This is a Q&A thread where farmers seek advice on controlling a specific, resilient weed (likely Medicinal Grass). The discussion reveals a major pain point regarding the reduced efficacy of common agrochemicals like ForceUp due to quality reduction and weed resistance. Participants share various chemical and non-chemical solutions, including hot water, kerosene, and salt, while some argue the weed should be left alone for its medicinal and export value.
