Abstract:
Pearl millet fills a distinct place in the agrarian economy of the country. It has drought- escaping mechanism but still responds well to irrigation and improved agronomic management practices. A field experiment was conducted at Agronomy research farm of CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, Haryana during Kharif 2017. Seventeen treatments were tested using a randomised block design with three replications. Observations on growth studies, yield attributes, yield, and economics of pearl millet were recorded. Important weed species observed in the experimental plots were Cyperus rotundus, Echinochloa colona, Trianthema portulacastrum and Digera arvensis. Application of Tembotrione (Laudis) @80g/ha (PoE) at 2-4 leaf/10-15 DAS + one HW at 30 DAS (T15) and Tembotrione @100g/ha (PoE) at 2-4 leaf/10-15 DAS + one HW at 30 DAS (T16) recorded higher plant population, plant height, total tillers, leaf area, effective tillers, earhead length, earhead girth, yield and economic returns with good crop growth. The application of PRE and POST-emergence herbicides with one hand weeding would be better option than their applications alone to manage weed problem efficiently under irrigated conditions.
