Abstract:

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the bio-efficacy of azimsulfuron 50 DF against sedges especially Cyperus rotundus. As dose of azimsulfuron was increased from 25 to 30 g/ha, weed density and dry weight of weeds reduced at all the crop growth stages. Azimsulfuron was found comparable to pendimethalin and metsulfuron-methyl (MSM) alone but recorded significantly higher weed dry matter as compared to pendimethalin fb MSM at 45 DAS. Pendimethalin alone and azimsulfuron (30g) combined with MSM were comparable to standard check i.e. pendimethalin 1 kg/ha fb MSM 4 g/ha in terms of weed dry weight at 70 DAS. Azimsulfuron 30 g/ha along with MSM 2 g/ha recorded significantly higher yield (554 kg/ha) as compared to 25 g/ha along with MSM. There is no advantage of tank mixed application of azimsulfuron with MSM over azimsulfuron alone for the control of sedges and broad leaved weeds.
