Abstract

AbstractA field experiment was conducted at Research Farm, Division of Agronomy, Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Jammu during Kharif 2020 to evaluate the influence of pre- and post-emergence herbicides on weeds and yield of direct- seeded rice. The experiment was laid out in factorial randomized block design with three replications. The treatments evaluated in the study include: pre-emergence application of (PE) pendimethalin 1.0 kg/ha, pyrazosulfuron-ethyl 20 g/ha PE, pretilachlor 600 g/ha PE, pretilachlor + pyrazosulfuron ethyl 615 PE g/ha, post- emergence application (PoE) of bispyribac-sodium 25 g/ha PoE at 25 DAS, penoxsulam + cyhalofop-butyl 135 g/ha PoE at 25 DAS, triafamone + ethoxysulfuron 66.5 g/ha PoE at 25 DAS along with un-weeded control. Major weeds observed were: Echinochloa spp., Dactyloctenium aegyptium, Cynodon dactylon, Caesulia axillaris, Cyperus spp. and Phyllanthus niruri. Pretilachlor + pyrazosulfuron-ethyl 615 g/ha PE recorded significantly lower weed density and dry biomass at harvest with maximum weed control efficiency (87.10 %), higher grain yield, net returns and benefit: cost ratio (1.99). Amongst, post-emergent herbicides, triafamone + ethoxysulfuron 66.5 g/ha PoE at 25 DAS recorded minimum weed density, weed biomass with highest weed control efficiency (82.61%) at harvest, higher rice grain yield, net returns and benefit cost ratio (2.02).

8 of 10 groups shown: named compounds and organisms first, then groups whose results differ (checked claim by claim), then those with positive and negative results, then the smaller groups.

Claims are grouped by organism, treatment and what was measured or targeted. A paper counts as positive when any of its claims in the group is positive.
