Development of Efficient Weed Management Practices for Drilled Paddy Production under Gujarat condition

To study the weed management in drilled paddy an experiment was conducted at AgricultureResearchStation,AnandAgriculturalUniversity,DerolDist:panchmahal, Gujarat during kharif seasons of the years 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16.Tentreatmentsforweedmanagement were studied in randomized block design with four replications. Results that all the growth and yield attributes except plant height and test weight were significantly influenced due to different weed control treatments. The grain and straw yield of drilled paddy were also altered significant due to weed control treatments.Ingeneral,T(twohand2weeding at 20 and 40 DAS) recorded the highest yield among all. It was, however, at par with three other treatments which includedpreandpostemergenceapplicationofherbicides.Since,theapplication of Oxadiargyl @ 90 g/ha f/bBisbyribac sodium @ 25 g/ha at 20 DAS is one among the dual application of herbicide, it can be recommended for drilled paddy in options of two hand weeding
