Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Propaquizafop 10 EC (100 g/ha) gave the lowest weed index (3.26%) among herbicide treatments in groundnut.
- Intervention effect Quizalofop ethyl 5 EC (100 g/ha) gave a weed index of 9.74%, lower than other herbicide treatments and second to propaquizafop.
- Intervention effect The weed-free control gave the highest dry pod yield (2,927 kg/ha) in groundnut.
- Intervention effect The un-weeded control gave the lowest dry pod yield (1,520 kg/ha) in groundnut.
- Intervention effect Post-emergence herbicides gave minimum weed dry weight, significantly lower than all other treatments.
- Intervention effect Pre-emergence pendimethalin gave the lowest weed control efficiency (81.6%).
- Intervention effect Propaquizafop 10 EC (100 g/ha) gave the highest gross and net monetary returns among herbicide treatments.
- Intervention effect Quizalofop ethyl 5 EC (100 g/ha) gave gross and net monetary returns at par with propaquizafop.
- Intervention effect Propaquizafop 10 EC (100 g/ha) gave the highest benefit:cost ratio, followed by quizalofop.
- Intervention effect Post-emergence herbicide application effectively controlled weeds in groundnut.
