Soft spring wheat of the L 505 variety is an annual herbaceous plant with a stem height ranging from 60 to 180 cm and a tufted root system. Wheat leaves consist of a sheath and a linear blade, while the inflorescence has the shape of a complex ear. Successful cultivation of this variety requires specific climatic conditions, including a sum of mean daily temperatures of no less than 1300°C and sufficient soil moisture, especially during the grain filling period. Wheat is a self-pollinating crop and is widely used in agriculture for the production of flour, grains, and feed.
To protect L 505 wheat crops from a wide range of dicot weeds, systemic herbicides are used. One such preparation is Floracid Activ, containing active ingredients tribenuron-methyl and florasulam. It is effective against weeds resistant to some other herbicides and is applied as water-dispersible granules. Treatment should be carried out on a windless morning or evening to ensure uniform coverage of weed leaves.
Additionally, the herbicide Basagran, containing bentazon, is used to combat weeds in wheat crops. This preparation is applied after seedling emergence and is effective against various types of weeds, including ragweed, pigweed, and sorrel. The optimal temperature for its application ranges from 15 to 24 degrees Celsius. The use of these herbicides contributes to increased yield and the preservation of L 505 wheat crop health.
