Abstract
An experiment was conducted during 2003-04 and 20004-05 on loamy
sand soil of Agronomy Instructional Farm, C.P. College of Agriculture,
Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar to
study the effect of soil solarization on weed control, growth and yield of
groundnut-potato crop sequence in conjunction with cultural and chemical
method$of weed control under North Gujarat condition. Treatments consisted of
two thicknesses of TPE (0.025 mm and 0.050 mm) with three durations of soil
solarization (15, 30 and 45 days) along with cultural (weed free and hand
weeding twice plus earthing up) as well as chemical method ( Pendimethalin for
groundnut and Metribuzin for potato each @ 1.0 kg ha-1
) of weed control with
standard weedy check as controlĀ· were studied in randomized block design with
four replications.
