Wheat: Weeds cut yield by 50%. Timely spray (30-35 days) boosts production.
- •Weeds are a major threat to wheat farming, potentially reducing yield by up to 50%.
- •The optimal time for herbicide application in wheat fields is 30-35 days after sowing.
- •Recommended herbicides include Clobbenfarm 15% and Metsulfuron 1% (Vesta) at 400g/hectare.
- •Spraying too early (20-25 days) or too late (after 40 days) can be ineffective or harmful to the crop.
- •Timely weed control can boost wheat production by 20-30% by ensuring proper nutrient absorption.
Why It Matters: Timely weed control is vital for farmers to maximize wheat yield and avoid major losses.
