Abstract:

A field experiment was conducted during Kharif season of years 2011 and 2012 at Norman E. Borlaug crop research centre of Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture & Technology, Pantnagar (U.S. Nagar), Uttarakhand. Fluazifop-p-butyl + fomesafen controlled grasses and non-grassy weeds effectively and recorded 29.3 weeds/m2  in 500 g/ha against (171.17/m2) in untreated check. However, the grain yield was highest (2.21 t/ha) in the treatment of weed free followed by fluazifop-p-butyl + fomesafen applied 313 g/ha as post-emergence (2-5 leaf stage of weeds). Biomass of weeds was also lowest in fluazifop-p-butyl + fomesafen  313 g/ha treated plots. However, total weed density was lowest in fluazifop-p-butyl + fomesafen 500 g/ha treated plot but this dose showed toxic effects on crop. Weed index was lowest (7.8%) in the treatment of fluazifop-p-butyl + fomesafen 313 g/ha and highest in untreated (63.5%).
