In the targeted district of Baksa weeding of crops was done recently under the project. Weeding is the removal of weeds from the field. It is an effective pre-harvesting method of crop protection and crop production management. Weeds act as competitors of the crop for various resources required for growth like nutrients, light, water, etc. so they have to be removed as they may cause interference and decrease the yield.

Weeds can be controlled in many ways. Weed management includes land preparation, water management, hand weeding, hand hoeing, crop rotation, and herbicides.
