Abstract:

A field experiment was conducted to study the herbicidal management of Leptochloa chinensis (L.) Nees. during Rabi season in a farmer’s field at Pullu in Thrissur district during the period November 2012 -March 2013. Post-emergence application of fenoxaprop-p-ethyl 60 g/ha or cyhalofop-butyl 80 g/ha can be recommended in L. colona infested fields. Wherever this weed is not a problem, bispyribac-sodium 30 g/ha can be recommended.
