What Weeds Can Dymenox Control?

Dymenox is a commonly used herbicide that is effective against many types of weeds. However, many people are unclear about which weeds Dymenox can control. Let's take a closer look.

What Weeds Can Dymenox Control?

Dymenox is a dinitroaniline herbicide used for soil treatment, and it has a broad spectrum of weed control. It is suitable for crops such as rice, cotton, corn, peanuts, soybeans, sunflowers, potatoes, tobacco, vegetables, sugarcane, bananas, and pineapples. It can control annual grasses and some broadleaf weeds, including:

• Barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli)

• Foxtail (Setaria spp.)

• Crabgrass (Digitaria spp.)

• Goosegrass (Eleusine indica)

• Bluegrass (Poa annua)

• Lambsquarters (Chenopodium album)

• Amaranth (Amaranthus spp.)

• Shepherd's purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris)

• Spurge (Euphorbia spp.)

• Pigweed (Portulaca oleracea)

• Common chickweed (Stellaria media)

• Henbit (Lamium amplexicaule)

How to Use Dymenox?

1. Tobacco

Dymenox can be used to suppress tobacco axillary buds. When 50% of the tobacco plants are in the budding stage, top the plants and apply Dymenox on the same day. Use a 33% Dymenox emulsifiable concentrate at a dilution of 80-100 times, spraying 20-25 milliliters per plant, ensuring the solution flows evenly down the stem to the base.

2. Soybeans and Peanuts

For spring soybeans and peanuts, apply 200-300 milliliters of 33% Dymenox emulsifiable concentrate per acre, diluted with 15-20 kilograms of water. Apply the herbicide to the soil after tillage and then sow the seeds. For summer soybeans and peanuts, apply 150-200 milliliters of 33% Dymenox emulsifiable concentrate per acre, diluted with 15-20 kilograms of water. Spray the soil surface 1-2 days after sowing. Applying too late may cause phytotoxicity.

3. Vegetables

For direct-seeded vegetables such as garlic, ginger, carrots, leeks, onions, and celery, apply 100-150 milliliters of 33% Dymenox emulsifiable concentrate per acre, diluted with 15-20 kilograms of water. Spray the soil surface after sowing and covering the seeds with soil. For transplanted vegetables like peppers, tomatoes, leeks, scallions, onions, cauliflower, cabbage, and eggplants, apply 100-150 milliliters of 33% Dymenox emulsifiable concentrate per acre, diluted with 15-20 kilograms of water. Spray the soil surface 1-2 days before transplanting.

Important Considerations

When using Dymenox, keep the following points in mind:

1. It is best to apply Dymenox before or shortly after sowing or transplanting. Using the herbicide after weeds have emerged may cause phytotoxicity.

2. Sow seeds at a depth of 3-5 centimeters to avoid herbicide damage.

3. Water the soil before applying the herbicide to enhance absorption, and avoid using excessive amounts of the herbicide.

4. Minimize soil disturbance after spraying the herbicide to maintain the integrity of the herbicide layer. Avoid spraying the herbicide on young, tender leaves.

5. Dymenox is highly toxic to fish, so use caution to avoid contamination of water bodies.

The above information provides a detailed guide on the types of weeds Dymenox can control and how to use it effectively. When using Dymenox, ensure you follow the recommended guidelines and take necessary precautions to prevent harm to your crops and the environment.
