Abstract:

Experiment was carried out during Kharif, 2015 at Agricultural College Farm, Bapatla. Among the herbicides tested, pre-emergence application of atrazine 1.0 kg/ha + post-emergence application of halosulfuron-methyl 90 g/ha registered the lowest density (no./m2) and biomass of weeds (g/ha) and highest weed control efficiency (%) and yield of maize and this was statistically at par with pre-emergence application of pendimethalin 1.5 kg/ha + post-emergence application of halosulfuron-methyl 90 g/ha.
