Abstract:

Field experiments were conducted to study the effect of dual cropping of green manure on weed management in semi-dry rice. The maximum reduction in weed density and dry matter was achieved under paired row sowing (PRS) of rice with Sesbania aculeata under weed free conditions. PRS of rice with Sesbania aculeata under weed free condition recorded the lesser weed index, higher weed control and weed smothering efficiencies. The higher yield (3528 kg/ha) was achieved with PRS of rice with Sesbania aculeata under weed free condition but it was comparable with normal sowing of rice with pendimethalin 1.0 kg/ha at 3 days after sowing (DAS) fb two hand weeding on 30 and 60 DAS.
