Wheat Weed Control Fails? Experts Reveal Key Mistakes & Solutions for Farmers

• Weeds can reduce wheat yield by 30-40%, making control crucial after the first irrigation.
• Expensive weedicides often fail in Shahjahanpur due to farmers using dirty canal or pond water for mixing, neutralizing their effect.
• Dr. N.C. Tripathi advises spraying 35-40 days post-first irrigation using only clean water and precise chemical quantities.
• Avoid spraying during dew or evening; use a flat fan or flood jet nozzle on slightly moist soil for best results.
• Choose specific chemicals like Sulfosulfuron for broad/narrow-leaf weeds or Clodinafop-propargyl for Gulli Danda (Phalaris minor).

Why It Matters: Effective wheat weed control requires clean water, correct timing, proper technique, and specific chemicals.
