Weeds are a constant problem that can harm your crops and reduce your farm’s income. They compete with crops for water, nutrients, and sunlight. To tackle this issue, farmers turn to agricultural herbicides, which are important tools for weed management and crop protection. However, the effectiveness of many current herbicides is decreasing due to increasing herbicide resistance.
Bayer, a leader in crop science, has a dedicated team of scientists and agronomists. With our strong experience in Indian agriculture, our experts understand the specific challenges farmers face. That is why we develop innovative, effective herbicides designed to protect your crops from various kinds of weeds.
Bayer herbicides are a trusted brand among farmers across different regions of India. Farmers use our advanced herbicides that help them with effective weed control, healthy crop growth, and ultimately higher yields.

To ensure the safe use of herbicides:
Use herbicides only when absolutely required, and always get advice from authorised retailer before buying them.
When carrying herbicides, keep them safely away from humans, animals, and food.
Store herbicides in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated, locked place.
Wear protective gear while mixing and loading.
Follow proper cleaning procedures after applying herbicides. Thoroughly rinse tools or equipment that were used when mixing the herbicide.
When spraying herbicides, always wear personal protection equipment and use calibrated equipment that does not leak.

The effective use of herbicides for weed control at various crop stages includes pre-plant and pre-emergence application, considering crop and weed development, correct application following package instructions, post–emergence application, integrated weed management, and minimising environmental impact.
To effectively manage weeds:
Herbicides generally have zero to very little effect on soil when compared to other pesticides. However, some herbicides, particularly those containing glyphosate, can have an indirect impact on soil microbial populations and soil functioning. Additionally, contact herbicides, as opposed to systemic herbicides, have minimal soil impact because they act directly on plant foliage.
Yes, weather conditions such as wind speed, temperature, rainfall, and soil moisture should be considered while applying herbicides. Following specific instructions for each herbicide is critical for maximising effectiveness.
Storing herbicides:
Disposal of herbicides:
The effects of herbicide exposure on humans and pets may range from mild irritation of the skin or other allergy reactions to more serious symptoms. Exposure can occur if herbicides are applied to the skin, inhaled, or ingested.
