Weed management is necessary in gram crop

  • 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.

  • If labourers are not available, spray Pendimethalin 38.7% EC 700 ml per acre in the field within 1-3 days after sowing. Then do one hoeing after 20-25 days of sowing. In this way, the damage caused by weeds in the gram crop can be prevented.

  • Some seeds do not grow after 10 days of sowing cotton in the field and some plants die after growing.
  • This can happen due to many reasons such as rotting of seeds, sowing the seeds in more depth, eating of seeds by any insect or not getting enough moisture, etc.
  • In these empty places, there is a direct effect on production if the plant does not grow, so seeds should be sown again at these places. This action is called Gap Filling.
  • The distance between the plants in the queues in the cotton field should be the same. The process of filling this space is called Gap Filling.
  • Gap filling keeps the distance between the plants the same. Due to which the production of cotton is good.
  • On the other hand, if more than one seed falls at the same place at the time of sowing, more plants grow at the same place.
  • If these plants are not removed timely, then it directly affects our production.
  • Therefore, the removal of these extra plants is called Thinning. In the cotton crop, Thinning is done 15 days after sowing. So that the plants get the right amount of manure and fertilizer and the plants get proper growth.
