Abstract:

In present study, biomass production and nutrient status (NPK) of weeds in three land use systems (canal bunds, fallow land and in cultivated land) at two locations (Ludhiana and Sangrur) of Punjab was analyzed throughout year (Jan-Dec 2017) at monthly interval. In case of land use systems fallow land (Sangrur) was recorded to have maximum total biomass (5.73 t/ha), nitrogen (96.9 kg/ha), phosphorus (21.5 kg/ha) and potassium (85.9 kg/ha). With respect to months, total maximum weed biomass production (7.40 t/ha), nitrogen (147.8 kg/ha), phosphorus (27.8 kg/ha) and potassium (125.8 kg/ha) was recorded in July. Thus from present data it is revealed that weeds which grow lavishly in fallow lands of Punjab possess high nutrient value and dry matter production of weeds in this land use system increased with heavy rainfall.
