Author(s): RR Upasani and Sheela Barla
Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi during Kharif season of 2014-15 and 2015-16. The treatments comprised of pendimethalin @ 1.5 kg/ha after planting but before mulching (T1), oxyfluorfen @ 0.20 kg/ha after planting but before mulching (T2), T1+ 1 hand weeding before mulching (T3), T2 + 1 hand weeding before mulching (T4), glyphosate 0.80 kg/ha just before emergence of sprouts of ginger (T5), glyphosate 0.80 kg/ha + pendimethalin 1.5 kg/ha just before emergence of sprouts of ginger (T6), glyphosate 0.80 kg/ha + Oxyfluorfen 0.2 kg/ha just before emergence of sprouts of ginger (T7), Hand weedings at 25 and 50 DAS (T8) and unweeded control (T9). The result revealed that total weeds and their dry matter accumulation were significantly controlled by glyphosate 0.80 kg/ha + oxyfluorfen 0.2 kg/ha applied just before emergence of sprouts of ginger having highest weed control efficiency (90%) as it controlled weeds effectively than rest of the treatments and recorded maximum ginger rhizome yield (29 t/ha), net return (₹9,52,230/-) and B:C ratio (4.59).
