Abstract:
An experiment conducted at Research Farm, Eklavya University, Damoh, Madhya Pradesh in Kharif session 2021-22. The treatments of foliar application of weedicide/herbicide in different doses significantly influenced LAI, LAD, CGR and RGR. A progressive pattern of increase in LAI was noted up to 60 DAS and decreased at 75 DAS. Treatment continued to produce significantly highest LAI T₁₄ (1.425 days) at 30 days, T₁₄ (2.795 days) at 45 days, T₁₄ (4.468 days) at 60 days and T₁₄ (3.602 days) at 75 days. A slower rate of CGR was recorded during 45-60 DAS then again increase in rate of CGR during 60-75 was noted. Treatment sustained to produce significantly highest CGR T₁₄ (0.00107 days) at 30-45 days, T₁₄ (0.00166 days) at 45-60 days, T₁₄ (0.00314 days) at 60-75 days and T₁₃ noted minimum CGR at all growth stages.
