Weed Control
The use of selective herbicides has a great scope in eliminating crop-weed competition over a long spell of time and help in increasing the cane yield. Generally, application of single herbicide may not be effective in controlling weeds in sugarcane because of a great diversity in weed flora and the longer duration required to suppress the weeds which come in several flushes. Pre-emergence application of atrazine @ 1.5-2.0 kg/ha or metribuzine @ 1.0 kg/ha followed by 2, 4-D @ 0.75-1.0 kg/ha as post emergence has been found quite effective for broad spectrum weed control in sugarcane.
