Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted at the Seed Cell Unit (F Block), Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri, during Kharif season of 2021-2022. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design (RBD) with three replications and nine treatments. The results revealed that, lowest weed population, weed dry weight, weed index, weed persistence index with highest weed control efficiency (100%) was obtained in weed free treatment, which was at par with application of diclosulam 84% WDG @ 25 g ha^-1 (PE) + 1 hoeing at 20 DAS and pendimethalin 30% EC @ 1000 g ha^-1 (PE) + 1 hoeing at 20 DAS. The maximum herbicide efficiency index was reported by application of diclosulam 84% WDG @ 25 g ha^-1 (PE) + 1 hoeing at 20 DAS (6.82) which is followed by and at par treatment pendimethalin 30% EC @ 1000 g ha^-1 (PE) + 1 hoeing at 20 DAS (4.48).
