Evaluating the bio-efficacy of a novel herbicide (Prosulfocarb) on weed control, with a focus on Phalaris minor, in wheat

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 Evaluating the Bio-efficacy of a Novel Herbicide (Prosulfocarb) on Weed Control, with a Focus on Phalaris minor, in Wheat. The soil was normal in pH of 7.66, electrical conductivity (EC) of 0.23 dSm-1, organic carbon content of 0.40%, and available nutrients including nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) at levels of 215.90, 19.25, and 148.40 kg ha-1, respectively. The experiment was laid out during Rabi season of 2023-24. The experiment consisted of 8 treatment combinations, was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications.
