Wheat Weeds Threaten Yields in Shahjahanpur: Act Fast After First Irrigation!

• Weeds like Phalaris minor, Bathua, and Makoy emerge after first wheat irrigation in Shahjahanpur, absorbing nutrients and hindering growth.
• Agricultural experts warn of significant yield drop if weeds are not managed within 35-40 days of irrigation.
• Dr. N.C. Tripathi advises specific herbicides: Sulfosulfuron 75 WG + Metsulfuron Methyl 20% for mixed weeds, Clodinafop Propargyl 15% WP for Phalaris minor.
• Spray herbicides on clear, sunny days after dew dries, using 120-150 liters of water per acre for optimal effectiveness.
• Delayed herbicide application beyond 35-40 days can harm wheat plants, emphasizing the need for timely, scientific methods.

Why It Matters: Timely herbicide application within 35-40 days post-irrigation is crucial for wheat yield protection.
