There is nothing anyone can do for you as you already poisoned the farm by ya carelessness

They clearly sold you a Herbicide packaged as an insect repellant.

The only remedy is to removed the contaminated ones, and salvage what you can.

I did Beans farming to help sustain livelihood, unfortunately, the DD Force Chemical I applied destroyed all my Beans. I don't know what to do.

When I was offered the Chemical, I objected but the Dealer insisted that it was the appropriate Chemical to use, after going through the Label I also read that it can used plants such as Maize, beans and others.

Highly concentrated, not diluted properly caused the burns and the seed was already infected before chemical was applied!

Please do not eat nor sell... It's harmful to human health.

Probably the spraying machine was first used to spray a herbicide and was not properly cleaned or flushed before using it to spray an insecticide on crops. It will definitely kill them because traces of the herbicide are still there. I've had this experience. Also, heavy dose of the insecticide can block the chloroplasts in the plant there by preventing the leaves from undergoing photosynthesis. The leaves will turn pale and start to wither. So one should be careful on the use of these chemicals in the farm.

The chemical you used is too much! Increase water during irrigation.

As a farmer why on earth will you spray chemicals on cash crops?

Wat were you trying to achieve?

Kill the weeds? Or what ? I don’t understand.

The level of concentration was done according to stipulated guideline, those seeds were purchased from approved seed centre.

It's likely the spraying machine you used contains leftover of herbicide inside and you didn't rinse it properly before use. This has happened to my friend before.

The mixing ratio was not the issue, I even under mixed the chemical with the Water, I was even thought the Chemical won't be effective only for that disaster to occurs. Really lost heavy Money that I borrowed to support the farm work

Herbicide has never been used in that Spraying Machine, at least in the Period of 3Months when I was handling the farm with full dedication.

I don't think it's DD force that destroy your farm coz DD force is an insecticide.

You can use Láraforce or caterpillar force on the farm
Maybe it was not diluted well.

Not so, that Sprayer was totally free from any other usage
Re: Help Nairalanders, My Farm Is Going Down by hiwebstuff: 1:32pm On Jan 10
You may have used the same Knapsack spraying machine used for herbicide to spray the insecticide without thoroughly washing off the herbicide.

Over concentration can cause it

The mixing was wrong

DD force is meant for fumigation and not to be used on crops. The concentration is too high for grains 🌾

the knapsack sprayer was not properly cleaned. I have witnessed this too
Re: Help Nairalanders, My Farm Is Going Down by Agricmoney(m): 1:37pm On Jan 10
wow sometimes we are the problems to ourselves. That's a banned chemical you went ahead to use, knowing fully well its adverse effects on the human system in the long run. We should be careful on the agro products we consume because many have darkened their hearts in a bid to maximize profits, sold out agro products which are harmful to the human body.THATS WHY WE NOW ASK FARMERS TO GO INTO ORGANIC FARMING TO CURTAIL ALL THIS EVIL DEEDS.



Anyway, Agriculture is life.

Amount of chemical applied is too much
Re: Help Nairalanders, My Farm Is Going Down by fineboynl(m): 1:38pm On Jan 10
Next time spray little portion of the farm.

If it turns out well you can then spray the rest.
