Weed Management

Weed Management 

Mulching:
Heavy rainfall favors severe incidence of diseases and overgrowth of weeds in the chili field of Sikkim. Application of leaf mulches like chilaune, titepati and plastic mulching gives good result for weed control as well as disease control. 

Manual weeding:
It is a common practice for controlling weeds in chilli. Whenever the weeds are noticed in the field it is advisable to remove the weeds from the field. Otherwise it hampers the growth of the crop badly by competeting for nutrient.
