Abstract:

An experiment was conducted on loamy sand soil at Bidi Tobacco Research Station Farm, Anand Agricultural University, Anand, Gujarat during 2011-12 and 2012-13. Twenty treatment combinations comprising of four levels of fertilizer management (control; ammonium sulphate: 200 kg/ha; castor cake: 200 kg/ha and neem cake: 200 kg/ha) and five weed management treatments (unweeded, manual weeding, pendimethalin 1.0 kg/ha, isoproturon 1.0 kg/ha and glyphosate 1.0 kg/ha) were tried out in a factorial RBD with four replications. The application of ammonium sulphate at 200 kg/ha along with irrigation and manual weeding of broomrape were found to be the best practices.
