Abstract

A field Experiment was conducted during rabi season in 2017-18 and 2018-19 to find out the weed control methods on growth and yield of mustard. The experiment was laid out in randomize block design with three replication. Fifteen weed control treatment was tested in the experiment. Application of pendimethalin (PE) @ 1000 g ha-1 + hand weeding at 40 DAS (T3) recorded significantly reduced density and dry weight of weed with WCE (98.46 and 99.02%), which was similar to T5, T9, T10, T11, and T12 treatments over other herbicide treatments. It resulted significantly increase growth parameters viz. Plant height, number of branch plant-1, LAI, Dry matter accumulation and grain and straw yield of mustard crop.
