Weed management studies in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) under verying levels of phosphorus in Bundelkhand region of southern U.P.

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during 2004-05 & 2005-06 at research farm of Brahamanand Mahavidyalaya, Rath (Hamirpur) University of Bundelkhand, Jhansi (U.P.), to find out weed management studies in Chickpea under varying levels of phosphorus in Bundelkhand region of Southern U.P. At the inception of the experiment, the soil was low in organic carbon & available nitrogen, medium in phosphorus & potassium. On the basis of results obtained in the present study conducted for two consecutive years, the following conclusions are being made out which could be useful for both scientists & farmers. The next best treatment to weed free was the integrated method of ween management i.e. pre-emergence application of Pendemethalin @ 1.0 kg a.i. ha-1 + HW at 48 DAS in respect of providing better yield & yield contributing characters and for effective.
