Comparative Efficacy of Different Weed Management Strategies in Wheat

Weed management programs should focus on environmental safety along with benefits to the farmer. We evaluated the effects of various weed control methods: ’daab’ practice (stale seed bed technique), manual hoeing, and the chemical method (mixture of Buctril Super 60EC [bromoxynil...

Comparative Efficacy of Different Weed Management Strategies in Wheat
description Weed management programs should focus on environmental safety along with benefits to the farmer. We evaluated the effects of various weed control methods: ’daab’ practice (stale seed bed technique), manual hoeing, and the chemical method (mixture of Buctril Super 60EC [bromoxynil + MCPA]0.45 kg ai ha-1 and Puma Super 75EW [fenoxaprop-P-ethyl] 0.75 kg ai ha-1) in combination with different planting geometries: 22.5 cm apart single row, 22.5 cm apart crisscross double row, 30 cm apart single row and broadcast sowings on weed control and grain yield of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) var.
