e0“The sorghum crop was infested with grassy, broad- leaf weeds and sedges, which reduced 28.1 and 32.7% of green-fodder and dry-fodder yields respectively”
e1“Hand- weeding (at 20 and 30 days after sowing)”
e3“These 2 treatments enhanced the green-fodder yield by 39.0 and 36.7% and dry-fodder yield by 48.5 and 45.1% respectively, over weedy check”
