Explanation:

Generally, weeds are eradicated with the help of hoe, khurpi etc. However, nowadays because of increasing cost of labour and also due to its non-availability, a number of chemical weedicides are used for this purpose. The most common and effective weedicide to kill all the broad-leaved weeds in wheat field is 2,4-D. Its optimum quantity is mixed in about 400 to 600 litres of water for spraying in an area of one hectare. The amount of water may, however, vary according to the type of sprayer.
