Effect of weed management practices on yield attributes and yield of irrigated cotton

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of weed management practices on yield attributes and yield of irrigated cotton. The experiments were laid in split plot design with five main off-season land management practices and six subplots -cropping season weed management practices replicated thrice. Results of the experiment revealed that the off-season soil solarization with transparent white polyethylene sheets followed by pre- sowing soil incorporation of fluchloralin 0.75 kg / ha + blackgram intercropping performed the best in recording the least total weed counts and the highest mean seed cotton yield and net income.
