As an Extension Officer, Climate Change Champion, or a farmer, are you proud of the management of your maize field today?

๐ŸƒSuccessful weed control is important for achieving maximum yield in crop production
๐ŸŒฟ Uncontrolled weeds can lead to yield losses of maize up to 30% or, in some cases, even 91% of the potential yield
๐ŸŒฟ Uncontrolled weeds contribute to the weed seed bank
๐ŸŒฟ Depending on the species, seeds dropped in one season can remain viable and come up in subsequent season

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿฟ Do not wait till the entire field becomes weedy to start controlling weeds
๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿฟ Check for weedy spots and pull by hand
๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿฟ Slash with a cutlass or remove with the hoe and spread the mulch under the plants

IN ALL CASES, STOP WEEDS AT THE RIGHT TIME TO KEEP YOUR CROP HEALTHY.
