✓ Allow continuous use of low-cost glyphosate to control weed at less than half the previous cost per hectare [one application instead of twice] per season and at 50% dose. |
✓ Improved glyphosate’s control performance and halved the application frequency.
✓ The fungicide dosage was reduced by 50% from the label’s dosage.|
✓ Productivity per hectare with OCC was 6,743.97 kgs at 50% and 6,966,62 kgs at 65% dose of fungicides. |
✓ A 100% full-label dosage of fungicides only without OCC was at 6,562.50 kgs.
✓ Input cost per hectare reduced from €36 to €24.13, a 32.9% reduction.|
✓ Herbicide dosage was reduced by 67% from the label’s recommendation.|
✓ Marginal improvement in productivity.
✓ Extended control period from 21 days to 42 days at 50% dose.|✓ Improved glyphosate’s performance and halved the application
frequency.
✓ Control at half-dose of glyphosate outperforms full-dose according to the EWRC grading scale. |✓ Control at half-dose metribuzin 480 plus mesotrione 480 outperforms full-dose according to the EWRC grading scale.
