Abstract:
In fruit orchards, weeds are considered as the unwanted crops which compete for nutrient, light, moisture and space with the associated crop. So, the present investigation was carried out with the objective to control the weeds by different weed control treatments. There were fifteen sequential applications of herbicides with three replications in randomized block design. Nine years old uniformly grown trees of cultivar L-49, spaced at 6m × 6m were selected. Data was recorded on Soil pH, ECe, available Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Potassium, Zinc and Iron. Among different weed control treatments glyphosate 1.26 kg/ha (July) fb glyphosate 1.26 kg/ha (August) fb glyphosate 1.26 kg/ha (September) was found effective in improving the soil parameters.
