Abstract:Family farming practices are subject to modification as new technologies become available. The act of weeding to remove weeds can require a significant investment of time from the farmer and thus has been supplanted by the use of herbicides. Such practices can cause health issues for the farmer and disrupt the soil's biological community, which could ultimately lead to a reduction in soil fertility over time. The present study aimed to evaluate the consequences of applying different concentrations of the herbi… Show more
