mainly by means of underground rhizomes and is very aggressive towards other plants. In a short time, it can take up a large area of the lawn, drowning out and displacing other species of grass. It is a monocotyledonous plant, so treatment with a herbicide against this group of plants will also destroy lawn grass species.
When couch grass weeds the lawn over a larger area, it is worth considering destroying couch grass with other plant species and re-planting the lawn in the same place. As a result, couch grass will not be a problem in the next year. For this purpose, you can use the so-called non-selective (total) herbicides which destroy monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants.
How to naturally remove them?
When mechanical removal fails, use natural sprays that will effectively control weeds for a long time.Herbicides such as Substral AntyChwast Total come into direct contact with the weed and destroy the above-ground parts of plants. This results in further destruction of the plant's cell membranes. There is dehydration and dieback. It is ideal for destroying weeds even under fruit trees or grapevines, as it does not damage the woody parts of plants.
It is best to use it on a warm and sunny day, because then we will get the best results, visible after 2-3 hours after spraying. However, the agent also works in various weather conditions.
The natural product Substral AntyChwast Total is safe for the soil, and thus it is biodegradable. This is the best option for all those who are looking for natural solutions in the garden. It is a glyphosate-free preparation, a natural replacement for Roundup or other preparations containing harmful substances.
