| dcterms.description | A weed killer based on cooking salt has been developed by paddy farmers in northern Thailand, with a mixture of 60g NaCl per litre of water). Research workers have confirmed that this is indeed an effective treatment which prevents growth of the major weeds Asteraceae and Compositae and which helps biomass volume to grow. To be applied sparingly, only once per cultivation cycle, and not to be repeated the next year, this household weed killer has the advantages of not damaging the environment and reducing the need for manpower.
