How to Use Bayer Foost Herbicide:

1. Check the field to see the weed size — the 2- to 4-leaf stage of grassy weeds is the right time to spray.

2. Wear gloves and a face mask before opening the Foost bottle.

3. Shake the bottle well and measure the required quantity using a marked cup or syringe.

4. Half-fill the spray tank with clean water and pour in the measured product slowly.

5. Add the remaining water and stir until the solution looks uniform.

6. Use a flat-fan nozzle for herbicide application — never a hollow-cone insecticide nozzle.

7. Spray evenly over the field, without going over the same area twice.

8. Do not spray on windy days to avoid the spray drifting onto nearby broadleaf crops.

Best Time to Apply:

Spray Bayer Foost Herbicide at the early post-emergence stage — when crop and weeds have emerged, and weeds are at the 2- to 4-leaf stage and actively growing. Late afternoon or early evening is the best window, when leaf temperature is cooler and product absorption is stronger. Avoid spraying if rain is expected within 4 to 6 hours.
