AgFarm’s Jogger Plus: A futuristic crop solution for weeds in tea

Weeds damage a significant amount of crops every year, taking away their essential nutrients. As per a recent report, it was found that weeds damaged one-third of the total yields in tea crops.  AgFarm, an agrochemical start-up that originated in Dubai recently introduced a new herbicide Jogger Plus Glyphosate 71% SG to reduce the loss in tea production in India. 

The herbicide is highly potent against a wide range of weeds such as Acalypha Indica, Ageratum Conyzoides, Cichorium Intybus, Digera Arvensis, Cynodon Dactylon, Cyperus Rotundus, Digitaria Sanguinalis, Eragrostis Spp., Ipomea Digitata, Paspalum Conjugatum, Sida Acuta, among others. 

 Why is weed management essential in crops?

Weed management is a critical part of the whole yielding process for good productivity. By alleviating the weeds, the growers can obtain the maximum output from the harvest. Weeds pose a serious challenge to farmers. The management of weeds becomes a daunting task, especially when the farmers have inadequate information about their elimination. 

In addition to the reduced yields, weeds also degrade the rest of the crops and increase the cost of production. On top of that, it harbors and serves as a host to pests and diseases, leading to reduced land value. Thus, the right amount of herbicide usage is essential for controlling weeds and maintaining the health of the crop. 

How effective is Jogger Plus Glyphosate 71% SG against weeds in tea crops?

The diverse climatic conditions in India lead to the growth of multiple weeds in crops, leading to severe yield losses in tea production. Glyphosate 71%  SG is a widely used herbicide that controls broadleaf weeds, grasses, etc. AgFarm’s Jogger Plus Glyphosate 71%  SG is a non-selective herbicide that provides better control of weeds than the rest in the market.

Agricultural experts advise the use of glyphosate 71% SG in tea crops because it is not only effective in controlling a single variety of weeds but it works on a wide range of weed species, irrespective of their shapes and sizes. Another advantage is that it is cost-effective for the farmers.

What is the recommended dosage of Jogger Plus Glyphosate 71% SG for optimum results?

The recommended dosage of Jogger Plus Glyphosate 71% SG is 100 grams/acre for the best results. In 2021, India exported 195.90 million kg of tea globally. With the right awareness and the prescribed dosage, the export can increase manifold as the country is aiming to achieve 300 million kg of tea this year.
