Labor Uprooting Weeds from Sweet Potato Field

AssalamuAlaikum & Greetings Everyone!

Welcome to my blog, friends of the agriculture mindset, moderators, and admin. I have dedicated a sweet potato blog for this community so that all my friends who are related to agriculture and want to cultivate sweet potatoes can read my blogs and get information while staying in this community.

The interesting thing is that here, new updates about sweet potatoes are constantly being received. I practically apply them in my field and share them with you people.

Today is a very busy day for me because the number of weeds in the sweet potato field has increased a lot, which needs to be destroyed. For this, I have taken the help of labor so that it can be uprooted. For this, I have had to make some payments, which are six thousand Pakistani rupees per acre.

Labor is uprooting the weeds. Rather, this work is very difficult, which requires a lot of effort.

It is very difficult to work in the intense sun and heat. The work that the laborer is responsible for is doing their job, but with it, the sweet potato plants have to be prevented from putting new roots in the ground because many plants that have grown quite tall have started putting new roots in the ground due to rain and moisture.

With the help of a friend of mine whose name is Tufail and who knows this work well, we have started turning the sweet potato plants upside down so that their new roots can be uprooted. This work requires extreme caution because its plants are very delicate and there is a risk of them breaking.

So we slowly separate these plants by their roots from the ground and place them in a high place above the ground to protect them from moisture. We have dedicated about four to five hours to this.

This is a very hard and tiring work. Due to the intensity of the heat and the humidity, my body is sweating and I am feeling quite tired. Please wait a while. I want to rest for a while. Sleep is also taking over me, so I would like to end my block here. You can discuss it with me.
