Abstract

Effective weed control was attained under oxyfluorfen 0.26 kg a.i./ha with hand weeding (30 DAT), followed by oxyfluorfen 0.26 kg a.i./ha + oxyfluorfen 0.26 kg a.i./ha (30 DAT). The same treatments showed higher plant dry weight at 30, 60 and 90 days after transplanting (2.47, 10.52 and 12.71 g/plant respectively) and lower plant dry weight in control (unweeded) (1.40, 2.25 and 5.09 g/plant respectively). No significant differences were observed among the treatments regarding quality parameters.
