Field study conducted at experimental farm of Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana (India) during rabi seasons of 2004-05 and 2005-06 revealed that nutrient uptake by Phalaris minor as well as broadleaf weeds were significantly reduced with zero till sowing in standing stubbles, zero till sowing after partial burning and bed planting techniques as dry matter accumulation by weeds was significantly less in these treatments as compared to conventional tillage and zero tillage techniques (without stubbles). Post-emergence application of clodinafop 60 g/ ha f. b. 2, 4-D 0.5 kg/ha, sulfosulfuron 25 g/ha and mesosulfuron+iodosulfuron 12.0 g/ha significantly reduced the dry matter accumulation by all weeds and hence significantly reduced uptake of N, P and K by both P. minor and broadleaf weeds, whereas clodinafop 60 g/ha alone reduced dry weight and nutrient uptake of P. minor only as compared to control (unweeded) crop.
