Abstract

Kodo millet is one of the important nutri cereal crop and the extent of yield reduction due to weed is in the rage of 33-50% depending on the intensity and persistence of weed density. To find out an alternative weedicide for 75% Isoproturon due to its scarce availability in market, the experiment was conducted at AICRP on Small Millets, Bangalore during Kharif 2018, 2019 to 2020. The field experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with eleven treatments that included the application of pre-emergence application of Oxadiargyl 80 WP, Bensulfuron ethyl 0.6 G + pretilachlor 6.0 G, Butachlor 50 EC, postemergence herbicides like bispyribacsodium 10% SC and Ethoxysulfuron15 WG followed by one intercultivation at 25-30 DAS in all the herbicide imposed treatments. The results revealed that among different treatments, pre-emergent application of Butachlor 50 EC 750 g a.i./ha (within 3DAS) has recorded significantly higher grain yield (2218 kg/ha), straw yield (4815 kg/ha), ne
