Rooter Herbicide | 1kg is a powerful, systemic pre-emergence and post-emergence weed control solution designed to target a broad spectrum of annual and perennial grasses, sedges, and broadleaf weeds. It is widely used in crops such as maize, cassava, rice, and vegetables. With its long-lasting effect, Rooter ensures clean fields, reduced weed competition, and higher crop yields. Key Features of Rooter Herbicide | 1kg: Weight: 1kg Type: Systemic herbicide. Mode of Action: Pre- and post-emergence. Systemic herbicide (inhibits EPSP synthase, disrupting plant growth). Target Weeds: Broadleaf weeds, grasses, woody plants, and invasive species. Formulation: Powder or granular (depending on manufacturer). Application: Can be applied using knapsack or boom sprayers. Compatibility: Compatible with many commonly used crop protection products. Rainfast: Effectiveness maintained after drying on the leaf surface. Residual Effect: No soil residual activity—safe for replanting after weeds are eliminated. User-Friendly: Mixes easily with water; no specialized equipment needed. Uses / Application Areas: Crops: Maize, cassava, rice, soybeans, vegetables, and plantation crops Timing: Applied before weed germination (pre-emergence) or when weeds are still young (post-emergence) Benefit: Reduces weed pressure, promotes early crop growth, reduces labor cost from manual weeding Applications of Rooter Herbicide: 1. Pre-Emergence Application When to Apply: Immediately after planting but before crop or weed emergence. Purpose: Prevents weed seeds from germinating by forming a chemical barrier in the soil. Crops Suitable: Maize, rice, cassava, soybeans, groundnuts, and vegetables. Target Weeds: Annual grasses and some broadleaf weeds. Application Rate: As directed on the label (typically 2–4kg/ha depending on formulation and weed pressure). 2. Post-Emergence Application When to Apply: When weeds are already growing but still young (2–6 leaf stage). Purpose: Absorbed through leaves and roots, killing existing weeds. Best Used With: Selective spraying to avoid damage to young crops. Target Weeds: Actively growing grasses, sedges, and broadleaf weeds. 3. Spot Treatment Use Case: For areas with localized weed infestation. Method: Mix in smaller quantities and apply only to targeted zones. Benefit: Minimizes chemical use and environmental impact. 4. Inter-Row Application (for row crops) Method: Applied between rows where weeds emerge while crops are growing. Tool: Use a directed sprayer to avoid crop contact.
