Weeding is an important control method that involves the removal of unwanted plants from the farm land. The removal of weeds is useful because these unwanted plants compete with the crop for space, water and nutrients. It should be done in an early crop stage, mostly during tilling. It can be done manually, using tools like khurpi, or can be done using seed drills. Weedicides can also be used, but its use should be restricted as they are synthetic and poisonous.
