Dear friends
I am from Chhindwara, Madhya Pradesh in my field I am obsessed with a weed called Saccharum spontaneum i.e. Kaans I want to know the exact weedicide or any method to remove this weed.
Please help me…
When it is allowed to become established on cultivated land, S. spontaneum may become a very serious weed, sometimes resulting in the abandonment of infested land. It occurs in almost all rainy season crops in India, causing most severe losses in productivity in tea, sugarcane, cotton and sorghum. Poisonous to livestock. S. spontaneum also acts as an alternative host for many insects and diseases of economic importance. These include sugarcane top borer (Scirpophaga excerptalis), Asian corn borer (Ostrinia furnacalis) and the white mite of sugarcane (Schizotetranychus spp.).
We tried Excel Mera 71 (a new 71% WDG formulation of Ammonium Salt and Glyphosate) and got good results. Take all precautions before applying. It is deadly if not properly used.
