Abstract
In India, the recent times herbicide-based weed management is getting popular due to the lack of labour and the adoption of zero tillage systems. Particularly, the wider-spaced (60 cm row to row) crops like maize. Along with the selection and application of herbicides; the farmers should have a thorough knowledge of how to read the label, use of personal protective equipment, and some of the terminologies that help in the protection of human health, enhance the efficiency of herbicides, and prevent soil and environmental pollutions are very much important. By considering the above points, in this article, we have briefly covered each point of herbicides used in maize. We believe that this article would help farmers, students, and scientists working in the field of weed management.
