Comparative evaluation of herbicide application through drone and power sprayer in soybean+pigeonpea intercropping system

Abstract

A field experiment carried out at Experimental Farm, Krishi Vigyan Kendra (Selsura) Wardha, Maharashtra, India during kharif 2024-25 entitled “Comparative evaluation of herbicides application through Drone and Power sprayer in soybean + pigeonpea intercropping system”. The experiment comprising with eight treatments was laid out in randomized block design with three replications. Among the herbicidal treatments, application of Post emergence herbicidal combination of Imazethapyr + Imazamox @ 0.070 kg a.i./ha at 15 DAS through Power sprayer recorded highest soybean yield, pigeonpea yield, soybean equivalent yield, GMR, NMR and B:C ratio followed by Imazethapyr + Imazamox POE 0.070 kg a.i./ha at 15 DAS through Drone.
