Abstract

A field experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of different weed management practices on growth, yield and quality of ajwain (Trachyspermum ammi L.). The study employed randomized block design with twelve treatments and three replications. Findings revealed that, after weed-free check, oxyfluorfen 0.080 kg/ha PE fb propaquizafop 0.050 kg/ha PoE at 30 DAS treatment exhibited the highest plant growth parameters such as plant height, fresh and dry weight of the plant. Yield parameters such as seed yield per hectare, number of umbels per plant, number of umbellates per umbel and number of seeds per umbellate. The seed yield was found significantly higher (781.67 kg ha-1) in weed-free check (T11), which was on par with oxyfluorfen 0.080 kg ha-1 PE fb propaquizafop 0.050 kg ha-1 PoE at 30 DAS (T6) (700.00 kg ha-1).

Conclusion

Based on the current study's findings, it is possible to conclude that oxyfluorfen 0.08 kg ha-1 PE fb propaquizafop 0.050 kg ha-1 PoE at 30 DAS can provide good weed management resulting in increased plant growth and lucrative seed yield in ajwain during the rabi season.
