Shahjahanpur: Weeds are a big problem for any crop. Weeds compete with the main crop plants and if not controlled at the right time, they can lead to decline in production. Gilli Danda is a main weed in wheat crop, which causes huge damage to the crop. Gilli Danda is also called ‘uncle of wheat’. If Gilli Danda is not prevented, production may decline by up to 30 percent. To prevent Gilli Danda, farmers also spray weedicide at the time of sowing, but those farmers who are not able to spray at that time can spray it after irrigation to prevent it.
Giving information, agriculture expert Narveer Singh said that it is very important to control weeds, otherwise they will compete with the wheat crop and will take away a large part of the nutrition provided to the main crop. Due to which the growth of wheat plants will be affected and its direct impact will be seen on the production. Not only this, the quality of the produce can also deteriorate. In such a situation, farmers should spray weedicide 10 to 12 days after irrigation. Spray at a time when there is no fog and it is sunny.
how to spray
If you have also given the first irrigation to the wheat crop and Gilli Danda plants are visible in the crop, then prevent it in time. If 4 to 5 leaves are visible in the stem then spray weedicide. Spraying should be done 10 to 12 days after the first irrigation when there is slight moisture in the field. Farmers should spray Pinoxaden 5.1% EC. For spraying, farmers should make a solution by adding 400 ml Pinoxaden 5.1% EC in 120 to 130 liters of water. And spray it sparingly in the entire field. After spraying it, the growth of Gilli Danda plants will gradually stop and they will dry up and die.
