Abstract:

Effects of ten diversified rice based cropping sequences on weed dynamics were evaluated at Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh) in different season during 2016-17 and 2017-18. The results revealed that density of Cyperus spp., Cynodon dactylon and Digitaria sanguinalis was significantly lowest in rice-potato-greengram sequence but it remained at par with rice-berseem-cowpea fodder, rice-cabbage-cowpea fodder and rice-potato-cowpea fodder during second year in rainy season. Dry weight of Digitaria sanguinalis was significantly lowest under rice-potato-greengram sequence. During winter season, significantly lower density and dry weight of Medicago denticulata, Chenopodium album as well as total weeds were recorded in mustard (rice-mustard-cowpea fodder), though it was found similar with mustard (rice-mustard-sudan grass fodder), potato (rice-potato-greengram and rice-potato-cowpea fodder) and wheat (rice-wheat, rice-wheat-greengram and rice-wheat-cowpea fodder). While, density of Cynodon dactylon was markedly lower in wheat (rice-wheat) it was on a par with mustard (rice-mustard-sudan grass fodder), potato (rice-potato-green gram, rice-potato-cowpea fodder) and wheat (rice-wheat-greengram, rice-wheat-cowpea fodder). During summer season, cowpea grown in rice-cabbage-cowpea fodder recorded significantly lower density as well as dry weight of Cyperus rotundus, Cynodon dactylon as well as total weeds. Grain yield of rice was significantly higher in rice-berseem-cowpea fodder. During winter season, berseem in rice-berseem-cowpea fodder sequence out yielded all the other crops. However, in summer, sudan grass in rice-mustard-sudan grass fodder produced the highest green fodder yield.
