Abstract
Zero tillage sowing of maize with residue mulching was found a viable alternatives method of crop establishment as compared to conventional raised bed sowing without residue. Thus, zero tillage sowing of maize with residue mulching resulted in lower weed infestation, higher productivity and economics returns. Atrazine 750 g/ha (as pre-emergence) fb 1 HW was effective in controlling weeds in maize crop.
