    Weed Management in Dry Direct Seeded Rice (Oryza sativa L.) in Bundelkhand Region
    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001,Uttar Pradesh, India, 2022-08-05) Pal, Sudhir; Sah, Dinesh
    Rice production systems are undergoing several changes and one of such changes is shift from transplanted rice to direct seeding. Direct seeding rice serves several advantages i.e. saves labour, faster and easier planting helps in timely sowing, less drudgery, early crop maturity by 7-10 days, less water requirement, high tolerance to water deficit, often high yield, low production cost and more profit, better soil physical condition and less methane emission. Despite several advantages, various production obstacles are also encountered and heavy weed infestation is major one. Weeds cause heavy damage to direct seeded crop which can be to the tune of 5-100%. Considering these facts experiment was carried out at research Farm, College of Agriculture, Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda during Kharif season of 2021. The research was carried out to find out the cost effective herbicide for controlling weeds and to fine tune the dose of herbicide with the impact of weed management practices on growth and yield of rice under dry direct seeded conditions. The field experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The treatment contains: T1 - Weedy Check, T2 - Weed Free, T3 - Pendimethalin 1000g PE, T4 - Pendimethalin 1000g PE fb 2, 4-D 1000g PoE, T5 - Pendimethalin 1000g PE fb Almix (Metsulfuron methyl + Chlorimuron Ethyl) 4g PoE, T6 - Bispyribac Sodium 20g PoE, T7 – Pyrazosulfuron 20g PoE, T8 -Penoxulam 25g PoE and T9 - Brown manuring. During investigation several kind of weed flora observed in experimental crop were Echinochloa crusgalli, Brachiaria reptans, Phyllanthus niruri, Centella asiatica, Digera arvensis, Corchorus trilocularis, Crotolaria medicaginea, Abutilon theophasthi, and Cyperus rotundus. Among observed weeds some were present in field during whole period of crop growth, while some were in part of crop duration. Among several weeds grassy weeds were in majority followed by BLWs and Sedges. Among grassy weeds Echinochloa crusgalli was in majority fb Brachiaria reptans, likewise among broad leave weeds Centella asiatica was major. Among herbicidal treatments Pendimethalin1000g PE fb Almix (Metsulfuron methyl + Chlorimuron Ethyl) 4g PoE (T5) treatment proved efficient method of weed management with higher weed control efficiency (%). Considering rice yield and economics pendimethalin 1000g applied as pre emergence along with 500l of water followed by Almix (Metsulfuron methyl + Chlorimuron Ethyl) 4g PoE (25 DAS) along with 400l of water found cost effective and profitable option for weed management in dry direct seeded rice.
