Herbicide application

Herbicide application remains a key element of the plant protection system, requiring a deep understanding of weed biology and the mechanisms of action of the preparations. For an agronomist, the competent use of chemical agents is not only a method of weed control but also a necessary measure to maintain long-term field productivity. Special attention should be paid to preventing resistance, which arises from the regular use of the same groups of active ingredients, as well as to selecting optimal treatment strategies for complex agrocenoses.

This collection contains expert materials focused on current challenges in field crop production. Readers will find information on preventing weed resistance to 2,4-D and MCPA group herbicides in winter wheat crops. The articles also provide a detailed analysis of protection technologies for mixed corn and sunflower crops. The materials present an assessment of the effectiveness of both post-emergence treatment and the use of tank mixtures of soil herbicides during pre-emergence application. The provided data will help specialists adjust their approaches to developing plant protection programs and minimize the risks of yield reduction.
