Ukraine Gate &#8211; April 28, 2021 \u2013 Agriculture<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What shall I do<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The main rule is to choose the right time to control weeds. In this case &#8211; it&#8217;s autumn, a period of slowing down the life processes of the plant. If there is no effect from manual removal, then you should pay attention to other methods, namely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ukrgate.com\/eng\/?p=7211\">spraying<\/a>. Nowadays, there are many chemicals, but I do not really want to use them so as not to contaminate the soil. There is another no less effective, but absolutely safe option &#8211; a self-made solution consisting of liquid soap, citric acid, and vinegar.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The ready-made solution in the fall, be sure, when the street is dry weather, you need to treat the rosettes of plants (watering with a watering can is perfect). In a couple of days, the plants and their root system die. In the spring, the procedure can also be done, but only before flowering. After processing, the dandelion dies in a day.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It all takes about an hour, but the procedure will have to be done twice a year &#8211; the first time in the spring and the second in the fall. The seeds still arrive from neighboring areas.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For the solution you will need:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>70% acetic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ukrgate.com\/eng\/?p=12580\">essence<\/a> &#8211; 170 milliliters (1 bottle), which must be dissolved in five glasses of 250 milliliters of water (1, 250 liters);<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>citric acid &#8211; 4 tsp, which is also soluble in water (500 milliliters);<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>both solutions are mixed and added liquid dishwashing detergent in the amount of four tablespoons.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The solution for processing is ready. The output is two liters of the tool. That&#8217;s enough.<\/p>\n<p>Read also:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ukrgate.com\/eng\/?p=12696\">Protecting Seedlings from Drying Out and Ultraviolet Rays<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><em>Source: Ukrgate<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dandelion &#8211; a fairly common perennial plant with a strong root system, which is quite difficult to get rid of.
