e0“mechanical weeding twice at 15 and 30 DAS proved the most effective treatment in reducing weeds dry weight which was on a par with sulfosulfuron 25 g/ha, and gave significantly higher grain yield and NPK uptake by wheat than weedy check”

Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Higher seed rates reduced weed dry weight.
- Intervention effect A 125 kg/ha seed rate raised grain yield relative to 75 kg/ha.
- Intervention effect A 125 kg/ha seed rate raised grain yield relative to 150 kg/ha.
- Observation The 125 kg seed rate had maximum net return, benefit: cost ratio and NPK uptake.
- Intervention effect Twice mechanical weeding reduced weed dry weight, comparable to sulfosulfuron.
- Intervention effect Mechanical weeding raised grain yield by 35.4–45.1 per cent over weedy check.
- Observation Sulfosulfuron produced the highest net return.
- Observation Sulfosulfuron produced the highest benefit: cost ratio.
- Recommendation The authors recommend sulfosulfuron at 30 DAS and 125 kg seeds/ha for wheat productivity and profitability.
