Weeds are major threats for loss of yield in any cropping system. Especially in conservation tillage systems, it is a basic necessary requirement to keep the weed population below their threshold levels to realize optimum grain yields. Managing weeds in conservation tillage systems are very essential to optimize crop production. Hence, to study the effect of conservation tillage practices on weed dynamics, soil weed seed bank and their distribution, a field experiment was conducted under rainfed finger millet (Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn.) on Alfisols for two consecutive seasons during 2014 and 2015 at All India Coordinated Research Project on Dryland Agriculture, University of Agricultural Sciences, GKVK, Bengaluru, India under split-plot design with three main plots (different tillages) and five sub-plots (different nutrient management). Conventional tillage has recorded significantly higher grain and straw yield of finger millet (3.04 and 4.69 t/ha, respectively) due to effective control of weeds as evidenced by lower total weed density and dry weight observed (13.7 no./m2, 8.0 g/m2 at 30 DAS and 23.9 no./m2, 9.0 g/m2 at 60 DAS) along with higher weed control efficiency (92.5-93.2% in 2014 and 93.3-93.8% in 2015) and lower weed index (7.6-10.3%) due to lower number of weed seeds observed during 2014 (12.3, 19.5 and 4.6/kg soil at 15, 30 and 60 days, respectively) and 2015 (11.3, 17.6 and 4.1/kg soil at 15, 30 and 60 days, respectively as compared to minimum tillage (2.60 and 4.03 t/ha, respectively). Whereas, zero tillage has recorded significantly lower grain and straw yield (2.09 and 3.24 t/ha, respectively) due to poor weed control as observed by higher soil weed seed bank. Among different nutrient management practices application of 100% recommended NPK + 7.5 t FYM/ha yielded significantly higher grain and straw yields (3.03 and 4.68 t/ha, respectively) over other nutrient management practices. Wherein, the soil weed seed bank was not significantly influenced by nutrient management practices and their interactions with the tillage.
