Abstract
The present investigation was conducted at Agronomy Research Farm, Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya (U.P.) during Rabi season of 2019-20. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized block design with three replications keeping four fertility levels viz., 100% RDF-IF (150 kg/h), 125% RDF-IF (25% through FYM), 100% RDF + 25%RDN through FYM, 75%RDF-IF+25%RDN through FYM and four weed management practices Weedy Check, Weed free up to 60 days, Sulfosulfuron @ 30 g/h + Carfentazole @ 20 g/h, Clodinafoppropagynol(60 g) + metsulfuron(4 g)=(64 g/h). Results revealed that among fertility levels application of 125% RDF-IF (25% through FYM) and in weed management practices weed free followed by125% RDF-IF (25% through FYM)+Clodinafoppropagynol (60 g) + metsulfuron (4 g)=(64 g/h) a.i ha-1 proved as superior than other treatments with respect to weed population, nutrient loss by weed, dry matter accumulation in weed, was found with the application of 125% RDF-IF (25% through FYM) and weed free treatment combination.
