Abstract

It was however statistically at same level with the grain yield of 1837 kg ha-1 where an integration of Derby 175Sc and Pallas*45 OD was applied @ (0.45L/ha) and (60ml/ha) respectively. All the herbicidal applications out yielded the control. Single application of herbicide was less effective than integration weed managements. It is thus recommended that Derby + Pallas, 2, 4-D
