Weeding for paddy

[victorka]

Hello,

I have planted paddy row by row in 7 hectare land.The distance between two rows in 8 inches. The problem I am having is weeding by cono-weeder, because the weeder is of 8 inches dimension and if I use this, there will be damage for the crops.
Please give me solution for weeding through some other weeding device, so that I can save labour cost.

Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Siddhartha.

Hi Siddharth,

Have you tried using a hand rotary weeder?? You can also use herbicides. The post emergent herbicides that can be used are 2,4 D sodium 80% EC(Fernoxone) , Propanil 35%EC( Stam), Triazolopyramidine sulfonamide.
