Abstract:

An experiment was conducted on loamy sand soil at Bidi Tobacco Research Station Farm, Anand Agricultural University, Anand, Gujarat during Kharif-Rabi season of 2011-12 and 2012-13. Twenty treatment combinations comprising of four levels of fertilizer management and five levels of herbicide management were tested in a factorial RBD with four replications. It was concluded that for controlling broomrape effectively and securing maximum cured leaf yield of Bidi tobacco as well as economic returns with management through different fertilizers, an application of ammonium sulphate at 200 kg/ha along with irrigation should be carried out. With regard to management of broomrape, manual weeding of broomrape was found to be the best practice.
