A field exper irnent on the control of weeds in teosinte and maize fodders was conducted at the Central Farm of the Indian Grassland & Fodder Research Institute, Jhansi during 1967-68 and 1968-69. The treatments included preemergerce application of slrnaz in e (0.75 and 1.50 kg a.i./ha) alone and in combination with post-emergence application of amine salts of 2, 4-0 and MCPA and mechanical weeding, in addition to mechanical weeding alone, intercropoing with cowpeas and untreated control. The residual effect of treatments was studied on the mbi crops of potato and berseem. Treatment effects were observed on weeds and the fodder yields. Application of simazine @ 1.50 kg a i /ha in combination with mechanical weeding proved most effective in controlling weeds and increasing the yield of fodders. This treatment was also found suitable for the cultivation of potato or berseem crops during the rabi season.
