Effective Weed Management for Healthy Crops

herbicides-top-pic

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.

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, postemergence application, integrated weed management, and minimising environmental impact.

To effectively manage weeds: 

  • Choose a suitable herbicide for your target weeds and crops. 
  • Follow the herbicide package instructions properly. 
  • Apply herbicides during the right crop and weed growth stages. 
  • Consider the weather conditions to avoid drift. 
  • When handling herbicides, wear proper protective gear. 
  • Calibrate the equipment to ensure consistent application. 
  • Maintain accurate records of herbicide application. 

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: 

  • Keep herbicides in their original containers. 
  • Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. 
  • Keep away from food, feed, and other agricultural chemicals. 

Disposal of herbicides: 

  • Avoid throwing leftover herbicides in drains, rivers, or sewers. 
  • To prevent reuse, clean empty containers three times and puncture them. 
  • Dispose of containers at specified collection sites or recycling facilities.

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.
