If weeds are not controlled at the right time in the vegetable crop, it badly affects the yield and quality of vegetables. Weeds not only reduce the yield but also damage the quality of the seeds if mixed with vegetable seeds, which affects their value. In most vegetable crops, it is very important to protect from the outbreak of weeds in the initial stage, because the damage done at this time affects both the growth and production of the crop.
Weed Management:
-
Use weed-free pure and certified seed/plant while sowing the crop.
-
Use only fully rotten cow dung and compost manure, otherwise, the maximum amount of weed seeds are likely to come into the field only from this.
-
Clean the soil attached to agricultural machinery before using it from one field to another.
-
Keep the nursery site weed-free.
-
Keep the bunds, water sources and drains around the field weed-free.
