India loses nearly ₹1,980 crore annually due to weeds, causing significant reductions in crop productivity. Weeds compete with crops for nutrients, water, sunlight, and space, resulting in considerable yield losses. Effective weed management is therefore essential for improving agricultural production. Weed control methods include mechanical, chemical, biological, cultural, and burning practices. Among these, mechanical weeding is economical, environmentally friendly, and suitable for small and fragmented farms.Intercultural operations are important for removing weeds and preventing their growth. Depending on crop and soil conditions, 2-4 weeding operations are generally required. Timely weeding improves crop growth and yield while minimizing plant damage.To address the need for an efficient and low-cost weeding implement, the study entitled "Performance Evaluation of Roller Weeder" was conducted. The roller weeder operated effectively up to a depth of 3.0 cm with a field capacity of 0.0393 ha/h and a power requirement of 0.043 hp. The maximum weeding efficiency achieved was 78.57%, with a performance index of 7116.5. The draft requirement for a 16 cm working width was 4.9 kg.

Breeding Oilseed Crops for Sustainable Production: Opportunities and Constraints
<i> <p>Breeding Oilseed Crops for Sustainable Production: Opportunities and Constraints</i> presents key insights into accelerating the breeding of sustainable and superior varieties. </p> <p>The book explores the genetic engineering/biotechnology that has played a vital role in transforming economically important traits from distant/wild species to cultivated varieties, enhancing the quality and quantity of oil and seed yield production. Integrated nutrient management, efficient water management, and forecasting models for pests diseases outbreaks and integrated pest and pest management have also added new dimensions in breeding for sustainable production. With the rise in demand, the scientific community has responded positively by directing a greater amount of research towards sustainable production both for edible and industrial uses. </p> <p>Covering the latest information on various major world oil crops including rapeseed mustard, sunflower, groundnut, sesame, oilpalm, cotton, linseed/flax, castor and olive, this book brings the latest advances together in a single volume for researchers and advanced level students. </p>
