Update:
I have been able to clear the land and planted my maize.
The farmland has been extended to 30 acres of maize only for now.

But there is another little problem. The maize is about three weeks old but it has almost been taken over by weed. This is despite spraying with athrazine and ParaeForce herbicides immediately after planting.
Now I don't know which herbicide to use that will not affect my maize but will kill the weeds both broadleaf and grasses.
Any expert advice will be appreciated.

Dear friend,

All of your questions are very simple to attend to. But in answering them, some pertinent or basic things need to be known. The efficiency of any brand name herbicide is strictly dependent on its Proper application.

Will you be using the manufacturer' application dosage or your instinct??
The timing of your application will equally determine its efficiency. A fairly wet soil will allow for herbicide efficiency than a dry/ caked soil.

Any brand of glyphosate must not be used at all at this stage. - for obvious reasons.

You are at liberty to choose between "Stricker" herbicide (if the field has a high percentage of grasses than broad leaved weeds) or any other brand of " 2,4 Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid" herbicide if the field contacts largely broad leaved weed or go with gramoxone or paraquat groups to just suppress the foliars of perennial grasses.

I hope this helps!

Nonetheless; its not usually a one cap fits all.

The pump or noozle calibrations, the walking speed of the farmer and deligence of the applicator will invariably affect the efficiency of herbicide choosen afterall.

I can't thank you enough for this advice. After contacting an expert who works with IAR&T, He gave exactly the same advice today and I've purchased the herbicide. It will be applied from tomorrow.
I'm so grateful sir.
I'll keep you updated with the outcome.

Pls someone shd say something, I want to learn oo.

Can't u do manual weeding? because at that stage, maize plant shd be free from weed totally. Pls act fast

Manual weeding is costly and there is possibility of accidental disturbance of the maize plants.
