Abstract

Three pre-emergence herbicides i.e. Sencor, Stomp and Tribunil were tested and compared with hand weeding and control (no weeding) on a farmer's field in the Pakhal plains of Mansehra for assessing weed control in spring potato crop. None of the herbicides showed any deleterious effect on germination. The hand weeding and the herbicide Sencor significantly controlled the weeds better than the other herbicides. The hand weeding practice significantly increased the average tuber yield but was found the most expensive. Sencor controlled weeds and increased potato yield significantly and was found to be the least expensive giving the highest marginal rate of return (14.17%) compared to other weed control measures.
