Efficacy of herbicides against diverse weed flora of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Abstract

The present experiment was conducted at Barrister Thakur Chhedilal College of Agriculture and research station, Bilaspur, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur (C.G.) during Rabi season 2021-22. With a view to study the Efficacy of herbicides against diverse weed flora of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) In wheat. The wheat variety GW322 was used for the research and the treatments were replicated three times in a randomized block design and the treatments was consisted of thirteen treatments. Results revealed that treatment T11 where Weed Free at tillering and jointing stages resulted the highest plant height, number of effective tillers at harvest, number of tillers (m⁻²) length at harvest, grain yield (q ha-1), straw yield (q ha-1). Which was significantly superior over other treatments but was at par with T7 Pyroxasulfone + Metsulfuron (EPOST tank mix) 127.5 + 4 g a.i./ha-1 at tillering and jointing stages with grain yield (qha-1) closely followed by the treatment T5.
