The chemical substance based on glyphosphate "Tornado-500" is used all over the world, it does not accumulate in the soil. According to the biologist, the active substance penetrates through the leaves, disperses throughout the organs of the plant and reaches the roots, gradually killing the tree. The first signs of oppression appear in two or three weeks, complete death comes later.
