Abstract:
Experiments were conducted during kharif season of 2019 at Instructional cum Research Farm, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya Raipur (C.G.). The soil of the experimental field was ‘Vertisols’ locally known as ‘Kanhar’ with sandy clay loam in texture and pH 7.10. It was low in available nitrogen (220 kg ha-1), medium in available phosphorus (12.54 kg ha-1), and high in potassium (288 kg ha-1). The experiment was laid out in Randomized block design (RBD) with 7 treatments and 3 replications. The result of present experiment conclude that growth attributes viz, plant height, number of branch, dry matter accumulation as well as yield attributes viz, number of pod plant-1, number of seed pod-1, Seed index (100 seed), seed yield, stover yield, harvest index were found maximum under Sodium Acifluarfan (16.5%) + Clodinafoppropargyl (8% EC) @ 1000 MI/ha + MACARENA @ 625 ml/ha which was at par with Propaquizafop 2.5% EC + Imazethapyr 3.7% ME @ 2000 ml/ha + MACARENA @ 625 ml/ha.
