You can't get what you need here like this. Get a consultant to visit your farm, to advise you appropriately.

My advice for glyphosate users be say, nor spray grass whe never receive rain for more than 1 or two weeks. No say the grass don already weak, make I finish am. Maybe you fit try am with contact herbicide. Glyphosate requires activily growing healthy weeds to work.

For maize production ,understanding weed biology and pest management is very important . After your land preparation, thesame day you sow,(please spray within 24hrs) using altrazine and paraquat( mixed the 2 chemical). Thereafter you can glyphosphate herbicide to control the weeds till you harvest . please make sure your maize are in rows for easy spraying and walkway .

When is the best month to start planting
Re: Maize Plantation by Leogreat5: 4:23pm On Mar 24, 2022
As soon as rain is well established( Mainly for the cob ) . Persons in some part of Delta State have planted already . The second phase of planting will be in August ( main target is the grains because the dry season favours that!)

Profitability depends on your target .Maize is a 2 season crop. For instance you targeting selling fresh maize ,so suppose to have planted now to follow the early flush of maize and make good sales .
But planting for the grains is more profitable .imagine having like 20 hundred kg bags of dry maize now .
