Control measures of weeds of jute
Type Cultural Mechanical Chemical
Grassy weeds I.a)Manual, b) Mulching by rice or wheat straw @ 7.5 to 10 t/ha, c) Smothering by red amaranth (10-30 kg seed/ha), mung (1:1, cv. Pant mung 5, Pant mung 4, Samratetc), d) Mixed cropping with short duration vegetable (summer radish, red amaranth, carrot etc) I.Nail weeder with scrapper and tyne assembly. It can be operated on line as well as broadcast jute from 4 to 5 days onwards after sowing. Pre-emergence: a) Butachlor 50 EC or Butachlor 5G @ 1-1.5 kg/ha (eg., Machete, Dhanuchlor, Kitchloretc @ 3-5 ml/l with 600 lit water/ha)
II.Soil solarisation by clear polythene for 30 days on moist soil before sowing of jute II.Wheel hoe b) Pretilachlor 50 EC @ 0.8-0.9 kg/ha (eg., Refit, Jolt etc, @ 2.5 3 ml/l with 600 lit water/ha)
III.Scrappers Post-emergence A. Selective herbicide: a) Quizalofop ethyl 5 EC () @ 30, 45 and 60-75 g/ha at 10, 15 and 25 Days after emergence, respectively (eg.,Targa super@ 1, 1.5 or 2.0-3 ml/l with600 lit of water/ha).
Type Cultural Mechanical Chemical
Broad leaved weeds I.Manual, mulching by rice or wheat straw @ 7.5 to 10 t/ha, smothering by red amaranth (10-30 kg seed/ha),mung(1:1, cv. Pant mung 5, Pant mung 4, Samratetc)mixed cropping with short duration vegetable (summer radish, red amaranth, carrot etc) I.Nail weeder with scrapper and tyne assembly. It can be operated on line as well as broadcast jute from 4 to 5 days onwards after sowing. Pre-emergence: Butachlor 50 EC or Butachlor 5G @ 1-1.5 kg/ha (eg., Machete, Dhanuchlor, Kitchloretc)
There is no control measure to suggest II.Wheel hoe Pretilachlor 50 EC @ 0.8-0.9 kg/ha (eg., Refit, Jolt etc)
III.Scrappers Post emergence non-Selective herbicide: Apply Glyphosate @ 1.64 kg SL/ha using CRIJAF herbicide applicator on established weedsat 15-20 days after sowing of jute (eg., Roundup @ 5 ml/ha with 800 lit of water/ha).
Type Cultural Mechanical Chemical
Sedges (Motha) I.Manual, mulching by rice or wheat straw @ 7.5 to 10 t/ha, smothering by red amaranth (10-30 kg seed/ha), mixed cropping with short duration vegetable (summer radish, red amaranth, carrot etc) I.Nail weeder with scrapper and tyne assembly. It can be operated on line as well as broadcast jute from 4 to 5 days onwards after sowing. Pre-emergence:
There is no control measure to suggest II.Wheel hoe
III.Scrappers Post-emergence non-Selective herbicide on standing jute field: Apply Glyphosate @ 1.64 kg SL/ha using CRIJAF herbicide applicator on established weeds 15-20 days after sowing of jute (eg., Roundup @ 5 ml/ha with 800 lit of water/ha).
