Herbicides

HERBICIDES

Herbicides are used in agricultural and wildland ecosystems to reduce the density of weeds and promote the growth of desirable species. Use of herbicides in agroecosystems may change composition of weed populations. Weeds are unwanted plants growing along with the crops. These undesirable plants, steal the nutrients, sunlight, water and other resources from the crops and affect their growth, which results in the undernourished of crops and decreases the yields. STAR CHEMICALS is one of the most trusted Agro-chemical Brands that strictly controls the qualities of products to meet the ISO standard and provides tested & proven solutions for crop protection.

Advantages of Herbicides or Chemical method of Weed Control

  • The use of herbicides as pre-plant and pre-emergence treatment can control weeds, before their emergence from the soil so that crop can germinate and grow in weed free environment or with minimum competition during their tender and seedling stage. This is not possible with other methods of weed control.
  • In broadcast sown and narrow spaced crops herbicides prove very effective in reaching every weed. Mechanical methods are not so effective in such crops.
  • Weeds with similar morphological characters like crop are escaped from mechanical method. But now herbicides are available which can kill such weeds without damaging the crop.
  • Herbicides withhold the weeds for considerable period after their application. In mechanical methods weeds tend to grow back soon.
  • Deep rooted, vegetatively propagated weeds can be controlled by using translocated herbicides. The mechanical methods like weeding or hoeing are not so effective for their control. Sometimes the suitable combination of mechanical methods (deep ploughing or digging) and chemical methods is more effective for controlling such weeds.
