Easy Weed Control

Best and cheapest methods to control your weeds

There is a lot of pride involved in farming, pride in how you care for your animals and your land. When weeds begin to grow and add to the long list of activities, this pride can cause major headaches.

You have to develop strategies to regulate and control weed growth because they are so unwelcome. You can lessen the mental strain of dealing with weeds by learning how to manage and control them.

Why to control weed growth?

Because they compete with nearby plants for nutrients, soil, water, and space, weeds restrict the growth of those plants. Some weeds even completely destroy the immature plant sections of smaller or younger plants.

In addition to harming the nearby plants, weeds can also cause extra bother for the entire farm. One reason is that some weeds block drainage pipes, and others, if not controlled, can interfere with the operation of farm equipment used for cultivation.

In reality, weeds can make farming operations require more manual labour.

Top methods to control your weeds

Mowing and Cutting

Cutting and mowing can slow down seed generation and control the growth of weeds. Particularly if the project is finished before the weeds mature and produce seeds. However, not all plants fall under this category.

When cut, some weed species re-sprout copiously and continually, hastening the plant’s ability to set seed and blossom. Mowing is a good way to get rid of this weed, especially when just 2 to 5 percent of it is in flowering.

This particular weed can, however, swiftly resprout if it is cut sooner.

Weed Pulling

There are two different types of weed removal techniques: manual pulling and tool pulling. Because it is simpler to plan and carry out, hand pulling is frequently employed to manage weeds in small areas.

You just need to get rid of the roots without disturbing the soil too much. In areas where herbicide application is not possible, this type of pulling is beneficial. In the meantime, tools can be used to pull out the root by properly grasping the stem and applying the required force.

Stabbing

Weeds can have their carbohydrate storage system destroyed by stabbing them, which causes them to hunger and eventually weaken or die. But it also depends on the species. At the base of the stem, beneath the soil, lie the organs that house this glucose storage system.

Mulching

Another technique that can be used in relatively limited spaces is mulching. It can, however, also slow or stop the growth of the nearby plants. Additionally, it is unable to control some perennial weeds, particularly those whose food reserves are unaffected by mulching.

Girdling

You girdle the trunk by either cutting or chipping a few centimeters of the bark away. When a cut is made deep enough, the vascular cambium, which transports and stores the tree’s carbohydrates, is destroyed, killing the tree.

This method kills the intended weed exclusively and needs considerably less work than cutting and mowing.

Tilling

In order to prevent weeds from growing in agricultural crops, the soil is frequently turned over or tilled. This technique is typically used in locations where the soils have previously been substantially disturbed. Tilling is best carried out when the ground is still dry and is best finished before weed seeds sprout.

Soil Solarization

The process of “soil solarization” involves raising the soil’s temperature until the weeds are killed. By eliminating undesired plants without the use of chemicals, soil solarization helps liberate nutrients that are held in the soil.

Soil solarization involves covering the earth, typically with black plastic, to absorb solar energy.

Flooding

Fortunately, some pastures are situated in areas where the water level, a river system, or a wetland can be changed. Flooding, another weed control technique, is an option in this case.

Some weed species, however, have underground storage organs or vegetative buds that allow them to endure waterlogged circumstances for weeks or even months.
