Lantana, the North American weed which migrated to India via Sri Lanka, has spreading rapidly covering vast area of forest, agriculture and wasteland etc affecting the growth of main vegetation. It can not be eradicated completely, till it is uprooted. Presently the plants are either cut or dug out by traditional method. In this process, after some time the roots of Lantana sprout again and the plants spread more densely covering still larger area. In this paper we present results of extensive field trials with a Stalk Puller developed by FRI to determine in getting rid of the menace its suitability, efficiency and economics as compared to conventional method. Detailed time and cost study was also conducted. The Stalk puller developed was found more advantageous and efficient.Downloads
