Weeds in direct seeded rice and their sustainable management through non-chemical approach: A review
Author(s): Himanshu Verma and SP Singh
Abstract: Weed infestation in direct seeded rice remains the single largest constraint limiting their productivity. A direct seeded rice crop generally lacks a “head start†over weeds due to dry tillage, absence of flooding and alternate wetting & drying conditions making it particularly vulnerable to weed competition during early period of crop growth therefore a key to success of direct-seeded rice is efficient weed control techniques that are economically and ecologically viable. Chemical weed management, the most popular method of weed control in direct seeded rice due to its feasibility and applicability is driving the ecosystems towards environmental pollution therefore non-chemical methods of weed control are also in use not only to increase yield and productivity but to improve soil health with sustainability also.
