Herbicides
Control unwanted weeds and boost crop production
Unwanted plants and weeds inhibit crop growth and reduce yields by competing with crops for vital nutrients, water, and sunlight. Melvin Weaver & Sons stocks a premium selection of expertly formulated herbicides to help control weeds and increase yields.
Control Weeds All Season
A season-long strategy is the most effective strategy. We carry a wide range of effective weed-control products for any time of year…so you can start clean and finish clean.
Burndown
Begin the growing season by starting clean and clearing the seedbed of unwanted vegetation.
Pre-Emergence
Stop weeds in their tracks by terminating weed seedlings or preventing weed seeds from germinating.
Post-Emergence
Attack actively growing weeds when they are small and layer in residuals for season-long control.
Weed Control in Your Crop Protection Plan
Melvin Weaver & Sons offers proven chemistries that function in a variety of ways…
- Selectivity: Selective herbicides target specific weeds while leaving others unharmed, whereas broad-spectrum options can affect any vegetation with which they come into contact.
- Movement within a plant: Some chemistry kills through direct contact, while others work systemically, traveling through the plant system, destroying it from the inside, out.
- Modes of action: Different chemical groups attack weeds using different modes of action: inhibiting the production of amino acids, blocking
photosynthesis, disrupting cell division, and more.
It’s also important to minimize the ability of weeds to develop a resistance to pesticides. Our team recommends an integrated crop-protection plan that utilizes multiple modes of action and strong residual systems to achieve maximum weed control.
