Benefits

- Higher Yield Potential: By effectively managing weed competition, Facet helps in achieving better crop yields.
- Reduced Weed Pressure: Regular use helps in maintaining lower weed populations in the long term.
Application Guidelines
- Apply 400 ml of Facet per acre using a calibrated sprayer.
- Ensure uniform coverage by adjusting the spray volume according to the crop stage and weed density.
- For best results, apply when weeds are actively growing and in early stages of development
