When it seems that the lawn has more weeds than the grass itself and we cannot cope with their manual removal, the help islawn herbicidesEffectiveness of weed control spraying, however, depends on the choice of the right agent for a given type of weed, as well as the implementation of the treatment at the right time and in the right way. Seewhich herbicides can be used on an already growinglawn, and how and when to use them. We also checked theprice of spraying herbicidesper 100m² of lawn!
Starane and Chwastox Trio herbicides
What herbicides can we use on the lawn?
On already growing lawns, we can only use selective herbicides , i.e. those that will destroy the weeds without damaging the grasses. These are such preparations as: Chwastox Trio 540 SL, Mniszek 540 SL or Starane Trawnki 260 EW. Typicallythese types of lawn herbicides contain severalactives to combat a broad spectrum of weeds.
In this way, we can combat dicotyledonous weeds on lawns , both annual and perennial, such as dandelion, dandelion, quinoa, mugwort, plantain and plantain, clover, yarrow or knotweed bird. On the other hand, it is extremely difficult to combat monocotyledonous weeds, which are also grasses from the biological point of view, e.g.couch grass, panicles, one-sided weed.
Note!
Total (non-selective) herbicides must not be used on lawns, as they will destroy not only weeds but also grass. A very common mistake is to apply Roundup or another glyphosate-based herbicide to your lawn. After such a spraying, there is no hope of saving the grass. Therefore, always make sure that the herbicide you are buying is intended for use on lawns. Never buy glyphosate products for your lawn.
When to spray the lawn with herbicides?
Naeffectiveness of spraying with herbicides on the lawnis influenced not only by the selection of the appropriate agent in relation to the weeds present, but also by the correctmethod and date of spraying on weedsThe vast majority of available lawn weed control agents work in such a way thatafter spraying, the agent is absorbed by the leaves of the weedsand then gets to the rest of the plant, destroying all the weed together with the roots. For the preparation to be absorbed, the weeds must have developed an appropriate number of leaves
Remember!
The weeds should preferably haveclearly developed 3-4 leaves each during sprayingSpraying is carried out over time vegetation when weeds are properly grown. You should also keep an appropriatedistance between spraying and mowing the grassNever spray the weeds right after mowing the lawn (because the leaves of the weeds are also mowed and the agent will not be absorbed), nor mow right after spraying (with the next mowing, wait for the weed agent to be absorbed).
It is also very important that it becomes warm enough before spraying. Therefore, you should not rush too much to spray weeds.Most weed treatments for amateur crops work best between 15-20 ° C .
The exception to the above rule is the control of the common dandelion , which must be eliminated before it blooms and starts spreading.This happened extremely early in the last warm winters. In such situations, we choose Starane Trawniki 260 EW for post-emergence control of dicotyledonous weeds on lawns, very effective in combating the dandelion.Starane works at a temperature of 10 ° C, which allows it to be used from April

How do I apply herbicides to my lawn?
First of all, remember thatspraying must be done very carefully , preferably with a pressure sprayer with a lance, andthe agent evenly distributed over the lawn surface It is very important to properly dose the herbicide according to the instructions on the leaflet. Saving doesn't pay off here! If less agent is used, spraying may be completely ineffective. That is whyshould always spray the entire agent intended for a given surface!
Spraying sun-heated lawn . It is best to choose a cloudy day or spray at times when the sun is not so strong. If rainfall occurs on the day of spraying, the agent will be washed away and the spraying must be repeated.
An alternative to spraying the lawn against weedscan be the application of 100 days granular fertilizer with SUBSTRAL weeding agent. This fertilizer is sprinkled, so we do not need to use a sprayer. In one treatmentwe combine combating weeds with fertilizing the lawnThe advantage is also the effect of the agent at low temperatures, from 10 ° C, thanks to which the fertilizer with weed can be used throughout the season from April to October. It is only important that this preparation is used on a wet lawn (after rainfall or prior watering the lawn) because then the fertilizer pellets with the herbicide better adhere to the leaves of the weeds.
