Evaluation of post-emergence herbicides in pearl millet (Pennisetum typhoides)

Abstract

To study the effect of different post-emergence herbicides against weeds in pearl millet a field experiment was conducted at Agricultural College Farm, Bapatla during Kharif 2016. Results of the experiment showed that the application of metsulfuron + chlorimuron ethyl 4 (2+2) g a.i./ha was effective and economical in controlling weeds in pearl millet without any phytotoxic effect on the crop and is thus an effective alternative for manual weeding.
