Australian farmers use kerosene can, and I have to

I have a trait to think even of the most incredible ideas. Why not try to understand those who use kerosene from weeds and pests? So if they are wrong, as it seems at first glance?

Kerosene (petroleum fraction) used in the garden, for the same purpose as the tar. And they heal the throat. At the pharmacy, I did not find him, although he should be, and in the economic and DIY stores from 56 p. per 0.5 liter

How safe and effective use of kerosene? We decided to look around, but as in other countries, and as soon as it was, and I look back.

Australia

In Australia, the kerosene used against insect pests and weeds. Farmers State does not endorse, the profitability of agriculture in arid areas is small. Therefore, farmers have found probably the most profitable for a method of protection fields - kerosene. It is produced in Australia.

So no one thought a bad state, by the way say, in Australia there are state-farm corporation where the State is the share participant, the picture is quite different. Bet on science.

Of course, not all farmers are choosing as a herbicide kerosene. Remarkable for the fact that some of his picks.

During the period of guaranteed dearth, kerosene time to work for the benefit of farmers by 100%.

our grandfathers

And in Soviet times, the kerosene used in collective farms on shoots or shoots up. Be sure to dry weather, when there is dew (otherwise there will be burns on culture). 600 kg per ha (60 g / sq. m) and obtained excellent carrots. Widely feared to use, since kerosene is flammable, and the probability that a drunk Vanya throw a cigarette butt on the field, or faulty equipment fire suit, was great.

And our grandparents used the kerosene in a similar way. it must not be diluted.

And in the magazine «Farmland» recommend kerosinchik of weeds. And that, herbicides or something better? Kerosene is volatile, there is hope that will do the trick and fly away.

it acts on insect pests, as well as tar: Scares. Years in different insects at different times, so look up to shoots, insects and repel at the same time. By the way, bees and other pollinators, too, can forget the way to the smelly site.

What is the conclusion I made for myself

No kerosene! I'm in recovery of the soil, biota in so much effort and money invested!

In addition, not all weeds are killed with kerosene. For example, write that chamomile and sowthistle resistant thereto. Apparently so. After kerosene, as I understand, burns only the green part, the roots are not affected.

If anyone has trouble directly, for example, with Medvedkov or carrot fly, you can think of kerosene, which they do not like. And to me what is the need?

And how do you feel about the idea of ​​kerosene?

I would be grateful for a subscription and chat :)
