Maize, being a widely cultivated crop in India, faces severe competition from weeds during its early growth stages. Effective herbicide use can ensure a weed-free field and help achieve higher productivity. In this guide, we will discuss the most persistent weeds, the best herbicide combination, and the proper application techniques for successful weed control.
In maize farming, both narrow-leaf (grassy) and broadleaf weeds are common. Some of the most problematic weeds include:
Narrow-leaf Weeds:
Makra Grass (Dactyloctenium aegyptium)
Sawa Grass (Echinochloa sp.)
Baru Grass (Sorghum sp.)
Broadleaf Weeds:
Bokhna (Commelina benghalensis)
Badi Dudhi (Euphorbia hirta)
Choti Dudhi (Euphorbia Spp)
