Coffee; beneficial and harmful effects of chemical weed control
Results of two trials, one on the use of weedicides in coffee and another to fing out the possible phytotoxic effects of weedicides on coffee are reported. Themical weed control with Gramoxone (paraquat) or Gramoxone + Simazine was better than manual control as it was cheaper and gave higher yield without affecting cup quality. There was a saving of 80 in labour component of the cost and this labour could be used for important operations during the pre-and post-monsoon periods. Phytotoxicity that may result from improper use of weedicides has been described and method of solving other problems of resistant weeds and soil capping suggested
