Greengram, Herbicide efficacy, Weed index, Yield attributes

A field experiment was carried out on the medium black soil of Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh (Gujarat) during summer season of 2011. The relative efficacy of pendimethalin, oxyfluorfen, fenoxaprop-p-ethyl, quizalofop-ethyl was tested applied alone or in combination with hand weeding and intercultural 30 days after sowing (DAS) to control weeds in summer green-gram. Two hand weeding with two interculturing at 20 DAS and 40 DAS proved its superiority over rest of the weed management in summer green gram.  Among herbicidal treatment, application of quizalofop-ethyl at 20 DAS and fenoxaprop-p-ethyl at 20 DAS was found to be relatively more effective in controlling weeds than their sole application.
