Weed Control in Mixed Crops of Maize and Beans

Abstract

Apply herbicide after planting when soil is moist or if water is expected within 7 days, BUT before crops and weeds emerge. Use your normal walking speed when spraying. • Herbicide mixing- half fill the spray knapsack with clean water then pour the required quantity of herbicide into the knapsack. Top up with clean water to the final volume required. Shake the mixture in the knapsack during mixing and application. Do not wait. Spray the herbicide mixture onto the soil surface so that the whole plot is covered. • Use protective clothing such as mouth mask, gloves and a coat when spraying. Also, use directions given by the manufacturer.
