Weed management in field pea (Pisum sativum L.) under vertisols condition of Chhattisgarh

Abstract

An experiment was conducted at DKS College of Agriculture and Research Station, Bhatapara, Chhattisgarh to judge the profitability and suitability of different weed management in field pea clay loam soil. Experiments with 12 different treatment combinations indicate that depending upon the availability of labour, the profitability of rabi field peas could be achieved through 2 hand weeding 20 and 40 days after sowing. The study also reveals that application of, Pendimenthalin 30% EC @ 1000 g ha-1 (PE), Oxyfluorfen 23.5% EC @ 200 g ha-1 (PE), Pendimenthalin 30% EC @ 1000 g ha-1 (PE)+ Hand weeding 30DAS, Imazethapyr 10% SL @ 75 g ha-1 (PoE), Quizalofop-p-ethyl 5% EC @ 75 g ha-1 (PoE), Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl 9.3% EC @ 100 g ha-1 (PoE), Pendimenthalin 30% EC @ 1000 g ha-1 (PE)- Imazethapyr 10% SL @ 75 g ha-1 (PoE), Imazethapyr 35% + Imazamox 35% WG @ 70 g ha-1 (PoE), Pendimenthalin 30% EC @ 1000 g ha-1 (PE) - Imazethapyr 35% + Imazamox 35% WG @ 70 g ha-1 (PoE).
