Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Herbicide combinations reduced weed count and dry weight compared with sole herbicide applications.
- Intervention effect Herbicide combinations increased plant height and number of tillers compared with sole herbicide applications.
- Intervention effect Herbicide combinations increased crop dry matter, yield attributes and yield compared with sole herbicide applications.
- Intervention effect Clodinafop + metsulfuron gave 28.6% higher grain yield of wheat than hand weeding twice.
- Intervention effect Pendimethalin followed by metsulfuron gave 23.1% higher grain yield of wheat than hand weeding twice.
- Association Weeds reduced wheat grain yield by 51.9%.
- Association Each unit increase in weed count per m2 decreased wheat grain yield by 13.3 kg/ha.
- Observation The cost of weed control under herbicidal treatments was 9.0–28.9% of that under hand weeding, lowest under metribuzin and highest under pendimethalin fb sulfosulfuron.
- Observation Clodinafop + metsulfuron gave the highest net returns from weed control and marginal benefit: cost ratio.
- Observation Clodinafop + metsulfuron gave the highest weed control efficiency, weed control index and crop resistance index.
- Observation Clodinafop + metsulfuron gave the highest treatment efficiency index, crop intensity index and weed index.
- Observation Weed management index, agronomic management index and integrated weed management index were highest under sulfosulfuron, followed by clodinafop + metsulfuron.
- Recommendation Clodinafop + metsulfuron, pinoxaden + metsulfuron, sulfosulfuron + metsulfuron, pendimethalin fb sulfosulfuron and pendimethalin + metribuzin are recommended for effective weed management in wheat under mid hill conditions of Himachal Pradesh.
