How to Choose the Right Herbicide for Your Farm

How to Choose the Right Herbicide for Your Farm

Choosing a herbicide starts with identifying the weeds present on your field and knowing whether you need a pre-emergence or post-emergence product.

Your crop matters. Selective herbicides are formulated for specific crops, while non-selective products are generally used before planting or on non-crop areas.

Timing and application rate determine results. Always read the manufacturer's label, use the recommended rate, and apply with well-calibrated equipment.

If you are unsure, speak with an agronomist before purchase so the product matches your crop programme.
