Integrated Weed Management in Linseed under South Gujarat Condition

A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2014-2015 at the College Farm, N. M. College of Agriculture, Navsari Agricultural University, to study the Integrated weed management in linseed (Linum usitatissimum Linn.) under South Gujarat condition. The experiment consisted of total twelve treatment comprising of weed management practices viz., (T1) Pendimethalin @ 750 g/ha as pre-emergence, (T2) Oxyfluorfen @ 60 g/ha as pre-emergence, (T3) Isoproturon @ 750 g/ha as post-emergence, (T4) Quizalofop ethyl @ 75 g/ha as post- emergence, (T5) T1 fb IC and HW at 30 DAS, (T6) T2 fb IC and HW at 30 DAS, (T7) T3 fb IC and HW at 30 DAS, (T8) T4 fb IC and HW at 30 DAS, (T9) Pendimethalin (T1) + Quizalofop ethyl (T4), (T10) 1 HW at 20 DAS, (T11) Weed free (IC fb by HW at 20 and 40 DAS) and (T12) Weedy check were evaluated in randomized block design with three replication. On the basis of results obtained under investigation,it seems quite logical to conclude that potential productionand profit in Rabi linseed local variety as well as weedmanagement under South Gujarat condition can be achieved byconventional method 2 hand weeding at 20 & 40 DAS, wherelabours are easily available.
