dc.description.abstract | Till recently, weed management in crop lands in India was almost exclusively a manual farm operation, involving women and child labour. However, since a few decades, our farmers are facing problems in weed management due to spread of obnoxious weeds and also due to higher manual labour costs. Herbicides have taken the responsibility to combat this problem. The use of herbicides for weed control was limited to plantation crops like tea in north-eastern region and some major crops like rice and wheat in the high productivity areas of north-western India. Farmers are realizing the efficiency of herbicides in controlling weeds at low cost. Low-dose high-potency herbicides of various groups with different modes of action and their mixtures are now available for broad-spectrum weed control in all major crops including the food grain crops, horticultural plantations and also non-cropped areas. Herbicide resistance in weeds can also be managed by rotating the herbicides of different modes of action or by applying combination products. The only thing, we need, is judicious use of safer herbicides that may serve our purpose to secure food along with conserving biological diversity. This chapter provides an in-depth perspective on use, regulation, marketing and fate of herbicides in India. | en_US |
