Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at Anbil Dharmalingam Agricultural College and Research Institute, Tiruchirappalli during summer, 2021 to evaluate the performance of different weed management practices in green gram. The study comprised of eleven weed management practices with different combination viz., pre emergence, post emergence and hand weeding were tested. Total weed density, weed dry weight, weed control efficiency and yield of green gram were recorded. The results revealed that the lowest total weed density, total weed dry weight, higher weed control efficiency, grain and haulm yields were registered in application of PE Pendimethalin+ Imazethapyr 1 kg/ha fb POE Fluazifop-p-butyl +Fomesafen 313 g/ha and it was followed by PE Pendimethalin + Imazethapyr 1 kg/ha fb POE Acifluorfen sodium + Clodinofop propargyl 187.5 g/ha.
