Abstract
A field experiment entitled “Bio-efficacy and phytotoxicity of new herbicide
molecules for effective weed management in direct seeded rice (Oryza sativa L.)” was
conducted at the Main Research Station, University of Agricultural Sciences, Hebbal,
Bengaluru, during Kharif 2018. Nine herbicide treatments including four new herbicide
molecules (carfentrazone, ethoxysulfuron, penoxsulam + cyhalofop and triafamone +
ethoxysulfuron) at 15 DAS, bispyribac sodium at 15 DAS, pyrazosulfuron, oxadiargyl,
bensulfuron methyl + pretilachlor, pendimethalin at 3 DAS, passing cycle weeder
followed by hand weeding at 20 and 35 DAS and unweeded control were replicated
thrice in RCBD. Major weeds observed were Cyperus rotundus, Cynodon dactylon,
Dactyloctenium aegyptium, Ageratum conyzoides, Borreria articularis, Commelina
benghalensis. Post emergence application of triafamone + ethoxysulfuron 30% WG (RM)
60 g a.i./ha at 15 DAS fb passing cycle weeder and hand weeding at 35 DAS recorded
significantly higher rice grain yield, net returns and B:C ratio (5491 kg ha-1
, Rs. 59,240
ha-1
and 2.58, respectively) and was on par with passing cycle weeder followed by hand
weeding at 20 and 35 DAS (5618 kg ha-1
, Rs. 57,434 ha-1
and 2.39, respectively)
followed by bensulfuron methyl + pretilachlor 6.6% G 660 g a.i./ha within 3 DAS fb
passing cycle weeder and hand weeding at 30 DAS (5122 kg ha-1
, Rs. 54163 ha-1
and
2.47, respectively) without any phytotoxicity on direct seeded rice. Unweeded control
recorded significantly lower rice grain yield, net returns and B:C ratio (1400 kg ha
-1
, Rs.-
1084 ha
-1
, 0.96, respectively) and higher weed index (75.08%) compared to other
treatments.
