Bayer Momiji herbicide is a selective pre-emergent herbicide used for weed control in wheat, maize, and soybean. This herbicide offers a systemic mode of action that works by disturbing fatty acid formation needed for weed growth. Bayer Momiji herbicide gives long residual activity, helps keep the field cleaner during early crop growth, and reduces extra post-emergence weeding pressure.
Key Features and Benefits of Bayer Momiji:
Pre-Emergent Weed Control: Bayer Momiji herbicide works before weeds become established, helping stop early weed flushes in the field.
Long Residual Action: Bayer Momiji herbicide stays active in the upper soil layer for a longer period, helping control new weed germination.
Broad Spectrum: The Momiji herbicide controls selected grassy and broadleaf weeds in wheat, maize, and soybean.
Resistance Management: Momiji herbicide provides a different mode of action, making it tough for the weeds to develop any resistance.
Low-Dose WG Formulation: Bayer Momiji herbicide is used at a low gram dose, and the water-dispersible granule formulation mixes easily when stirred properly.
Momiji Herbicide Uses:
Grass Weeds: Phalaris minor, jungle rice, cockspur grass, Indian goosegrass.
Broadleaf Weeds: Gale of the wind, slender amaranth, false amaranth, carpet weed.
Maize Weeds: Echinochloa crusgalli, Eleusine indica, Phyllanthus niruri.
Soybean Weeds: Echinochloa colonum, Celosia argentia, Trianthema portulacastrum, Amaranthus viridis, Digera arvensis.
Early Weed Flushes: Small germinating weeds before they strongly compete with the crop.
Bayer Momiji herbicide Dose:
Use Bayer Momiji herbicide as a pre-emergent soil spray. Momiji Herbicide Dose Per Litre is around 0.3 to 0.4 g per litre, depending on the water volume used for one acre. For practical field use, Momiji herbicide is generally used at 60 g per acre with 150 to 200 litres of clean water. Bayer Momiji herbicide should be sprayed uniformly on the soil surface within the recommended crop stage.
Crop | Target Weed | Dose per acre | Application Method | PHI |
Wheat | Phalaris minor | 60 gm | Pre-emergent spray within 0 to 3 days after sowing | 131 days |
Maize | Echinochloa crusgalli, Eleusine indica, Phyllanthus niruri | 60 gm | Pre-emergent soil spray within 0 to 3 days after sowing | 103 days |
Soybean | Echinochloa colonum, Celosia argentia, Trianthema portulacastrum, Amaranthus viridis, Digera arvensis | 60 gm | Pre-plant or early soil application with uniform coverage | 94 days |
How to Use Bayer Momiji:
Measure the required quantity of Bayer Momiji herbicide as per the crop area.
Fill the spray tank halfway with clean water.
Add the measured product into a small amount of water first.
Mix Bayer Momiji herbicide properly until the granules disperse evenly.
Pour the prepared mixture into the spray tank.
Add the remaining water and keep the solution well agitated.
Spray Bayer Momiji herbicide uniformly on a fine and clod-free soil surface.
Apply Momiji herbicide within 0 to 3 days after sowing for wheat and maize.
For soybean, apply Bayer Momiji herbicide as a pre-plant or early soil application as per field need.
Use a flat fan or flat pan nozzle for even ground coverage.
Do not apply the herbicide directly on top of emerged crops.
Do not spray Bayer Momiji herbicide during strong wind, heavy rain, or very dry soil conditions.
Best Time to Apply:
Apply Bayer Momiji herbicide soon after sowing and before weeds emerge. The best window is usually 0 to 3 days after sowing in wheat and maize, while soybean should be treated before planting or as directed for soil application. The formulation performs better on a well-prepared, moist, and clod-free seedbed. Morning or evening application is better for uniform spray and lower drift.
Frequency of Application and Re-Entry Period:
Frequency of Application: One proper Bayer Momiji herbicide application is generally enough for early-season weed control.
Re-Entry Period: Do not enter the treated field for at least 24 hours after application without proper protective gear.
Compatibility: Do not mix Bayer Momiji herbicide blindly with other herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, fertilizers, or growth products. Always perform a jar test first.
Field Condition: The product needs good seedbed preparation and soil moisture for better weed control.
Resistance Care: Use Bayer Momiji herbicide in rotation with other weed management methods to reduce resistance pressure.
Safety Precautions and Handling:
Read the Bayer Momiji herbicide label carefully before use.
Wear gloves, mask, goggles, long sleeves, and protective footwear during mixing and spraying.
Do not eat, drink, smoke, or chew anything while applying Momiji herbicide.
Avoid contact of Bayer Momiji herbicide with skin, eyes, and mouth.
Do not inhale spray mist while using the product in the field.
Do not apply the herbicide directly on top of crops.
