Wheat Weeds? Expert Tips for Quick Control & Better Yield!
- •Wheat crops face issues with narrow-leaf (nutgrass, wild barley) and broad-leaf (carrot grass, lamb's quarters) weeds, making manual removal difficult.
- •Pesticide spraying is recommended when weeds are at the two to three-leaf stage and soil is firm after irrigation.
- •Senior Scientist Vimlesh Kumar Pandey of Krishi Vigyan Kendra Aamas Gaya advises 2,4-D Sodium Salt for broad-leaf weeds and Isoproturon for narrow-leaf weeds; both can be mixed.
- •Spraying leads to weed death within 5-7 days, increased chlorophyll, enhanced photosynthesis, and healthier plants.
- •Benefits include improved production, better grain quality, higher protein content, and good grain size.
Why It Matters: Effective weed control in wheat boosts crop health, yield, and grain quality significantly.
