Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted at College Farm, College of Agriculture, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad during Rabi 2020-21 on loamy sand soils to find out the effect of weed management practices on weed control in mustard. Among different weed management practices, lower weed density and weed dry weight were observed under intercultivation and hand weeding at 15 and 30 DAS and it was on par with oxadiargyl 6% EC 0.09 kg ha-1 PE fb intercultivation at 30 DAS. Similarly higher weed control efficiency was noticed with intercultivation and hand weeding at 15 and 30 DAS and it was followed by oxadiargyl 6% EC 0.09 kg ha-1 PE fb intercultivation at 30 DAS. Lower nutrient removal by weeds at harvest was recorded under intercultivation and hand weeding at 15 and 30 DAS and it was on par with oxadiargyl 6% EC 0.09 kg ha-1 PE fb intercultivation at 30 DAS.
