Wheat Crop 60 Days Old? Avoid Herbicides, Use Traditional Methods for Better Yield
- •Weeds are a major problem for wheat farmers, absorbing nutrients and reducing yield.
- •Agricultural experts advise against indiscriminate herbicide use on 60-70 day old wheat crops.
- •Herbicides are most effective when the crop is 35-40 days old; later use can damage ears and growth.
- •For 60-70 day old crops, traditional methods like manual weeding and hoeing are recommended.
- •Manual weeding improves soil aeration, prevents chemical side effects, and reduces future weed infestation.
Why It Matters: For 60-70 day old wheat, switch from herbicides to traditional weeding to protect yield and crop health.
