Many farmers ask, "How can we control weeds in our maize fields?" Well, here is a simple guide for maintaining a weed-free field, thanks to Agricrop for providing these high-quality products.
Pre-Planting: Before planting, farmers can spray a non-selective herbicide to eliminate weeds. A recommended option for this stage is Roar Extra. If the land has been ploughed, this step can be skipped, moving directly to the next stage.
Pre-Emergence Stage: Herbicides are applied at planting, within three days before crop germination. This includes a combination of Roar Extra (if weeds are present ,if not present don’t add this product ) plus Claw plus Atrazine. This combination prevents the germination of broadleaf and grass weeds, allowing maize to grow without competition. After 3 to 4 weeks, move to the next stage.
Post-Emergence Stage: Herbicides are applied after the crop has germinated and weeds start to appear. If no weeds are present at 3 to 4 weeks ,you can wait for another 2 weeks before applying post-emergence herbicides. The recommended herbicide at this stage is the famous Anchor, controlling broadleaf, grass, and seeded weeds, keeping the field weed-free until harvest. Weeds growing after the crop canopies or beyond the critical 8-week period pose no threat to maize yield.
Ensure herbicides are applied to moist soil for optimal results; applying them to dry soil may yield poor results.
