Abstract:
The present investigation entitled Effect of different weed management practices on vegetative growth of turf grasses under Chhattisgarh plains condition accomplished at Thakur Chhedilal College of Agriculture and Research Station in Bilaspur Chhattisgarh during the year 2021-2023. The experiment was conducted in factorial randomized complete block design (FRCBD) with two turf grasses Cynodon dactylon × C. transvelensis var. ‘Tifdwarf’ (C1) and Zoysia japonica (C2) and six weed management practices W1- Weedy check, W2- Soil Solarization, W3- Pendimethalin 1.0 kg ha-1 PE fb HW 50 and 75 DAP, W4- Metsulfuron methyl 4 g ha-1 + sulfosulfuron 25 g ha-1 (20 to 25 DAP) fb HW 50 and 75 DAP, W5- Pendimethalin 1.0 kg ha-1 + Metsulfuron 4 g ha-1 + sulfosulfuron 25 g ha-1 (20 to 25 DAP) one HW 75 DAP and W6- Weed free (three HW 20,40 and 60 DAP) replicated thrice at a time with twelve interaction. Significantly early new growth appearance, fast 90% area coverage recorded under C1W5, shortest length of internode, longest length of leaves, highest number of leaves, longest shoot length, highest shoot density, root density and highet root length recorded under C1W5.
