AbstractAbstract
[en] This study was carried out with a view to determining the response of wheat cv. Sandal to herbicidal weed control. The plant height was influenced by various herbicidal treatments. But maximum height was obtained by bromoxynil - MCPA (Buctil-M) fallowed by isoproturon (TolKan). Similarly maximum number of fertile tillers per plant, flag leaf area, ear length, yield (Kg/ha) and number of spikelet per ear were observed at bromoxynil-MCPA, Isoproturon (Tolkan), hand weeding and 2-4-D (DMA-6) treatments. But the number of grains per ear did not vary much in response to various herbicidal treatments. However, maximum 1000 grain weight and herbicidal activity index (HAI) were obtained by brombromoxynil-MCPA. The results show that post-emergence herbicides applied as low as 1.3 Kg ai/ha and supplemented with one hand weeding can give optimum crop yield and will there fore be an ideal recommendation to farmers with little experience in the use of herbicides.
