Grom

When dealing with heavy weed pressure, selecting a non-selective herbicide is a critical decision. "Grom," a glyphosate-based product from Nanjing No.1 Pesticide Factory of Red Sun Group Co., Ltd., is a predictable systemic herbicide that delivers clean results without surprises.

Field performance: Maize and Desiccation

The primary advantage of "Grom" is its versatility. Use it both as a post-emergence herbicide and as a desiccant before harvest. It consistently takes care of both annual and perennial broadleaf weeds, as well as grasses. Since glyphosate travels deep into the root system, the results aren't immediate, but they are permanent: in a couple of weeks, the weeds are completely destroyed.

Practical tips for operators

• Tank mixing: Always adjust the concentration based on the weed type. Trying to save money by cutting dosage on perennials will inevitably fail—stick to the manufacturer's guidelines.
• Environmental factors: As a systemic herbicide, it doesn't perform well under drought or cold stress. The best efficacy occurs when weeds are actively growing, ensuring the product moves effectively through the plant.
• Safety first: With a Category 3 hazard rating, full PPE is mandatory. Since it is non-selective, be extremely careful with wind drift; it will kill anything green it touches.

If you need to clear a field of tough perennials before planting or dry out your crop uniformly before the combine arrives, "Grom" provides excellent value per liter. The secret is simple: get your boom height right and calibrate your application rate to avoid waste.
