Studies on the effect of weed suppression through, on the growth parameter, yield and economics of the Lentil crop (Lens culinaris Medick)

Abstract

A field experiment conducted during Rabi season 2013-2014 at Students Instructional farm, Department of Agronomy, Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur (U.P.). To find out studies the effect of the weed suppression through, mechanical, cultural and chemical method of weed control of the Lentil crop (Lens culinaris Medick) Practices where variety KLS-218 and conventional tillage along with two hand weeding was done gives higher grain and straw yield comparison to all. Other treatments also recorded higher net income and B: C Ratio. This experiment was done where soil was sandy loam in texture. Organic carbon was about 0.5% and nitrogen content was low, medium in phosphorus and potassium availability. The pH7.7 indicates that the soil was slightly alkaline in reaction.
