How to identify weeds, Know what kind of damage it causes to crops
-
The production of any crop is greatly affected by the outbreak of weeds, pests and diseases, in which maximum 35 to 70 percent loss is due to weeds only. Weeds compete with the crop for natural resources such as light, space, water, air as well as nutrients, causing a huge reduction in yield.

-
Annual weed: The leaves of this family of weeds are long and the stem is solid with three edges. Tubers are found in the roots, which help in collecting food and giving birth to new plants such as doob, motha (Cyperus rotundus, Cyperus species) etc.
-
The crop yield is greatly affected due to the weeds, the nutrients given to the crop are also absorbed by the weeds. Infestations of the weeds cause more damage to the crop. Generally, weeds use up to 47% of phosphorus, 50% of potash, 39% of calcium and 34% of magnesium available to crops. Due to which the yield of the crop decreases. Due to these weeds, the outbreak of fungal diseases and pests on the crop is also very high.
