Title Integrated Effect of Tillage and Weed Control Methods on Weed Dynamics and Weed Management in Maize (Zea Mays L.)
 
Creator Chopra, Pankaj
 
Subject 633.15 Corn
 
Description Maize is one of the most important Kharif crop grown in India and occupies an area of 0.7 million hectares with annual production of 1.48 million tonnes (Anonymous, 2004)a. In Himachal Pradesh, out of 420.22 thousand hectare area under Kharif cereals, maize occupies highest area (301.28 thousand hectares) and is next to wheat (366.52 thousand hectares) among Rabi and Kharif cereals (Anonymous, 2004)b. Because of C4 physiological mechanism and congenial climatic conditions available for its growth and development, it has highest production (768.20 thousand tonnes) amongst all the cereals in H.P. with an average productivity of 2550 kg/ha which is higher than the national average of 2114 kg/ha (Anonymous, 2004). However, this productivity is much lower than the realisable potential leaving much scope for improvement.
