Abstract:
The experiment was conducted at College of Agriculture and Research Station, Janjgir-Champa, IGKV, Raipur (C.G.) during rabi season 2016-17 and 2017-18 to find out the effect of integrated weed management on growth, yield and quality in rabi onion (Allium cepa L.). The 14 treatments comprised of pendimethalin @ 1.5 kg ha^-1 as PE, pendimethalin @ 1.5 kg ha^-1 as PE fb one hand weeding at 45 DAT, pendimethalin @ 1.5 kg ha^-1 as PE fb fenoxaprop-p-ethyl 0.080 kg ha^-1 as PoE at 45 DAT, oxyfluorfen @ 0.25 kg ha^-1 as PE, oxyfluorfen @ 0.25 kg ha^-1 as PE fb one hand weeding at 45 DAT, oxyfluorfen @ 0.25 kg ha^-1 as PE fb fenoxaprop-p-ethyl 0.080 g ha^-1 as PoE at 45 DAT, oxadiargyl @ 0.080 kg ha^-1 as PE, oxadiargyl @ 0.080 kg ha^-1 as PE fb one hand weeding at 45 DAT, oxadiargyl @ 0.080 kg ha^-1 as PE fb fenoxaprop-p-ethyl 0.080 kg ha^-1 as PoE at 45 DAT, propaquizofop 5% + oxyfluorfen 12% @ 0.15 kg ha^-1 PE, pendimethalin @ 1.0 kg ha^-1 PE fb propaquizofop 0.05 kg ha^-1 PoE at 45 DAT, oxadiargyl @ 0.070 kg ha^-1 PE fb propaquizofop 0.05 kg ha^-1 PoE at 45 DAT, Two hand weeding at 20 and 50 DAT and weedy check. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications. Onion variety “Agrifound Light Red” was grown as a test crop.
