Operating principle
Biceps garant is translaminar drug that is, it is absorbed by the leaves. It can also be absorbed by sprouts and weed seed roots. He quickly deals with weeds in the early stages of their life. Getting into the weeds, the active ingredient of the agrochemical violates the process of photosynthesis and the growth of meristem tissues, the exchange of useful substances, stops cell division. As a result, the weed is oppressed, becomes sluggish and dies.

How to prepare a working solution
To prepare the working solution for 1 hectare of crops in a tank with a capacity of 200 liters, take water and add the drug to it. It is very important to observe just such a sequence of actions, and not vice versa. The mixture must be stirred to a uniform consistency. 
When and how to spray
Spraying of beet plantations is recommended to be carried out at a temperature of + 10-25 ° C. In case of non-compliance with the temperature regime, the drug may have a phytotoxic effect on the beet itself: its growth will slow down, and the tips of the leaves will turn brown in color. Such symptoms disappear after a week, and will not affect the yield.
Spraying after rain or for strong dew is also not recommended, since such treatment will not be effective.
Important!It is forbidden to resort to agrochemical treatment of plantings, if the beets are under stress, which is caused by adverse weather conditions (drought, frost). It is also contraindicated to spray the culture if the air temperature is below +10°C, or above +25°WITH.
The dose of herbicide and the timing of its introduction is determined depending on culture and weed ages:- if there are 4 leaves on the crop, and weeds are in the early stage of growth, it is necessary to carry out a single spraying using 3 liters of the herbicide per 200 l of the working solution;
- in the case when 2-4 leaves appeared on the pest plants, it is advised to carry out spraying in two stages, with a calculation of 1.5 liters of agrochemical per 200 liters of working solution. The interval between the first and second treatment should be 7-14 days;
- To get rid of weeds in the phase of the cotyledons, it is necessary to spray three times a day, with an interval of 7-14 days between each. Consumption of the drug - 1 l / 200 l of working solution.
Doses are specified with calculation for 1 hectare of the area of crops! The herbicide is compatible with any other pesticides (for example, Miura, Hacker, Pilot). The two-liter dose of the drug is prohibited to use until 4 true leaves appear on the crop.
Important! Proceed to handwork can only be a week after spraying the drug. Mechanized treatment can be carried out after 3 days.
Action speed
After 4-8 days, the action of the herbicide will declare itself: the weeds will become sluggish and oppressed. Their leaves will gradually begin to lighten, indicating that the process of photosynthesis is slowing down. Such a state slowly turns into chlorosis, which leads to the withering and drying of the aggressor plant. After 2-3 weeks, complete weed death occurs.
Period of protective action
The protective effect of this herbicide lasts until a new wave of weeds appears. 
Shelf life
