Recommended dose of herbicides should be applied. Thin film of water should be kept in the field before the chemical application. Irrigations and draining the water should not be done upto 3 - 6 days in chemically treated plots. Herbicides should be applied at the recommended time only. Avoid spraying in severe sun or when the soil is dry for getting better results. Sprayers and sprayer parts should be thoroughly washed after using the herbicides, if the same equipment is intended for spraying the pesticides. Specific nozzles recommended for herbicides only have to be used. Better use high volume sprayers under low pressure to avoid drift and carry over of the particles in the event of using herbicides in the standing crop. Don't mix two herbicides that are incompatable, consult weed specialist in this aspect. Containers should be kept out off reach to children. Herbicides should be transported in tightly closed containers. They should be kept away from food and feed stuff in the store. The herbicide contamination with seed, fertilizer, fungicide and insecticide  should be avoided. Used containers should be discarded and burried. Inhalation of spray mist, contact with skin or eyes or clothing should be avoided. Never blow the clogged - nozzles with mouth.
