Herbicide harshness is the potentially harmful or negative effects that herbicides can cause to crops they are intended to be applied on. Herbicides are an effective tool for growers in controlling and managing weed pressure, but they can also impact crop growth, development, yield, and overall plant health. Herbicide harshness can manifest as direct toxicity, growth inhibition, it can cause nutrient deficiencies, or induced stress, resulting in weakened or damaged crops. Minimizing herbicide harshness is crucial for maintaining crop productivity, protecting crop quality, and ensuring sustainable and effective weed control practices.

 

Stoller’s Bio-Forge Advanced is an in-tank solution to help manage herbicide harshness in your crops. Bio-Forge Advanced should be used in conjunction with herbicide applications for several reasons…

 

  • Stoller’s Bio-Forge Advanced can be used in-tank with most industry herbicides. It is recommended that Bio-Forge Advanced is added last after all other tank-mix partners. Speak with your local Stoller Territory Manager about product compatibility.

    Crop Health and Vigor: Bio-Forge Advanced contains bio-stimulant ingredients that promote plant growth, enhance nutrient uptake, and improve overall crop health. When used alongside herbicides, it can help mitigate the potential negative effects of herbicide application on crops, supporting their resilience and vigor.

 

  • Stress Tolerance: Herbicide application can induce stress in crops. Bio-Forge Advanced contains stress-reducing compounds that help plants better withstand the stress caused by herbicides. By reducing the impact of stress, it can enhance the crop’s ability to recover and maintain productivity.

 

  • Enhanced Herbicide Efficacy: Bio-Forge Advanced has been designed to complement herbicide applications, potentially improving herbicide efficacy. It can enhance herbicide absorption, translocation within the plant, and overall weed control performance. This can result in more effective weed suppression and a higher level of weed control.

 

  • Yield Optimization: By using Bio-Forge Advanced with herbicides, growers may optimize crop yields. The product’s ability to support plant health, reduce stress, and enhance nutrient uptake can contribute to maximizing crop productivity and achieving higher yields.

 

  • Sustainable Farming Practices: Stoller’s Bio-Forge Advanced is formulated with environmentally friendly and sustainable principles in mind. By promoting plant health and reducing the potential negative impacts of herbicide applications, it aligns with sustainable farming practices, aiming to minimize crop damage and overall environmental impact.
