Abstract

The Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Udaipur (Rajasthan) conducted a field study during 2020-21 and 2021-22 at different weed management practices and levels of vermicompost were studied. The experiment was laid out in factorial randomized block design with three replications and 8 treatments of weed management and two level of vermicompost. Pre-emergence application of pendimethalin + imazethapyr (RM) 750 g ha-1fb one hand weeding at 40 DAS recorded significantly higher growth indices viz. CGR, RGR, NAR and LAI and seed and haulm yield during both the study years. Application of vermicompost 5 t ha-1 also observed significantly higher growth indices viz. CGR, RGR, NAR and LAI and seed and haulm yield during both the study years.

Conclusion

From the experiment, it is concluded that the pre-emergence application of pendimethalin + imazethapyr (RM) 750 g ha-1fb hand weeding at 40 DAS was best for growth in culsterbean and increased the yield of cluaterbean. Application of vemicompost 5 t ha-1 recorded significantly higher growth indices and yield of clusterbean.
