WEED MANAGEMENT:
WE ALL KNOW that weeds are problematic. They compete with our crops for nutrients, water, sunlight. They also harbour pests & diseases. If Shamva grass is not controlled timeously, it can cause up to 70% yield reduction in MAIZE! @basera_john @agribusiness110
A weed free field from planting to harvesting, together with superior genetics from Syngenta, Seedco, Monsanto etc. plus good "Agronomics" in a most likely "Good Season" is indeed a "formula for robust productivity & success" USE @Agricura_ZW HERBICIDES FOR CLEANER FIELDS
For a Maize monocultural set up: A combination of Metolachlor 1.5Lt/ha + Atrazine 3Lt/ha is ideal in terms of pre-emergent HERBICIDES. Those into rotations ~ a combination of Metolachlor 1.5Lt/ha + MCPA 3Lt/ha is ideal! @basera_john @agribusiness110 @MoLAWRR_Zim @WendyMadzura
The examples given above are for those most affordable products. However those who have planned way ahead of time can come & grab INTEGRITY ~ at the recommended 1litre per hectare, it will do a fantastic job!! @basera_john @WendyMadzura @MoLAWRR_Zim @AgritexS @MM_Garden1
REMEMBER: For a hectare, when using Knapsacks ~ you need between 187 to 250 litres of water. Pre-emergent herbicides are applied on soils which are relatively moist. Pre-emergent herbicides are applied immediately after planting or within 3 day's after planting! @basera_john
Don't forget that the application rate depends on soil clay content & we use flat fan nozzles for pre-emergent herbicides. For more information contact us today @Agricura_ZW - +263772144440-2/+263(242) 621570-9 or Email:agricura@agricura.co.zw

1/2) Simple Agrometrics
When interpreting Soil Analysis Results, you MUST state the type of Crop e.g. Maize, Potato etc., then the Yield target e.g. 10 tons/ha etc. In terms of nutrition, YOU MUST FIRST SATISFY PHOSPHORUS REQUIREMENTS @MoLAWRR_Zim @basera_john @WendyMadzura
2/2) This is because GENERALLY - ZIMBABWEAN SOILS LACK PHOSPHORUS! Also phosphorus is technically immobile in the soil, with some scholars arguing that mobility can never exceed 1/8 of an inch per YEAR! @basera_john @MoLAWRR_Zim @Rusere_Ronald @WendyMadzura @mucharedzeyi
1/2) SOIL ANALYSIS
Afterthought: Soil Analysis is done in the Laboratory. In ZIMBABWE one can take their samples to Aglabs at @Agricura_ZW, UZ, TRB @MoLAWRR_Zim , Zimlabs,, Results will come through in the form of a Soil Test Certificate @basera_john @MM_Garden1 @Rusere_Ronald
