Abstract
This manual provides detailed guidance on the proper application of herbicides for weed control. It covers the key types of herbicides: pre-emergence, post-emergence, and spot treatments, as well as total vegetation control. The document emphasizes the importance of adhering to product labels, applying herbicides at the right time, and using appropriate application techniques to avoid damage to non-target plants. Safety precautions, such as wearing protective clothing and avoiding herbicide use during unfavorable weather conditions, are also highlighted. Additionally, it discusses common reasons for herbicide failure, such as improper application and inadequate sprayer calibration. The aim is to equip farmers with the knowledge to effectively apply herbicides and avoid mistakes that could lead to poor weed control.
