Weed management is necessary in gram crop

23/11/2021 Monday September 25th, 2023

Many types of weeds like Bathua, Khartua, Morva, Pyaji, Motha, Dub etc. grow in the gram crop.
These weeds affect the yield by competing with the crop plants for nutrients, moisture, space and light. Apart from this, weeds also cause many diseases and pests in the crop, which also affect the quality of the seed.
Timely control is very important to prevent the damage caused by weeds. Two hoeing is sufficient in gram crop. First, weeding should be done after 20-25 days of sowing and second after 50-55 days.
