Abstract
A field experiment was conducted on fingermillet [Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn] during kharif 1996 and 1997 at Ranichauri under rainfed conditions. Pre-emergence spray of 0.5 kg a.i./ha of isoproturon alone and mixed with sand, and post-emergence spray of 0.75 kg a.i./ha of 2, 4-D Na-salt alone and with CaSO, gave simllar grain and stover yields but markedly higher than control. However, isoproturon alone recorded comparatively higher net returns than all other herbicidal treatments and control. Two intercultivation along with 1 hand weeding gave the minimum weed count and weed dry weight and also gave significantly higher grain yield (21.06 @ha) and monetary return (Rs 3,6@0/ha) as compared to other treatments.
