Weed Management

Description:

Digitaria sanguinalis, Eleusine indica, Dactyloctenium aegyptium, Tridax procumbens, Celosia argentia, Portulaca oleracea, Physalis minima, Trianthema portulacastrum, Cyperus rotundus.

Management:

Pre-sowing: Fluchloralin at 2.0 l/ha may be applied and incorporated. Pre-emergence: Fluchloralin 2.0 l/ha applied through flat fan nozzle with 900 litres of water/ha followed by irrigation. After 35-40 days one hand weeding may be given. Pre-emergence application of metolachlor (2.0 l/ha) plus one hand weeding on 30 days after sowing is more profitable. In case no herbicide is applied two hand hoeing and weeding are given 20th and 40th day after sowing.
