Hello Hive

Spraying chemicals in field on rainy days dilutes the chemical which reduces its effectiveness 

Today is another day to work on the farm even though it has been drizzling we didn't expect the rains until we have mixed the chemicals.
We have been carrying out both hiplanting and transplanting simultaneously. Transplanting rice from nursery to field that has now become swampy and all covered in water While planting dried rice grains directly into the the upland fields where there is no water.

Learning about what chemicals to use and how to mix the chemicals accurately will determine how well we are able to keep the weeds at bay so that our rice can produce properly.
Most chemicals have the mixing procedure and the right concentration of chemicals written on the body.
Once this is procedure is missed you may have to spend more more spraying the farm multiple times before planting.

For chemicals to be effective they need to sprayed minimum 4hrs before any rains or if there are signs of downpours, the work can be postponed to a latter day.
Planting of rice can hence be carried out on this field after two weeks of spaying chemicals.
No need to remove any of the grasses debris as seen above for this will rotten to become manure for the growing rice.

The field is green and such is a joy to every farmer.
