Description |
A field experiment was conducted in red sandy clay loam texture soil during kharif season of 2010 at Gandhi Krishi Vignana Kendra, Bengaluru, Karnataka state to evaluate the efficacy of pre and post emergence herbicides for control of weeds in pigeonpea. Among the herbicidal treatments, pendimethalin @ 0.75 kg a.i. ha-1 + one hand weeding at 50 days after sowing (DAS) recorded significantly lower weed population (41/0.25m2) and dry weight (35.5 g/0.25m2) of weeds at all the growth stages of the crop as compared to other treatments, which was on par with alachlor @ 1.0 kg a.i. ha-1 + one hand weeding at 50 DAS. It was also recorded higher plant height, branches, leaf area and total dry matter per plant. Seed yield was higher in pendimethalin @ 0.75 kg a.i. ha-1 + one hand weeding at 50 DAS (1281 kg ha-1). Among the herbicidal treatments, the lower seed yield was observed in imazethapyr @ 75 g a.i. ha-1 at 15-20 DAS. Weed control efficiency was higher in pendimethalin @ 0.75 kg a.i. ha-1 + one hand weeding at 50 DAS (75 %) and was on par with alachlor @ 1.0 kg a.i. ha-1 + one hand weeding at 50 DAS (73 %). The higher net returns and benefit per each rupee invested was observed in pendimethalin @ 0.75 kg a.i. ha-1 + one hand weeding at 50 DAS and in alachlor @ 1.0 kg a.i. ha-1 + one hand weeding at 50 DAS. |
