Giving rauni or pre-sowing watering before seed bed preparation followed by ploughing can control weeds and increase the yield. Progressive farmers use two raunies in case of cotton crop. Mechanical weeding (hoeing, mulching or interculturing) should be preferred over using hazardous weedicides.


Mulching can help in controlling weeds and saving water in vegetable crops and increase the yield Weeds must be controlled within 4¬5 weeks after sowing because late weeding does not pay except waste of time, money and labour. If seeds are set then one year seeding equals to 10 years of weeding.
