Abstract:
The field investigation was conducted at the Instructional Farm, College of Agriculture, Jodhpur during the Kharif season of 2019 on pearl millet. Twelve treatments were undertaken and replicated thrice. Amongst weed management treatments, weed-free recorded significantly higher growth attributes as compared to other treatments, but it was equally effective with the application of atrazine 50% WP @ 500 g a.i. ha^-1 (PE) followed by one hand weeding at 30 DAS showed significantly greater efficacy at all stages of crop growth and recorded higher growth, yield attributes and yield viz., plant height (cm), dry matter accumulation (g plant^-1), plant population at all stages of crop growth, 1000-seed weight, productivity, grain and stover yield over rest of the treatments.
