Details Of Innovation	First, use a hoe or pickaxe to plough and remove weeds like Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon) and "cchnya." Then lay layers of the husk of wheat (Triticum aestivum) and cakes of pearl millet (Pennisetum typhoides) on the ground up to four to five inches. Put some dust on top of this. This prevents the weeds from growing for one and a half to two years. This is a traditional method.
