Destroying excess trees and bushes from the garden is not an easy task. With one shovel, this process is difficult to carry out. However, there are special chemicals to destroy unnecessary vegetation. They are able to cope with the problem in a short time and with minimal effort.
Ways of using herbicides
Herbicides for the destruction of shrubs and trees act directly on the structure of the plant, help get rid of it without cutting it down. After the action of such substances, it remains only to uproot the remaining stump.
Spraying with herbicides is carried out in protective clothing.
A fast-acting herbicide is best used to destroy several bushes at once. It can be used in several ways: treat the soil at the roots, apply to the bark, enter through holes in the wood and in the form of an injection.
Addition to the ground
Before adding the product to the soil, it is necessary to water the soil. This contributes to better absorption of herbicides. Dye is sometimes added to the solution to mark treated areas. Means watered the soil around the trunk.
The substance can also be applied in powder form by filling the soil near the trunk. But it’s more effective to bury it in the soil and water it.
Important! When processing it is necessary to avoid hit of the chemical directly on the roots. You also need to work in protective clothing, trying to prevent the herbicide from getting on it.
Application to bark
This method helps in situations where it is necessary to destroy unnecessary woody vegetation selectively. The tool is applied to the bark. This method does not work on trees with thick bark.
The preparation is mixed with oil before application for good absorption. The herbicide is applied in several layers so that the required amount of the substance can be absorbed into the tree bark.
It is better to make incisions for infusion of the solution with an ax
Through the cuts
This method, like the previous one, is suitable for removing bushes and thin-trunked trees. However, chemistry will affect the thick bark, if you make deep cuts. The product is applied to dry wood. The solution must be abundantly treated with cuts.
Injections
You can destroy excess vegetation by injection. This method spares near growing plants from the ingress of a chemical.
First you need to make holes on the tree bark. A special spraying device injects a herbicide into these holes.
Note! This method is effective against shrubs. It helps to get rid of unnecessary trees precisely, without damaging the nearby ones.
Injections are made through the holes in the trunk
Spraying foliage
Leaf treatment is required in spring or early fall. In the heat, the effectiveness of the method decreases. The procedure is carried out in calm weather. It is necessary to carefully spray the foliage, without missing a single plot. If everything is done correctly, the leaves will begin to turn brown after a short time.
Other chemicals for killing trees
In addition to herbicides, other chemicals are used to destroy: arboricides and solutions, independently prepared at home.
Arboricides for tree destruction
Arboricides are herbicides and are aimed at combating unwanted shrubs in the area. Arboricides are characterized by a high concentration of substances acting on the vegetation. Before starting treatment, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the dosage and safety measures.
Important! After processing with arboricides, you cannot pick berries or mushrooms nearby.
Arsenal
To clear the area from unnecessary vegetation, a special preparation is used - arboricide, which is called "Arsenal". The chemical is used to destroy deciduous as well as coniferous trees.
Roundup
Arboricide is widely known for the destruction of large weeds under the name "Roundup". It is used in garden areas, as well as planting and public parks. The tool copes well with both hardwood and conifers.
- Do not mix with other drugs.
Sodium Nitrate
Sodium nitrate is widely used to remove stumps. She is treated with soil around the trunk and the stump itself. Regular treatment with sodium nitrate destroys it in a year. It will completely dry out and be ready for deliverance.
Ammonium nitrate
Urea contained in ammonium nitrate is very dangerous. Means well destroys wood. Tilling the soil kills the root, which then turns into a useful fertilizer.
Picloram
Processing with a chemical disrupts the process of photosynthesis in plant cells, and also stops the synthesis of bioactive acids. Soon, the plant withers, dries and dies.
Roundup for the destruction of trees
This chemical requires special attention. It was invented in America, but gained popularity all over the world. The unique potent composition of arboricide effectively fights unnecessary vegetation.
Description of the drug
Roundup is sold in three different versions:
- Normal, with the lowest concentration of active substance - 360 grams per liter of water.
- Maximum - 450 grams per 1 liter of water.
- Extra, with the highest concentration - 550 grams is added per 1 liter of water.
The composition of the tool and principles of action
The composition of arboricide contains a surfactant that increases the stickiness of the substance, and glyphosate, which slows the growth of vegetation.
After spraying, the substance penetrates the plant through the foliage and trunk. Active ingredients contribute to stunting. A week later, the plant dries and dies.
Note! The strong composition of Roundup kills all plants, so it is necessary to carry out the processing very carefully.
What weeds does Roundup fight
This arboricide is intended for the following types of weeds:
- cereal crops;
- spines;
- dandelions;
- weed shrubs and trees;
- thirst;
It is suitable for other superfluous plants on annual and perennial plants.
How to use the drug
Processing is done in calm, dry and clear weather. The older the tree, the more drug is consumed. When processing, it is necessary to wear protective clothing, be sure to cover your hands and face from getting arboricide on the skin. It is important to observe the correct dosage of Roundup indicated on the package.
"Roundup" - a very effective tool that has many advantages
Pros and Cons of Roundup
Advantages:
- high efficiency;
- ease of use;
- low cost;
- long action;
- soil safety;
- effectiveness against weeds.
Disadvantages:
- high toxicity;
- careless entry into other crops quickly destroys them;
- Do not mix with other drugs.
How to water trees so that they dry
If you can’t choose from the means purchased, than to water the shrub so that it withers, try alternative options. Potent drugs will be required: urea, a strong concentrate of nitrogen fertilizer or gasoline. Instead of gasoline, kerosene can be used as a means to quickly destroy trees and shrubs.
Important! Oil products quickly destroy trees, but poison the soil.
Urea destroys the bushes well. The process will be long, but this substance will not poison the soil. For small bushes, an overlap of oxygen to the root system is made, i.e., near-trunk sections are poured with cement.
How to prepare poison for plants at home
A good way to get rid of unwanted vegetation is to use vinegar. In a liter of 20% vinegar, 100 grams of citric acid or lemon juice is added. The top of the plants is sprayed with this solution.
Salt use
Sodium chloride or sodium chloride is the enemy of vegetation. To prepare the poison, you need to add 2 cups of salt to 4 liters of water. After complete dissolution of the crystals, you need to spray the ground part of the plants.
In fact, getting rid of weed trees and bushes is easy and fast. You can prepare effective poison for plants at home. The main thing is to correctly approach the procedure, and treat with chemical preparations very carefully so as not to damage the "necessary" plants.
