Chemical Control of Weeds is a Term

Chemical Control of Weeds Chemical Control is three terms !! Appropriate Active Ingredient. Proper Dosage. Proper Timing.

Weeds Control Simply ! Timing Dosage Active Ingredient

Why Weeds Control is important ? Head of Pest Management. Crop Quality and Yield.

Green Forage Crops Forage and Green plants: Alfalfa. Egyptian Clover. Silage Corn. Forage Sorghum. Sudan Grass. Rye Grass.

Cereals and Grain Crops Cereal Grains and Field Crops. Barley. Wheat. Triticale. Grain Sorghum and Corn.

Agronomy Science of Crops Production and Soil Management. Themes: Seeds, Irrigation, Fertilization, Rotations, Machinery, and Protection.

Seeds Irrigation Fertilization Rotation Machinery Protection Agronomy

Chemical Weed Control Terms Herbicide. Pre-Plant. Post-Plant. Pre-Emergence. Post Emergence. Onset of Tillering. Active Ingredient. Active Ingredient %. Trade Name. Systematic Herbicide. Dosage & Application Rate. Weed. Broad Leaves. Narrow Leaves. Annuals, Biennials, and Perennials. Winter and Summer Plants.

Dosage & Application Rate: ml of Herbicide /water (L)/ du (1000 meter square). Usually 4-5 tanks (80-90 Liter of water) is enough for dunnum.

Herbicides 19 Family Registered in MOA. 29 Active Ingredients Available. Trade Names Differ According to % of Active Ingredient.
