Soil Active Herbicides; Help Control the Growth of Unwanted Plants and Weeds without Damaging Crops

 

Soil active herbicides are the herbicides which act on the shoots, seeds, and roots of the plant. They are widely used to control the plant growth and other underground parts of the weed. Soil active herbicides can be applied to the soil during the plant’s growth or before plantation. However, the efficacy of these herbicides depends on several factors, such as uniform coverage of treated soil, availability of the active ingredient, and contact of roots/shoots with herbicide treated soil, among others. Moreover, they help increase crop yield of, which, in turn, facilitates the demand for these products.

Moreover, the demand for soil active herbicides has increased due to the increasing demand for food and increasing population around the world. Soil active herbicides are an important element in the manufacture of various crops. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), food choices by households influence the types of crops that America's farmers grow, the prices farmers receive, and the way in which various crops are transformed into food products. Soil active herbicides help control the growth of unwanted plants. They are active within the soil for a specific time and are applied before and after the plantation of crops.

However, the increasing use of herbicides can have a negative impact on the environment. For example, herbicides can contaminate the water or soil in the surrounding area. Furthermore, improper dosage of soil active herbicides can affect the yield of crops. Thus, it is important to use the necessary amount of herbicides to avoid such problems. Soil active herbicides and foliar herbicides are used together to ensure the complete weed control. Soil granular insecticides are the best to be used in conjunction with the soilless media, which forms the covering for the application of the foliar herbicides.

Foliar herbicides are generally herbicides with a long-lasting action and is ideal for growing conditions. They form the covering for the application of the soil active herbicides and foliar herbicides. It is not just the crop that benefits from these herbicides but also the farmers who grow the crops and people who consume the food. This is certainly the best way to ensure that the crops are safe and healthy.
