Unfortunately, we grow weeds in addition to vegetables and fruits. Of course, they have to fight with them, so that these plants do not interfere with the development of agricultural crops, and do not spoil the appearance of the garden. But there are weeds that pose a serious danger to humans. They include a cow-parsnip.
It is known that the juice of a plant falling on unprotected skin can cause severe burns. In addition, the cow grouse is considered a culture that shows high resistance to various unfavorable conditions and spreads extremely quickly through the territory. Completely get rid of the malignant weed is difficult enough. But we will talk about the best way to combat hogweed on the site.
Folk remedies for combating hogweed
A perfect method of combating common weed is its complete destruction. The best time for harvesting is when there are only one or two bushes on your site and they have not yet discarded the seeds. Otherwise, the next year you will have a whole plantation. Before starting work, wear gloves and long sleeves. Plants are excavated, removed from the site, and after drying, they are burned.
If the site is densely sown with cow-weed, and you want to grow something useful there, you can try to cover it with a thick black film. This should be done in the spring, and removed in early summer next year. Not getting sun rays, weeds die. The site becomes clean and ready to plant seedlings. Please note that the film must be securely fixed, because it must be on the site for more than a year.
The way to fight hogweed on the site through the spreading of the geo-panel, on which then it is necessary to pour a layer of fertile soil up to 5-7 cm high, has earned good reviews. In this soil, grass grass is sown, so you can completely rid yourself of the hated weed.
The fight against cow-beetroot is a chemical method
The above methods are quite expensive in efforts, and the result will not be expected immediately. Therefore, some truck farmers prefer to use radical methods - herbicides. So called the chemical drugs that are used to destroy greenery. One of the most effective against hogweed is "Roundup" . One hundred grams of the product is diluted in four liters of water. True, they do not spray the entire plant, but its stump. Therefore, before handling, wear tight clothing and gloves. It is necessary to root under the root of a cow-sower. Work with weeds should be very carefully, so that the splashing juice does not get on your skin. Therefore, before work, you must always wear dense clothing with a long sleeve and protective gloves. After pruning the tops of the stump of the hogweed, you can pour a herbicide. According to the reviews of gardeners who already use Roundup, Tornado or Grauntap, the effectiveness of pesticides is quite high. Usually ¾ of all plantings of dangerous weed are destroyed.
Biological struggle against cow-weevil
In the market of specialized products, you can find very few biologics that have both high effectiveness against malignant weed and safe for the soil. These include "Agroquiller", designed specifically to destroy hogweed, as well as other uncultivated plants that you do not want to see on your site. Suppressing the process of synthesizing amino acids necessary for normal growth and development of weed, Agroquiller leads to the death of plants. Visible result after treatment of cowworm is visible already on 5-7 day. However, full surrender can be expected from a weed after two to three weeks. What is important, while the drug does not accumulate in the soil, decomposing into biological substances.
