    INTEGRATED WEED MANAGEMENT IN TURMERIC (Curcuma longa L.) UNDER MID HILL CONDITIONS OF HIMACHAL PRADESH
    (CSKHPKV, Palampur, 2018-08) Ankit; Bindra, A.D.
    The field experiment was carried out at Palampur with twelve weed control treatments viz. metribuzin at 0.70 kg/ha followed by (fb) hand weeding at 45 and 75 days after planting (DAP), metribuzin at 0.70 kg/ha fb straw mulch at 10 t/ha fb hand weeding at 75 DAP, pendimethalin at 1 kg/ha fb hand weeding at 45 and 75 DAP, pendimethalin at 1 kg/ha fb straw mulch at 10 t/ha fb hand weeding at 75 DAP, atrazine at 0.75 kg/ha fb hand weeding at 45 and 75 DAP, atrazine at 0.75 kg/ha fb straw mulch at 10 t/ha fb hand weeding at 75 days, oxyfluorfen at 0.30 kg/ha fb hand weeding at 45 and 75 DAP, glyphosate at 1.23 kg/ha fb hand weeding at 45 and 75 days, glyphosate at 1.85 kg/ha fb hand weeding at 45 and 75 DAP, hand weeding at 25, 45 and 75 DAP, weed control with organic practice (mulch fb HW) and unweeded check in randomized block replicated thrice. The soil of the test site was silty clay loam in texture, acidic in reaction, high in available phosphorus, medium in available potassium and low in available N. Alternanthera philoxeroides was the major weed constituting 16 per cent of the total weed flora. This was followed by Cynodon dactylon and Echinochloa colona with 14 and 12 per cent of total weed population, respectively, at 120 DAP. Metribuzin fb straw mulch fb hand weeding and metribuzin fb hand weeding twice were comparable and resulted in significantly lower population of Echinochloa colona, Alternanthera philoxeroides, Ageratum conyzoides and Digitaria sanguinalis. Metribuzin 0.70 kg/ha fb straw mulch 10 t/ha fb hand weeding; metribuzin 0.70 kg/ha fb hand weeding twice and atrazine 0.75 kg/ha fb hand weeding twice being at par with each other resulted in significantly higher fresh rhizome yield over other treatments. Metribuzin 0.70 kg/ha / pendimethalin 1 kg/ha / atrazine 0.75 kg/ha each fb straw mulch fb hand weeding increased fresh rhizome and cured rhizome yield more than double over weedy check. Higher fresh rhizome yield (9.02 t/ha), gross returns (INR 225463/ha), net returns (INR 95318/ha) and net returns per rupee invested (0.73) were obtained from metribuzin 0.70 kg/ha fb straw mulch 10 t/ha fb hand weeding.
