Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted at the lovely professional university farm, Phagwara to study the effect of integrated weed management in maize (Zea mays L.) variety i.e SV 221 (shaktivardhak seeds) was sown under various treatments, T1 (weed check), T2 (RDF+ metolachlor @1.5l/ha), T3 (RDF+ hand weeding+ Metolachlor@1.5l/ha), T4 (RDF+ Laudis@115ml/acre), T5(RDF +hand weeding+ Laudis@115ml/acre), T6(RDF+2,4D@400ml/ha+ hand weeding), (RDF+ hand weeding). Different growth and yield parameters were recorded during the research work, among all the treatments T3 (RDF + hand weeding+ metolachlor@1.5l/ha) was found to be more effective and record maximum growth and yield parameters and T1 (control) records maximum number of weeds, from the analysis of research done, it has been concluded that T3 (RDF+ hand weeding+ metolachlor@1.5l/ha) was found to be more effective among all other treatments.
