Abstract
Significantly higher grain yield and straw yield (4.29 and 6.45 t/ha, respectively), was recorded with pre-emergence application of bensulfuron-methyl (0.6% G) + pretilachlor (6.0% G) at 1.0 kg/ha as compared to pre-emergence application of butachlor 50 EC at 0.75 kg/ha (3.19 and 4.63 t/ha, respectively) and un-weeded check (1.54 and 2.24 t/ha, respectively). Similar trend was also observed with respect to the growth and yield parameters of fingermillet.
