Where there is a good host and active work begins on the quality of the soil, weeds will necessarily appear. So it turns out that in the struggle for a good harvest, we inevitably create fertile conditions for the growth of weeds. But this does not mean that the problem can not be solved. It is possible, but also by different methods. The control of weeds at the site is systematic and never stopped.
Preparations for weed control
The most radical and effective solution to this problem is the use of herbicides. Of course, with the very mention of chemicals and similar products, it becomes scary for the crop, or rather its safety. But manufacturers of drugs for control of weeds in one voice argue that if all the rules and dosages are complied with, the chemical industry product will harm the weeds exclusively.
There are a number of drugs that do not harm people and crops. They include "Lazurite", "Roundall" and "Tornado" . For all their effectiveness, they are safe. But, the instructions recommend to apply them before planting, then to conduct all standard measures for preparing the soil for planting.
It is important to choose periods without winds and rains. Then the funds will work efficiently, and they will not have to resort to them more than three times a season. This method justifies itself when it is necessary to bring into working form a site with a strong degree of neglect.
Classic ways to control weeds in the garden
There are enough methods and to simplify the task we will define them all in the list. The criterion for selection will be the principle of solving the problem:
- First we will touch on the control of weeds in the garden area, aimed at the temperature effect. In other words, our goal is not to allow the wintering of seeds in the soil. Surely you have already come across a debate around the autumn and spring digging. As a rule, it is recommended to dig in only when the temperature is detrimental to the seeds of weeds. That's why a lot depends on the region, the appointment of the garden.
- The second type of weed control is aimed at creating conditions unsuitable for germination. This is a classic mulching or beds on the film. The bottom line is that even with the preservation of moisture and growth-friendly conditions, do not allow the seeds to warm up under the sun's rays and ascend. Immediately after weeding, it is desirable to lay mulch on cleaned areas. But growing on film also solves the problem of rotting fruits. You get completely weedless beds, and even after ripening the fruits will not be on the ground and will not begin to deteriorate even after heavy rain. These methods of combating weeds can also be combined with natural live mulch. We are talking about planting in the intercropping of ground cover plants, which will not allow the weed to grow. This applies to cereals, which will not be able to drive away the weeds from the beds.
- And finally, weed control methods associated with competent soil care. Here it is a question of competent irrigation, fertilization and regulation of soil composition. Drip irrigation is not just a fashionable current among summer residents. When we abundantly water absolutely the whole area near the beds, thereby helping to survive the weed.
When the soil remains dry, even the former weed becomes tight. And if we also start adding fertilizers point-by-point, only to the seeding sites of seedlings and seeds, we will further complicate the weed problem. The control of weeds includes an understanding of the state of the soil. Weed can be useful, if you know his preferences. For example, the sharp spread of a weed plant on the site is nothing more than a signal to change the composition of the soil. So, to expel from a site of moss will help a mixture of sand with urea, and ash with lime will become a weapon against the woodlice.
