Spraying chemicals to our guineacorn crop in the farm// spraying chemicals kills stubborn grasses and unwanted plants and turn the death unwanted plants to manure to foster the growth of crops instead of weeding away the unwanted plants.

I took the chemicals, two bottles of Dragon, which is a non-selective for emergent herbicide for agricultural. These days people doesn't longer put more energy and strength in weeding like in those days. Chemicals of different types and varieties are available to ease farming to become simple and easy for farmers. ![IMG_20250913_104659_525.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/emmy02/23zbPpzo9NKAsxBnt2eL6GsJF2yswhGysRjJ6jLXh6aQJUreXoA4c5aRKBx6iBgZNnW9u.jpg) ![IMG_20250913_104617_722.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/emmy02/23yThGrEiFHbrbAoxxxJ4agiMx2VLLi4JrsJscPZR3aaBUeBnzt6hi1tJHvuJtAErL3Py.jpg) As long as you could afford to buy the chemicals, get your sprayer ready and with availability of water you can spray your farm and within short or few hours you are done for the day. But in those days where chemicals aren't available, farmers will weed their farming crops with their hands and small hoes. Putting much efforts and energy to weeding is something a lot of farmer doesn't want to do. Weeding farm is one of the hardest thing I don't like about farming system. Weeding takes time, you will put more energy to weeding your crops than spraying chemicals on it. ![IMG_20250913_104414_194.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/emmy02/241tX8sJBeCTzQiemkvabe1o2kc2JB6HYepT8JxTM98MfpGyz5pWJ7uLW5s2MFQwHatwc.jpg) ![IMG_20250913_104323_115.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/emmy02/23wWyKkdM7uaj6iCjjVVNUDQz9a5fmhUeMYqTauc9DLBmQa7hKrZxypu6aGduTgfpcKfk.jpg) But with the coming of applications of chemicals , it's ease farmers a lot of stress in the farming systems. Farmer can farm a large portion of farmland and plant any varieties of farm crops you want to plant and spray chemical all through the farm to kill grass and also kill insects and other pest invading your farm crops. Spraying chemicals doesn't only kill grass and unwanted plants, but also kills and destroy insects, pest and even some broad leave weeds in the farm. ![IMG_20250913_104617_722.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/emmy02/23yThGrEiFHbrbAoxxxJ4agiMx2VLLi4JrsJscPZR3aaBUeBnzt6hi1tJHvuJtAErL3Py.jpg) ![IMG_20250913_104156_554.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/emmy02/23vi1jTKbPucJSV4gdTe7xHXMBCjr4TjgPE1UQi5hyCvnL4D7oRvJA3BkjrswLuVFjeRd.jpg) The chemicals also have the ability to destroy grasses and also provide fertilizer or nutrients to the soil after destroying those grasses and decaying them and turning them into manures and nutrients in the farm. Though during applications of this chemicals they are some things or principles a farmer needs to put into consideration such as wearing of nose mask, wearing of long rubber shoes, putting on of hand gloves and even wearing of eyes goggles to avoid inhaling of the chemicals which can cause problem to your lungs or heart. ![IMG_20250913_104028_577.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/emmy02/23wgPzp9maLp7eAAMwryh4LLRiyeSqaTWs6Gjfu7YiKtuujjsNXQCWxjCSbB4UfRQ7FmM.jpg) ![IMG_20250913_104116_179.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/emmy02/23xVM9WRgWt37Msk7rAZWoLoBc1csiLtjhZA5r9MgNk8XjS4MpcTERuC5FMTBjeridbBT.jpg) As you can see I didn't wear the eyes goggles, long rubber shoes and hand gloves because I didn't have them. But I have worn my nose mask to cover my nose properly in oder not to inhale the chemicals during praying it due to air circulation. I know the air is polluted with so many things in the atmosphere. We inhaled a lot of hazardous and dangerous chemicals in the air as a result of air pollution unknowingly but God has been saving us and will always save us. ![IMG_20250913_104143_605.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/emmy02/23ywqQW1PmaCmRQGpJSQ4UHWFKrW9QoDTPp5QTuVYWH6R5gXjvDwzqWAkN76GzFNstY91.jpg) ![IMG_20250913_104139_073.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/emmy02/242DJaue8srCvuUaKJpBiiL8kzFfvs9EsXfw24RB2sHvJYek7ivwrNkbjFF2kx28pSiij.jpg) The farm is very big and large. We have planted guineacorn crop all over the farmland.Possibly in few two or three months coming the guineacorn crop will be ready for harvesting. ![IMG_20250913_104251_982.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/emmy02/23x19TzUkcSTSHEJpcjTjXmvZwiAiLktx5dAXgFQfquXsi62RpvdjbWHPUHTFsiM1ysXG.jpg) And one important thing to know during applications of this chemicals, you must lower your sprayer down to spray under the crops, not at the top the crops or else you will destroy or damage your crops. Lower the mouth or edge of your sprayer and spray it slowly and keeps forward and sideways and with your other hand you will keep pumping the sprayer hand to keep bushing out the water. ![IMG_20250913_103957_321.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/emmy02/23wqnnrRccPu7xBNwiiy3Ccfag2jifyTXAKhaVGMD5ejp3jLXE6tdD5fPx4Z6Wdd5cLkH.jpg) ![IMG_20250913_104033_785.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/emmy02/23xKxrhJVfwxyzWHFrrpMnEYojXmzNT8NtVTsNT93fN9TQqg9Ce8wyEysFiyDjJmgBmZ8.jpg) What's needed when spraying chemicals are good or clean water, and the chemicals you want to apply, depending on the kind of crops you want to apply the chemicals, and with your spraying machine. Each crops has it different chemicals,don't mistake chemicals that's meant for rice farm and spray it on guineacorn, or spray chemical that's meant for beans and spray on tomatoes. If you does such it won't work well and you won't have a good outcome. Know each chemicals depending on which crops you want to apply on it. ![IMG_20250913_103957_321.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/emmy02/23wqnnrRccPu7xBNwiiy3Ccfag2jifyTXAKhaVGMD5ejp3jLXE6tdD5fPx4Z6Wdd5cLkH.jpg) ![IMG_20250913_104655_424.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/emmy02/23yd3TXzGSUbFkkY96zYccJrfPUT1pVqTrSoFahUAftnmswp76SphH4zz2VXDdRjcsVF6.jpg) And lastly, this small container we use it to measure the amount of chemical per sprayer. The amount of chemical per sprayer is very important and vital while spraying a crop in the farm. Knowing your measurements and measuring it adequately is something you need to know. For spraying guineacorn crop we measure the chemical to full this particular small container you are seeing here and pour it into the spraying machine and mix with water very well. ![IMG_20250913_104325_693.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/emmy02/23xKviLcyiYx2mHH7ZEsxHbdPm5wvMGUMSfWKK4tD9LHbsNUSoSqBkW1tV7yPfWaJfnuu.jpg) As a good farmer, knowing every crops has it own chemicals and with the right applications of such chemicals, and with the appropriate application of principle will do you good a lot.
