Herbicides, also known as weedkillers, are chemicals used to control unwanted plants, also known as weeds. Non-selective herbicides (also known as total weedkillers in commercial products) can be used to clear waste ground, industrial and construction sites, railways and railway embankments because they kill all plant material with which they come into contact. Other important distinctions besides selective/non-selective include persistence (also known as residual action: how long the product stays in place and remains active), means of uptake (whether it is absorbed by above-ground foliage only, through the roots, or by other means), and mechanism of action (how it works).  Historically, common salt and other metal salts were used as herbicides; however, these have gradually fallen out of favor, and a number of these are now banned in some countries due to their persistence in soil, toxicity, and groundwater contamination concerns. Herbicides have also been used in com...

Weedicides   Weedicides are pesticides or weed killers used to kill unwanted plants. Weedkillers are chemical-based solutions that are specifically designed to target different types of weeds in the most effective way possible while causing no harm to the rest of the crop. They are commonly used in agricultural activities to increase output. Weedicides are highly water soluble and naturally persistent. Measures to be taken: Weedicides and herbicides should be used with caution. 1) The appropriate proportions of weedicides or herbicides for the various crops must be followed.  2) Do not use weedicides or herbicides that have expired. Check the manufacturing date and expiration date of any weedicides or herbicides you intend to purchase carefully.  3) Use a different Knapsack pump to spray weedicides or herbicides.  4) Make sure the soil is moist, gritty, and lump-free before spraying weedicides or herbicides.  5) Apply weedicides or herbi...

Fungicides Fungicides are pesticides that kill or prevent fungi and their spores from growing. They can be used to control fungi that cause plant damage, such as rusts, mildews, and blights. In other situations, they could be used to control mould and mildew. Fungicides function in a variety of ways, but the majority of them either damage fungal cell membranes or interfere with energy production within fungal cells. Fungicide residues on food for human consumption have been discovered, mostly from post-harvest treatments. Some fungicides are hazardous to human health, such as vinclozolin, which is no longer in use. Ziram is also a fungicide that is toxic to humans over time and fatal if consumed. A variety of fungicides are also used in human medicine. Fungicides are used in agriculture as well as to combat fungal infections in animals. Chemicals used to control oomycetes, which are not fungi, are also referred to as fungicides because oomycetes infect plants using the sam...

INTRODUCTION TO INSECTICIDES The substances that control insects are known as insecticides . By killing the bug or taking other measures to stop it from acting in ways that are regarded detrimental, control may be achieved. The application of insecticides to pests is done in a variety of formulations and delivery mechanisms, and they can be either natural or synthetic (sprays, baits, slow-release diffusion, etc.). In recent years, the field of biotechnology has even succeeded in introducing bacterial genes that code for insecticidal proteins into a variety of crop plants, killing any pests that mistakenly feed on them.Of the more than 1 million species of insects, about 10,000 species feed on crops, and of these, 700 species are thought to be responsible for the majority of insect damage to crops grown by humans, both in the field and during storage. While insects have been around for at least 250 million years, humanoids have been around for more than 3 million years. We can assume t...

The agricultural cycle is the annual cycle of activities associated with crop growth and harvesting (plant). Among these activities are loosening the soil, seeding, special watering, moving plants as they grow larger, and harvesting. A crop cannot be grown without these activities. Soil preparation, sowing, manure and fertiliser addition, irrigation, harvesting, and storage are the main steps in agricultural practises. Annual  plants  are  typically  grown  in  high-resource  environments  and  regions  that  include: •climates  with  enough  precipitation  and  temperature  to  allow  plants  to  complete  their life  cycle  each  year •Soils  that  are  tilled  or  planted  to  an  annual  crop  each  year  are  relatively  flat  and  well  drained,  and  a...

In  order  to  improve  the  fertility  of  the  soil,  boost  crop  output,  and  hasten  the  rate  of  plant  growth,  a  fertiliser  is  essentially  a  chemical  or  natural  substance  that  is  added  to the  soil  or  land. Chemical  fertilisers  must  first  be  created  using  chemicals  before  they  can  be  applied  to  plants,  whereas  natural  fertilisers  can  be obtained  naturally,  such  as  cow  manure. Let's  talk  about  the  impacts  of  utilising  chemical  fertilisers  instead  of  natural  ones &   if  doing  so  is  advantageous  or  notnot What are organic-based fe...

Farming and farm machinery have evolved greatly over the years. The threshing machine has given way to the combine, usually a self-propelled unit that either picks up windrowed grain or cuts and threshes it in one step. The grain binder has been replaced by the swather, which cuts the grain and lays it on the ground in windrows, allowing it to dry before being harvested by a combine. Plows are not used nearly as extensively as before, due in large part to the popularity of minimum tillage to reduce soil erosion and conserve moisture. The disk harrow today is more often used after harvesting to cut the grain stubble left in the field. Although seed drills are still used, the air seeder is becoming more popular with farmers. Today's farm machinery allows farmers to cultivate many more acres of land than the machines of yesterday. Following are some of the key agricultural inventions over the past few centuries. Agricultural machinery relates to the mechanical structures and devices u...
