Weed-free direct seeded rice boosts yields and saves labor in India!
Direct seeded rice is becoming more popular in India due to labor and water shortages. Weeds are a major issue in this method, affecting crop yield. Simply using herbicides is not enough for effective weed control. To improve weed management, a combination of herbicides and cultural methods should be used. Testing different herbicides can give farmers more options for controlling weeds in direct seeded rice, leading to better crop outcomes.
