Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during two consecutive (Rabi) winter seasons (2019-20 and 2020-21) at Farm b of College of Agriculture, Ganjbasoda, Vidisha (Madhya Pradesh), to study the effect of pre emergence herbicide in chickpea. Result indicated that all weed species was minimum under weed free treatment at all the growth stages. Aming the herbicidal treatments, the lowest density of all weeds was recorded under Flurochloridone 20% CS @ 750 g a.i/ha which was at par to Flurochloridone 20% CS @ 625 g a.i/ha during both the years. The weed control efficiency was maximum under weed free plot during both the years. All the treated plots receiving either hand weeding or pre emergence application of herbicide significantly produced higher yields than weedy check.
