Content
The herbicide Titus is a drug that controls the complexes of a dicotyledonous annual weed and any cereals in fields planted with corn, potatoes or tomatoes. The agent penetrates the leaf surfaces with maximum speed and blocks the further separation of unwanted cells. It should be noted that the growth of weeds stops almost immediately after the end of the application of the herbicide. The drug is distinguished by a very long duration of action, rapid and safe decomposition inside the soil, as well as the absence of any harm to the environment.
The action of any herbicide is to destroy unwanted weeds. Many owners are unwise to refuse to use such chemicals in their small area, considering the method more suitable for large agricultural organizations or farms. However, experienced specialists and gardeners have long noted a significant advantage of herbicides over the so-called weeding, since, according to the estimates of highly qualified people in this area, they are able to increase the final value of the crop by almost 70%: the figure does not depend on the size of the plot.
Application on potatoes
It is necessary to spray seedlings only after they have been hilled. You also need to consider the recommended potato height: it should not be below the 5 centimeters mark or exceed the numerical value of 20 centimeters.
Instructions
According to the instructions, the recommended amount of the product should be calculated based on the time of application and, directly, the very type of weeds. The solution must be prepared only before the actual use, for which the spray tanks are half filled with clean, without the presence of impurities, water, into which the preparation granules are immersed, after which the entire solution is thoroughly mixed and is not subjected to direct use or any other influence for 15 minutes.
How to prepare a working solution?
The water-soluble herbicide bag must be dipped in the amount of water indicated on the package, without opening, and leave until the herbicide itself is completely dissolved. After that, pour plain clean water into the spray tank and turn on the mixer, gradually adding the required amount of Titus. Then you need to stop the mixer, add a portion of clean water and restart it.
Drug action
In most cases the agent penetrates through the leaf surface of plants directly into the root systemby stopping the production of vital enzymes and interrupting the synthesis carried out with the help of plant amino acids. In this connection, there is a cessation of the growth of the number of formed plant cells, as well as the effective destruction of the rhizomes of the latter.

Application safety
The herbicide, to the relief of many gardeners, has an extremely low toxicity index, without having any negative effects on the organisms of animals and humans. From the point of view of environmental safety, Titus is one of the most environmentally friendly products characterized by increased biodegradability, and therefore any subsequent culture can be used without any restrictions.
Consumption rates
Tomatoes
Experts recommend using 0,05 kg of funds based on 1 hectare... In this case, the consumption rates of solutions should exceed the mark of 300 liters.
Corn
Experts recommend applying 0.04 kg of herbicide per hectare. Consumption rates of solutions should not exceed the mark in 500 liters.
Potato
As with tomatoes, the recommended amount of the drug is 0.05 kg per hectare. The consumption rate of the solutions themselves is absolutely the same as with the two previous cultures.
