Abstract:
The experiment titled "Effect of herbicides on performance of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) and weed dynamics for Chhattisgarh " was performed at the Instructional cum Research Farm, IGKV, Raipur (C.G.) during the 2020-21 rabi season. The experimental field featured neutral soil pH, characterized by low N, medium P, and high K levels. The research followed a randomized block design (RBD) with 3 replications, incorporating a total of 15 distinct herbicidal treatments.On November 15, 2020, the chickpea variety 'Indira Chana 1' was sown, utilizing a seed rate of 80 kg per hectare and spaced at 30 cm intervals, and the crop was successfully harvested on March 5, 2021.
The results demonstrated that Treatment 8: Metribuzin followed by Topramezone 350-25.8 gram per hectare 0-3 Days After Sowing and 2-3 Leaf stage of weed significantly outperformed other treatments in terms of plant population (per square meter), plant height (centimeter), number of branches per plant, dry matter accumulation (gram per plant), number of nodules per plant, dry weight of nodules per plant, yield attributes, seed yield (kilogram per hectare), stover yield (kilogram per hectare), and harvest index (percent). However, it was par with Treatment 14: hand weeding twice at 20 and 40 Days After Sowing and Treatment 9: Metribuzin followed by Topramezone 350-25.8 gram per hectare 0-3 Days After Sowing and 5-6 Leaf stage of weed. The lowest values for the mentioned characteristics were observed in the unweeded control plot (Treatment 15).
In the experimental field, the dominant weed species observed were Medicago denticulata L., Cichorium intybus L., and Chenopodium album L. Additionally, Echinochloa colona L. and Cynodon dactylon L. were also present.
