WEED CONTRO

Weeds grow luxuriantly in papaya fields and exhaust most of the applied nutrients. In the beginning, they also compete for light, air and water, resulting in poor fruiting. Deep hoeing is recommended during first year to check wed growth. Hoeing should not be done in rainy season or after fruiting since its plants are shallow-rooted. Overgrowth of weeds also causes water logging condition and makes the plants vulnerable to root-rot and foot-rot in rainy season. Therefore weeding should be regularly done, especially around the plants. Application of fluchoralin or alachlorin or butachlorine (-2.0g/ha) as pre-emergence 2 months transplanting can control all weeds for 4 months. If anybody  go for plastic mulching on the papaya field then  cost of  herbicide, weedicide  and also cost of labour during weeding operation  will be minimized & also get better earning by adopting this technique.
