Abstract
The present investigation was conducted at Instructional Farm of Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur (C.G.) India during the kharif season (June-October) 2006. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design comprised of eight treatments of various combinations of different herbicides viz. T1:PIH 2023 10% SC 15 g a.i/ha at 18 DAS; T2 : PIH 2023 10% SC 20 g a.i/ha at 18 DAS; T3 : PIH 2023 10% SC 25 g a.i/ha at 18 DAS; T4 : PIH 2023 10% SC 30 g a.i/ha at18 DAS; T5 : PIH 202310% SC 60 g a.i/ha at 18 DAS T6 : Almix 20% WP 4 g a.i/ha 18 DAS; T7 :Control (unweeded check) and T8 : Hand weeding at 30 DAS with three replications. Rice cultivar “IR-64” was grown as a test crop. The growth performance of Rice i.e. plant height, Number of tillers(m-2), Number of effective tillers(m-2), dry matter accumulation plant-1, was higher under PIH 2023 10% SC 25 g a.i/ha as compared to other weed management practices. Wher as the minimum growth of rice recorded under unweeded. Maximum grain yield and straw yield was under PIH 2023 10% SC 60 g a.i/ha Echinochloa colona, Cyperus spp., F. miliaceae, L. hyssopifolia were the pre-dominant weeds in experimental plot. Minimum weed density was noted under post emergence application of Almix 4 g ha-1 and PIH 2023 25 g ha-1 at 20, 40, 70 and 90 DAS. Whereas, at harvest lower dry matter of weeds and highest weed control efficiency was recorded under Almix 4 g ha-1 (T6), PIH 2023 25 g ha-1 and PIH 2023 60 g ha-1, respectively. It was found effective to control broad spectrum of weeds viz., grasses, sedges and forbs.
