Abstract
A field experiment was conducted to evaluate relative performance of weed management practices in sugarcane ratoon during 2006-09 at Padegaon, Maharashtra. Trash mulching between all rows with recommended practice recorded significantly higher cane yield (98 t/ha), which was at par with trash mulching in alternate rows + hoeings at 1st and 6th week after ratoon initiation (95.3 t/ha) and three hoeings at 1, 4 and 7 weeks after ratoon initiation (94.0 t/ha). Highest net returns (69,719/ha) and B:C ratio (2.83) were observed due to trash mulching between all rows for sugarcane ratoon with recommended practice.
