Weed Control

The field should be kept clean by periodical weeding at monthly intervals. Manual weeding is generally practiced. Hoeing between plants at regular intervals is helpful in loosening the soil and uprooting weeds. Control of weeds by using chemicals is also found effective. Application of Alachlor @2.0kg/ha; Pendimenthalin @1.25kg/ha or Metachlor @2.0kg/ha significantly reduced the weed population.
