Weed Control - National Agricultural Advisory Services
- Weeds compete with young oranges.
- Weed before the weeds flower to prevent production of more seeds.
- Do not dig through as this will damage roots and cause root rot disease.
- Ring weed around the plants to get a weed free area for irrigation and application of manure and other fertilizers.
- Keep the fields weed free to avoid fruit and leaf spots.
- In case an herbicide is to be used, spray in the inter rows avoiding drift to the plants.
- In this case, there should be no intercrop.
- Where mulching materials, mulching is encouraged.
