Logging: nutrient status of plant.
Treshing: removing dry leaves from crop.
Blind hoeing: weeding after sowing and before germination.
Arrowing: inflorescence of cane is arrow and process of emerging is called arrowing.
Water lodging: crop fall down due to excessive water.
Crop lodging: crop fall down due to high wind velocity.
