Weed Management in Rice-Garlic under Organic Production System

A field experiment on weed management in rice-garlic under organic production system was conducted during 2017-18 to 2019-20 at All India Coordinated Research Project on Integrated Farming System, Rewa (M.P.). The study reveals that maximum grain yield of rice and bulb yield of garlic was noted under incorporation of mustard oilcake @ 50 quintal per hectare with one hand weeding followed by two hand weeding at different stages under organic production system. The net profit Rs/- 2,36,900/ha was maximum under two hand weeding given in rice and garlic followed by Rs/- 1,72,516 /ha under incorporation of mustard oilcake @ 50 quintal per hectare with one hand weeding as weed control treatment in both the crops. Benefit cost ratio 2.24 was maximum under two hand weeding treatment followed by 2.08 under one hoeing + one hand weeding given in rice and garlic as weed control practices under organic production system.
