Abstract:
A field experiment entitled “Performance of Dill (Anethum graveolens L.) Under Different Weed Management Practices” was conducted during rabi 2021-22 at the Instructional Farm of Agronomy, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, MPUAT, Udaipur. The experiment consisted of thirteen treatments i.e., pendimethalin 1000 g ha^-1 PE (T₁), pendimethalin 750 g ha^-1 PE fb HW at 40 DAS (T₂), pendimethalin 750 g ha^-1 PE quizalofop ethyl 40 g ha^-1 PoE (T₃), oxadiargyl 100 g ha^-1 PE (T₄), oxadiargyl 75 g ha^-1 PE fb HW at 40 DAS(T₅), oxadiargyl 75 g ha^-1 PE fb quizalofop ethyl 40 g ha^-1 PoE (T₆), oxadiargyl 50 g ha^-1 PoE (T₇), oxyfluorfen 100 g ha^-1 PE (T₈), oxyfluorfen 75 g ha^-1 PE fb HW at 40 DAS (T₉), oxyfluorfen 75 g ha^-1 PE fb quizalofop ethyl 40 g ha^-1 PoE (T₁₀), IC fb HW at 20 & 40 DAS (T₁₁), oxadiargyl 50 g ha^-1 + propaquizafop 50 g ha^-1 PoE (T₁₂) and weedy check (T₁₃). These were replicated thrice in Randomized Block Design (RBD). At 60 DAS, the minimum grassy weed density was registered with oxyfluorfen 75 g ha^-1 PE fb HW at 40 DAS. However, the lowest broadleaved and total weed density was found with IC fb HW at 20 & 40 DAS. The maximum seed yield (1188.11 kg ha^-1) was observed under IC fb HW at 20 & 40 DAS.
