Abstract:
The performance of the experiment under conducted was of ragi at the Instructional cum Research Farm, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur, Chhattisgarh during kharif seasons 2021 and 2022. Indira Ragi 1 was used as the test crop in the field experiment, and it was set up using a randomised block design (RBD) with 10 treatments and 3 replications. The results of the trial showed that all yield attribute and yield viz., Significantly greater numbers of finger^-1, length of finger (cm), number of seeds finger^-1, number of finger plant^-1 (g), test weight (g), and harvest index (%) were observed. under Pyrazosulfuron ethyl 10% 20 g/ha (PE) fb Chlorimuron ethyl 10% + Metsulfuron methyl 10% 4 g/ha (PoE) which was followed by Hand weeding twice at 20 and 40 DAS. The yield and all of its characteristics maximum in both kharif seasons. i.e. seed and straw yield of finger millet (Mean viz., 2719 and 8167 kg ha^-1) were also found maximum under Pyrazosulfuron ethyl 10% 20 g/ha (PE) fb Chlorimuron ethyl 10% + Metsulfuron methyl 10% 4 g/ha (PoE) which was highest in comparison to the different weed management treatments.
