Where applicable
Growth of weeds is a natural phenomenon and it controls erosion of soil.
However it becomes a problem for crops when young, growth of crop is
retarded in competition with the weeds and if growth of weeds is
not reduced the crop is destroyed. Various methods of weeding a crop
field are used namely manual uprooting and cutting frequently, but due to increase in labour cost, weedicides are
applied in selected crops. Sometimes polythene sheets are also applied
for the purpose. However for protection of environment, natural
products with 100% coverage are gradually growing popular.
Why applied
Reduces emergence of weeds significantly. When the plants are grown
enough and out of danger from the weeds the fabrics degrade and become
part of soil. It also controls erosion of soil and
manure by rain, conserves soil moisture and increases growth of plants.
