The field efficacy of pre-mixture of pinoxaden plus clodinafop for control of Phalaris minor Retz. in wheat was evaluated in winter 2011-12 and 2012-13 on Research Farm, Department of Agronomy at Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana. The study comprised of pre-mixture of pinoxaden plus clodinafop 40, 50 and 60 g/ha, clodinafop 60 g/ha, pinoxaden 50 g/ha and unsprayed control. The results revealed that post-emergence application of pre-mixture of pinoxaden plus clodinafop at 50-60 g/ha recorded effective control of P. minor and recorded the highest effective tillers/m2, spike length and wheat grain yield and was significantly better than its application at 40 g/ha and clodinafop during both the years and pinoxaden alone in one year.
