Effect of application of herbicides on weeds in the wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) crop and yield attribute

Abstract

The experiment was carried out at the farm of S. Dalip Singh at Abohar, Teh-Abohar, Dist-Fazilka, Punjab. The crop was grown in Rabi season of 2017-18 to study the effect of application of herbicides on weeds in the wheat crop and yield attribute. The crop was sown on November 28, 2017. The following treatments are T1- (Pendimethlin 30 EC @ 1L/ acre), T2- (Isoproturon 75% WP @ 500g/ acre), T3- ­(Metsulfuron methyl 20% WP @ 8g/ acre), T4-(Hand weeding), T5 -(Control) treatments. The experimental conducted that among the treatments T1 has performed better in parameter like plant height (103.08 cm), effective tillers (267), yield per acre (25.44q) and harvest index(44.66%). It is concluded from the experiment that higher yield can be obtained by pre-emergence application of Pendimethlin 30 EC (Stomp).
