HERBICIDES AMALGAMATION ON WEED MANAGEMENT AND YIELD OF DSR

This book presents a study on herbicide amalgamation for effective weed management in direct-seeded puddled lowland rice. Weed infestation is a major constraint in direct-seeded rice systems, leading to severe competition for nutrients, water, light, and space, which ultimately reduces crop growth and yield. The study evaluates the efficiency of different combinations of pre-emergence and post-emergence herbicides in controlling weeds and improving crop productivity. The findings reveal that suitable herbicide combinations significantly reduce weed density and improve weed control efficiency, resulting in better crop growth and higher grain and straw yield compared to untreated conditions. The research highlights the importance of integrated weed management practices to ensure efficient weed control, reduce labor dependency, and enhance productivity in direct-seeded rice cultivation. The outcomes of this study provide useful insights for researchers, students, and farmers aiming to improve the sustainability and profitability of rice production systems.
