Abstract
Dill (Anethum graveolens L.) is a minor aromatic seed spice crop grown on residual soil moisture. Since itââ¬â¢s a long duration crop (140-150 days), weed menace is a major problem in it, keeping this in view, a research experiment was conducted during rabi 2020-21 & 2021-22 at MPUAT, Udaipur. The experiment consisted of thirteen treatments that were applied to dill in a three replication randomized block design (RBD). Among the herbicidal weed management treatments, post-emergence (15 DAS) application of oxadiargyl 75 g ha-1 PE fb HW at 40 DAS resulted in the lowest weed density and dry matter of grassy and broadleaved weeds with maximum weed control efficiency at harvest during both experimental years. Further, this treatment recorded lower nutrient uptake by weeds.
