Response of Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik) and Weeds to different Weed Management Practices under Temperate Conditions
Abstract
An experiment was conducted in Rabi season to evaluate the effect of handweedings, pendimethaline and fluchloralin alone and in combinations on different weed species and seed yield of lentil under temperate conditions. Although fluchlorin + HW at 150 and 180 DAS was equally found good for reducing weed population but its effectiveness could not match with pendimethaline + HW at 150 and 180 DAS with respect to yield. The season long competition causes reduction in yield by 52.52 % and 53.19 % during 2004-05 and 2005-06 respectively. Significantly higher yield was obtained under weed a free condition which was at par with pendimethaline+ HW at 150 and 180 DAS.References
