Natural Weed Control - Herbicide

The use of a herbicide is very high, the weed is used as food, the herb is used as a medicine, the weed is used to make cosmetics and so on. But if we look at where weed control comes from, it becomes weed when it grows between your main crop In this article we will look at how we can control weeds naturally.

Why a weed should be removed first

Assuming that the main competition for weeds is that there are about 500 to 600 different types of weed seeds per square foot of space. It cannot be said at what time these seeds germinate it depends on the moisture of the soil. Next weeds will compete for everything like water and fertilizer. Weeds also play an important role in the development of pest diseases so it is important to remove weeds first.

Plowing

The first and foremost role in controlling a weed is plowing. For agricultural crops, plowing is better to control weeds which are more prevalent in direct seeding than planting seedlings.

Water

Water also plays a role in controlling weeds. After plowing once, keep the water in your field for two days and then drain it.

Intercropping.

This is especially true for horticultural crops. Horticultural crops have more spacing than other crops so intercropping is better to control weeds and we get extra income.Weeds can be controlled by cultivating densely growing crops. Or you can control radish, fodder crops or oilseed crops as cover crops for any purpose.

Mulching 

Although we use mulch in vegetable crops, we mostly use pandal vegetables, which have more space. Drip irrigation can control weeds to some extent.Can be covered with polythene paper. Or you can cover with straw

Herbicide

First of all what is a natural herbicide? We can say that all those substances that inhibit the growth of the crop that we do not need and burn it or destroy it are herbicides.

All three of these ingredients are essential for natural weed control

1) rock salt

2) Lime

3) Cow dung

It is good for the crop to use all these substances in moderation and it will destroy the crop in excess.

Method of preparation of natural herbicide

Dissolve two and a half to three kilos of rock salt per ten liters and add lime powder. Just mix it with salt water and spray it on the weeds. It will kill the same.

Needs attention

 These natural herbicides can be applied not only to weeds but also to the crops. Care needs to be taken while spraying.
