Effect of integrated weed management on oil quality and oil yield of linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) under south Gujarat condition

Abstract

At the college farm of the N. M. College of Agriculture, NAU, Navsari, an experiment was conducted to determine how integrated weed control affects the oil production and quality of linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) during the Rabi season of 2016-2017. When labour is readily accessible, keeping the crop weed-free during the crop's growth period can boost output potential, increase profit, and effectively manage weeds while also improving the quality of the oil in the linseed. Pendimethalin was equally effective in the absence of labour at 0.75 kg/ha PE fb 2, 4-D and 0.50 kg/ha PoE, 40 DAS.
