What herbicide is suitable for use after Sophora flavescens seedlings?

Sophora flavescens is a leguminous plant, and its root is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb with good economic value. During cultivation, weeds tend to appear in the field. So, many farmer friends will wonder, what herbicide is used after Sophora flavescens seedlings?

1. What herbicide to use after Sophora flavescens seedlings?

After Sophora flavescens seedlings, quizalofop-p-ethyl can be used for weed control. When gramineous weeds in the field grow to the 3-6 leaf stage, apply the pesticide evenly as a basal leaf spray treatment. Use it before 10 a.m. or after 3 p.m. Do not apply pesticide on windy days, in drought, or when rain is expected within 2 hours. Use at most 1 time per season.

2. Introduction to quizalofop-p-ethyl products

This product is absorbed through the stems and leaves of weeds, conducts bidirectionally upward and downward within the plant, accumulates at the tips and intercalary meristems, inhibits cell lipid synthesis, and causes the weeds to die. It can be used to control annual gramineous weeds in soybean fields and cotton fields or for post-emergence weed control.

3. Precautions for use

1. Use strictly according to the instructions. Do not expand the scope of use or increase the dosage, so as to avoid phytotoxicity. When weeds are larger, more numerous, or when used in drought or low temperature, the high end of the approved dosage should be selected.

2. In drought, soybean leaves may sometimes show slight phytotoxicity, but they recover quickly and there is no impact on yield.

3. Avoid splashing the pesticide solution onto gramineous crops such as rice, wheat, corn, and sugarcane.

4. This product is toxic to fish, aquatic organisms, silkworms, bees, and birds. Avoid contact with these organisms when applying the pesticide. Never discard the waste liquid in ponds, ditches, rivers, streams, lakes, etc. It is prohibited to wash application equipment in waters such as rivers and ponds to avoid polluting water sources. Do not use during the flowering period of flowering plants. Do not use near silkworm rooms and mulberry fields.

5. Please use this product in accordance with pesticide safety use guidelines. Avoid contact of the pesticide solution with skin and eyes and avoid contaminating clothing. Never smoke or eat or drink at the application site. When mixing and spraying the pesticide, wear gloves, a face mask, and goggles, and wear boots, long-sleeved clothing, and long pants. After application, immediately wash the face and hands and change clothes.

6. Used empty packaging should be rinsed three times with clean water and then properly disposed of. Never reuse it or repurpose it for other uses. All application equipment should be immediately cleaned with clean water or an appropriate detergent after use.

7. Avoid contact by pregnant women and nursing women.
