Target Crops:
Maize (Corn)

About the Problem:
Trianthema portulacastrum is a fast-growing broad-leaved weed that can form a dense spreading cover over the soil surface. Severe infestation can create strong competition with young maize plants for nutrients, moisture, sunlight and space.

Season of Occurrence:
Commonly occurs during the Kharif and summer seasons, particularly under warm conditions following rainfall or irrigation.
