Abstract

Finger millet is important rained crop having rich source of minerals and slow initial growth makes finger millets crop more prone to weed infestation which leads to high crop-weed competition. So weed management practices become important practice for nutrient uptake and yield of crop and this research was design on focusing weed management. Afield experiment was design at research farmland, Bihar Agricultural University, Sabour, Bhagalpur to know consequence of weed management in transplanted Finger millet. Experiment was design in randomized block design (RBD) with eleven treatment and three replication viz.T1 (Weedy check) (control), T2 (Hoeing at 20 and 40 DAT), T3 (Pendimethalin @ 750 g a.i. ha-1 as pre-emergence, T4 2, 4- D @ 750 g a.i. ha-1 as post-emergence), T5 (Bispyribac sodium @ 20 g a.i. per ha as post-emergence), T6 (Pendimethalin @ 750 g a.i. ha-1 as pre-emergence fb2, 4-D @ 750 g a.i. ha-1 as post- emergence), T7 (Pendimethalin @750 g a.i. ha-1 as pre-emergence fb Bis

Keywords

Weed management, Finger millet, Nutrient uptake, Yield, Crop-weed competition.

Conclusion

Based on above facts and figure weed free treatment results in effective control of weeds but its result in highest cost of cultivation due more number of labour engaged in weeding so among different weed management practice the best treatment recoded during trail is sequential application of pendimethalin @750 g a.i. ha-1 / pretilachlor @1000 g a.i. ha-1 as pre-emergence fb bispyribac sodium @ 20 g a.i. ha-1 as post- emergence for higher yield, lower nutrient uptake by weeds and effective weed control in transplanted finger millet
