Abstract:

A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2008-09 at Faizabad to study the effect of sowing methods and weed management practices on growth and productivity of wheat. Cross sowing recorded significantly higher growth, yield attributes in terms of plant height, number of shoots/m2, dry matter accumulation, number of spike/m2, spike length, number of grains/spike and grain (3.8 t/ha) and straw (5.5 t/ha) yields. The values of growth, yield attributes and grain (4.1 t/ha) and straw (6.1 t/ha) yields were higher in weed-free check. Application of isoproturon at 1.0 kg/ha + 2,4-D 500 g/ha was found best as compared to other herbicide treatments.
