Which weedicide is generally used for the control of Phalaris minor (Kanki) in wheat?

Correct option is C

• Phalaris minor, commonly called “Kanki”, is a grassy weed that severely competes with wheat for nutrients, water, and light.
• Historically, isoproturon, a phenylurea herbicide, has been widely used as an effective chemical control against P. minor in wheat fields.
• 2,4-D is a broad-leaf herbicide and not selective for grassy weeds like Phalaris minor.
• Metsulfuron is effective against some broadleaf weeds but is not the primary herbicide recommended for grass weed control in wheat.
• Therefore, isoproturon remains the historically recommended option for controlling Phalaris minor, though resistance management strategies now combine multiple herbicides.
