Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during kharif seasons of the years 2011–2013 at the farm of DWSR-Anand Centre, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand (Gujarat) to study the integrated efficacy of various herbicides applied as pre-and post-emergence in greengram (Vigna radiata). Among the different weed management practices, inter-culturing and hand weeding carried out at 20 and 40 DAS were found most efficient having lowest weed dry weight with higher weed control efficiency. Further, pre-emergence application of pendimethalin @ 500 g/ha or imazethapyr 75 g/ha followed by interculturing and hand weeding at 30 DAS proved to be efficient in reducing weed dry weight, higher weed control efficiency and recording higher seed and haulm yield of greengram.
