Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during the Rabi season of 2019–20 at the Horticulture Complex, Maharajpur, Department of Horticulture, J.N.K.V.V. Jabalpur (M.P.) to evaluate the effect of pre-emergence herbicides on the growth and yield of garden pea cv. Kashi Nandini. The ten treatments viz. T₁ (Diquat @ 2500 ml/ha), T₂ (Diquat @ 3500 ml/ha), T₃ (Diquat @ 6000 ml/ha), T₄ (Diquat @ 12000 ml/ha), T₅ (Paraquat dichloride @ 2000 ml/ha), T₆ (Pendimethalin @ 750 ml/ha), T₇ (Oxyfluorfen @ 100 ml/ha), T₈ (Pendimethalin 30% EC + Imazethapyr 2% EC @ 750+50 ml/ha), T₉ (two hand weeding at 20 and 40 DAS) and T₁₀ (Control). T₇ (Oxyfluorfen @ 100ml/ha) was found superior to the rest of all other herbicides.
