Effect of broad leaf herbicides on yield and yield attributes of irrigated wheat

Abstract

Experiment was carried out during rabi 2016 and 2017 under All India co-ordinate Wheat & Barley Improvement Project, at BTC, College of agriculture and Research Station Sarkanda, Bilaspur (C.G.). The highest grain yield was obtained under weed free situations during both the year of experiment (45.98 & 50.41 q/ha). Among herbicidal weed control treatments post emergence application of Metsulfuron + Carfentrazone + S, producing higher yield (44.95 & 47.32 q/ha) which was at par with Halauxifen + Florasulam + Carfentrazone + S (44.56 & 47.18 q/ha) during both the year of experiment. Gain in yield was due to better weed control as a result higher number of earheads/sq.m & test weight (g).
