Abstract/Description: | Onion (Allium cepa L.) is short duration, shallow rooted bulb vegetable crops commonly cultivated throughout the India and it is more prone to weed menace. Weed infestation is the one of the limiting factor in quality bulb production in onion. Weeds interfere with development of bulbs also adds cost of cultivation. Removal of weeds through hand weeding method is laborious, costly and time consuming. This situation makes it necessary to use herbicides for effective and timely control of weeds in this crop. It is thus highly imperative to schedule suitable method of weed control by application of different herbicides for enhancing profits to the onion growers of the country. With this background, an experiment was conducted at Directorate of Onion and Garlic Research, Rajgurunagar, Pune in clay loam soil using rabi onion cultivar N 2-4-1 with different herbicides like Oxyflurofen, Quizalofop Ethyl and Pendimethalin in comparison with weedy check. It was observed that among the various herbicides evaluated, application of Oxyflurofen 23.5 % EC @ 1.5ml/L before planting and one hand weeding at 40-60 days after onion seedlings transplanting recorded the higher marketable bulb yield (43.5t/ha) with maximum weed control efficiency of 78.4%.The same treatment was also recorded higher cost benefit ratio of 1:3.06. |
