WEED MANAGEMENT
-
Select healthy, certified, and weed free seeds
-
Line sowing should be done to facilitate inter-cultural activities.
-
Proper plant populations should be maintained from the beginning to minimize weed competition.
-
Keep field boundary and bunds free from weeds.
-
The crop field should be weed free initially for 3-4 weeks by following timely hoeing and weeding by power hand tiller and/or hand tools at 20 and 35 days after sowing.
-
Mulches such as straw hay, plastic, etc. should be used in between the rows to suppress the weed growth.
