Weeding is the process of removal of weeds (unwanted plants) that grow along with the crops.
Removal of weed is necessary as they compete with the main crops for nutrients, sunlight and water.
Weeding should be done in an early crop stage, mostly during ploughing.
Weeding can be done manually or can be done using seed drill and weed harrow etc.
Weedicides can also be used, but their use should be restricted as they are synthetic and poisonous.
Weed harrow uses tractor for weed removal. Thus, it saves time and labour.
Leveller is used for the leveling the soil so that water and nutrients to reach every part of the land.
