Abstract:

A field experiment was conducted at College of Agriculture, PJTSAU, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad (Telangana) during rainy season 2015-16 on sandy loam soil to study the weed growth, yield and nutrient uptake in greengram under different early post-emergence herbicide treatments. Lower density and dry matter of weeds was recorded with hand weeding at 20 and 40 DAS followed by haloxyfop-p-methyl 135 g/ha + imazethapyr 75 g/ha at 12-15 DAS as early post-emergence, which remained at par with quizalofop-ethyl 50 g/ha + imazethapyr 75 g/ha at 12-15 DAS. Hand weeding twice at 20 and 40 DAS showed the highest uptake of N, P and K, which was comparable with haloxyfop-p-methyl 135 g/ha + imazethapyr 75 g/ha at 12-15 DAS and quizalofop-ethyl 50 g/ha + imazethapyr 75 g/ha at 12-15 DAS. Significantly higher seed yield was observed with hand weeding at 20 and 40 DAS (1.09 t/ha) which remained at par with haloxyfop-p-methyl 135 g/ha + imazethapyr 75 g/ha at 12-15 DAS (1.03 t/ha) and quizalofop-ethyl  50 g/ha + imazethapyr 75 g/ha at 12-15 DAS (1.01 t/ha).
