Description |
The present investigation entitled "EFFICIENCY OF CERTAIN HERBICIDES, THEIR FORMULATIONS AND FORMS OF UREA ON WEED CONTROL AND YIELD 'IN TRANSPLANTED RICE" was conducted on sandy clay loam soil of medium fertility status at Agriculture College Farm, Rajendranagar, during kharif 1988. The experiment was laid out in a randomised block design {factorial) with 22 treatments, replicated thrice. The treatments consisted of two forms of urea viz., prilled urea and large granular urea and eleven weed control treatments under each form viz., three herbicid~s {i.e., butachlor, benthiocarb and anilofos) each one tried with three formulations {i.e., coating of urea with EC formulation of herbicide, EC formulation and granular formulation) compared with hand weeding and no weeding as check. The test vari~ty was Tellahamsa. The weeds found during the study were Cyperus difformis, Cyperus iria and Scripus supinus {Sedges), Echinochloa colonurn, "ECFiinochloa crusgalli, Brachiaria mutica and Cynodon d~ctylon {grasses), Monochoria vaginalis, Cesulia axillaris, Eclipta alba, Ipomea aquatica and Marselia minuta {broad leaved weeds). In general, sedges were found to be more with PU, while grasses and broad leaved weeds were dominant with LGU. Total weed density was more in PU, but the dry matter of weeds was more with LGU. Application of large granular urea resulted in maximum uptake of nutrients by weeds as well as crop, besides increasing number of tillers, dry matter production of crop, number of panicles, number of filled grains per panicle, panicle weight ind test weight. Large granu~ la;1 urea (3971 kg ha- ) outyielded the PU (3809 kg ha ). Butachlor was most effective in lowering the percentage of srasses and broad leaved weeds in PU. In general, butachlor recorded significantly lesser weed density coupled with lower dry weight of weeds resulting in lesser weed index and higher weed control efficiency than anilof qs and benthiocarb in both the forms of urea. No severe phytotoxic effects were observed on rice due to applica;tion of · herbicides. App~ication of but~chlor significantly accounted for higher yield attributes viz., panicles, filled grains, panicle weight and test weight compared to ani!~f os and benthiocarb. -!aximum grain yield (4102 kg ha in PU and 4272 .kg ha in LGU) was reco1ded with butachlor fo!towed .by anilofos (3978 kg ha- in Pg1and 4167 kg ha in L@£> and benthiocarb (3857 kg ha in PU and 4060· kg ha in LGU). Uptake of nutrients (N, P and K) was also maximum with butachlor. Higher additional grain yield due to herbicides over unweeded. check and the maximum response of the additional grain yield to ope kg N applied was recorded with butachlor whereas higher co~t-benefit ratio was obtained with anilofos in both the forms of urea. Coating of urea with EC formulation of herbicide controlled· grasses in both the forms of urea. This formulation resulted in significant reduction in weed density, weed dry matter, weed index and higher weed control efficiency. Maximum uptake of N, P and K by weeds was found with the spray of EC formulation irrespective of the fo~ . of urea. Significantly more number of tillers m , higher ~ry matter of Q20P and yield components viz., number of panicles m , number of filled grain per panicle, panicle weight and test weight were observed with coating of urea with EC formulation of. herbicide in both the form~ 1of urea. There was an incr~rse of 397 and 279 kg ha in PU and 352 and 243 kg ha in LGU of grain yield over EC and granular formulation with EC formulation of herbicide coated over urea, which also recorded highest uptake of all the nutrients by crop. The additional grain yield due to herb~cides over unweeded check and the response of the additional grain yield to one kg N appl~ed was also · found to be more in coating of urea with EC formulation of herbicide in both the forms of urea. The cost-benefit ratio was also superior with this formulation. There was no interaction betwee~ herbicides and their formulations in both the forms of urea throughout the investigation. |
