Questions to ask
To confirm phytotoxicity, we suggest you ask yourself at least the following questions:
- Was the previous crop weeded with residual herbicides ?
- Have herbicide treatments been carried out near your crop ?
- Did you rinse your treatment equipment wel ?
- Do you take good care of your spraying equipment (cleaning, calibration) ?
- Did you use the right product, at the right dose ?
- Did you follow the recommendations for use indicated on the packaging ?
- Have you mixed incompatible products or too many products together ?
- Did the applications take place under good conditions, particularly wind and temperature ?
- Has manure with straw been brought into the crop ?
- Are you sure of the quality of the irrigation water, could it not have been polluted by a herbicide in particular ?
