There is nothing anyone can do for you as you already poisoned the farm by ya carelessness |

They clearly sold you a Herbicide packaged as an insect repellant. The only remedy is to removed the contaminated ones, and salvage what you can. |

Please do not eat nor sell... It's harmful to human health. |

Probably the spraying machine was first used to spray a herbicide and was not properly cleaned or flushed before using it to spray an insecticide on crops. It will definitely kill them because traces of the herbicide are still there. I've had this experience. Also, heavy dose of the insecticide can block the chloroplasts in the plant there by preventing the leaves from undergoing photosynthesis. The leaves will turn pale and start to wither. So one should be careful on the use of these chemicals in the farm. |

The chemical you used is too much! Increase water during irrigation. 1 Like |

As a farmer why on earth will you spray chemicals on cash crops? Wat were you trying to achieve? Kill the weeds? Or what ? I don’t understand. 2 Likes |

janedonez:It's likely the spraying machine you used contains leftover of herbicide inside and you didn't rinse it properly before use. This has happened to my friend before. |
Re: Help Nairalanders, My Farm Is Going Down by janedonez(m): 1:26pm On Jan 10 |
waleolaniyan:The mixing ratio was not the issue, I even under mixed the chemical with the Water, I was even thought the Chemical won't be effective only for that disaster to occurs. Really lost heavy Money that I borrowed to support the farm work |
Re: Help Nairalanders, My Farm Is Going Down by janedonez(m): 1:28pm On Jan 10 |
AntiTerrorist:Herbicide has never been used in that Spraying Machine, at least in the Period of 3Months when I was handling the farm with full dedication. |

opera1:Maybe it was not diluted well. |
Re: Help Nairalanders, My Farm Is Going Down by janedonez(m): 1:32pm On Jan 10 |
AntiTerrorist:Not so, that Sprayer was totally free from any other usage |
Re: Help Nairalanders, My Farm Is Going Down by hiwebstuff: 1:32pm On Jan 10 |
You may have used the same Knapsack spraying machine used for herbicide to spray the insecticide without thoroughly washing off the herbicide. |

Re: Help Nairalanders, My Farm Is Going Down by Agricmoney(m): 1:37pm On Jan 10 |
wow sometimes we are the problems to ourselves. That's a banned chemical you went ahead to use, knowing fully well its adverse effects on the human system in the long run. We should be careful on the agro products we consume because many have darkened their hearts in a bid to maximize profits, sold out agro products which are harmful to the human body.THATS WHY WE NOW ASK FARMERS TO GO INTO ORGANIC FARMING TO CURTAIL ALL THIS EVIL DEEDS. Anyway, Agriculture is life. 1 Like |

Next time spray little portion of the farm. If it turns out well you can then spray the rest. 3 Likes |
