Assessing the integrated impact of tillage and weed control methods on weed dynamics and management in maize (Zea mays)

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2023-24 on loamy sand of in the rural area of Kanpur district of Mandhana, located 10 km from Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh to Assessing the Integrated Impact of Tillage and Weed Control Methods on Weed Dynamics and Management in Maize (Zea mays). The soil was normal in pH of 7.60, electrical conductivity (EC) of 0.25 dSm-1, organic carbon content of 0.44%, and available nutrients including nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) at levels of 216.30, 19.15, and 149.10 kg ha-1, respectively. The experiment was laid out during Kharif season of 2023-24. The experiment consisted of 12 treatment combinations (3Main plots Tillage methods, 4 Sub-plots Weed control methods) was laid out in Split Plot Design (SPD) with three replications.
