Is Glyphosate use necessary before wheat planting?
No, the application of Roundup is only necessary in the situations, where weeds have emerged before planting wheat as in late sown conditions. If wheat is sown timely in residual moisture of the previous rice crop, weeds do not emerge before wheat planting and there is no need to apply Roundup. If Roundup (Glyphosate) is expensive, farmers can opt for a shallow tillage to kill the weeds.
