Herbicides
Crop Protection
Herbicides are chemicals or other agents used in crop protection systems to control unwanted weed species. Good herbicide programs include multiple modes of action to add layers of protection and assist with weed resistance management.
Superior Herbicides for Optimal Weed Control & Higher Yields
Unwanted plants and weeds can significantly hinder crop growth, and lead to reduced yields. Manufacturers today have expertly formulated key herbicides to manage unwanted weeds like pigweed, marestail, and grasses and prevent them from competing with crops for vital soil nutrients, water, and sunlight.

Weed Resistance Management
With very few new modes of action in the research pipeline, it is very important to carefully prevent weed resistance issues. Using full labeled rates of herbicides, and by combining multiple modes of action, we can significantly reduce the incident of weed resistance. Our sales support team will help you utilize multiple modes of action, whether we combine multiple products together or use products that contain multiple modes of action in our recommendation for your farm.
How Herbicides Work
Herbicides work by inhibiting germination, growth, or reproduction of weeds, thereby reducing competition with crops. Our team at Melvin Weaver and Sons offers expert guidance for selecting and applying herbicides to maximize weed control for the best possible outcomes.
We stock a premium selection of herbicides in easy-to-apply formats whether it is bulk containers with pump and meter options, packaged goods or granular and powder formulations. We seek to offer you many options that allow you to make the best possible choice for your farming operation, while providing excellent weed control and crop safety.
