Evaluation of post emergence herbicides on weed spectrum in rice wet nursery

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at College of Agriculture, V. C Farm, Mandya for the evaluation of post emergence herbicides on weed spectrum in rice wet nursery during kharif, 2016. The results indicated that post emergence application of Bispyribac-sodium 12 SC @ 20.0 g a.i. ha-1 at15 DAS showed lower phyotoxicity on rice seedlings. It also resulted in significantly lower number of weed count, weed dry weight (grasses, sedges, broad leaved weeds) and their dry weight as comparable with rest of all the treatments.
