How Many Liters Of Water Per Acre (herbicides) by Nobody: 6:27am On Jul 01, 2021 |
this is he experience I got from one acre corn farm, I've dumped 7 bottles of glyphosphate(yes and two before which far failed woefully) I sprayed one bottle to 75litrs delivered by a 20liter jacto sprayer, with a fine nozzle(at high pressure it produces mist) as you've guessed,it failed. licking my wounds I switched to 60liters to 1liter of Forceup® delivered by a 16Liter striker sprayer @250ml to 16L (this one produced tiny droplets like dew and even bigger with minimal chances of drift, I used it perfectly well in spraying glyphosphate between my rows of corn with 1 incident per 2000) Am I overdoing it or am I in the right track, I would also like to try my hands on other systemic herbicides (contact herbicides are off limits for me. mynd44 lalasticlala Farmtech |

For paraquat, use 150ml to 16l normal knapsack or 20l jackto anything above that is a waste For glyphosphates, the weeds you deal with determine the volume of chemical to use. I know a farmer who uses 150ml per 16l knapsack and it works for him. For segdes, Guinea grass and elephant grass age and toughness of plant dictate the quantity of chemical used New sprouts ,tender and young plants 150ml For vigorous growing weeds 200 to 250mls For hardy and toughen weed at flowering and seeding stage 300mls most especially for elephant grass else you are just petting it This is from years of experience not those recommended usage that doesn't work sometimes. Also bear in mind that weeds have started building resistance to the herbicide so for whichever herbicide u want to use add half a satchet of 60naira detergent. It makes your herbicide more active and binds it to the leaves. But note that if it touches and crop then there is no survival for it And if after this your herbicide doesn't work then it's safe to say that the chemical is original fake. If 3 fake bottles of roundup can be added to a sealed carton I bought from a recognized agro dealer then there is nothing that they can't do My own piece |

ekerensima:. I've not tried any other systemic for now. But I have them in mind. In the long run, I'm looking at the doing things more organically. |

Re: How Many Liters Of Water Per Acre (herbicides) by FarmTech(m): 9:31pm On Jul 02, 2021 |
Emempaul:. No. But weeds can also be controlled with mulch and by using drip irrigation in the dry season. |

[quote author=ekerensima post=103315180][/quote] At a point, even me wey use my hand spray the farm come dey doubt mysef say I no measure am well. It was wen I used the chemical elsewhere that I found out the truth. So till I used that carton finish na so I mix everything Like I said earlier add half a satchet of detergent to increase chemical activeness as the weeds have started building resistance to the glyphosphates family. Since I don't know the effects on crop, I only make sure I use it in preplanting operations and to dessicated weed before cassava havest. I still more to striker for corn and paraquat family for cassava |

Re: How Many Liters Of Water Per Acre (herbicides) by Emempaul(m): 4:07pm On Jul 04, 2021 |
ekerensima: Yes you can provided rain falls at least two day after spraying Another chemical to go for though expensive but it's worth the buy is LAGON. THOUGH it still follow the same rules of atrazine, it is more effective |

Re: How Many Liters Of Water Per Acre (herbicides) by Farmerakinloye6(m): 7:21am On Jul 05, 2021 |
ekerensima:herbicide like force urion, premextria, lagoon,atrazine e.t.c are selective systemic that kill seed which need some level of moisture for it to work, and once you spray it, you most not work on it! If you do you are simply render it work ineffective. IF YOU PLANT OKRA or MELONS FARMILY then spray any of those, IT WILL NOT GERMINATE. I don't encourage it uses for two or three sisters crop unless you are ready for serious manual weeding. Just one crop maybe maize, cassava,yam or cocoyam e.t.c |
