EFFECT OF INTEGRATED WEED MANAGEMENT ON THE GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF WHEAT (Pages : 16 - 20)

Our experiment was carried out at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Department of Agronomy, Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Mymensingh during the period from November 2019 to March 2020. The objectives of this study were to determine the influence and comparative efficiency of different weed management practices under integrated weed management of wheat. The experiment comprised three replication groups which composed of fourteen weeding regime treatments, namely, unweeded, Mulching by rice straw, Mulching by water hyacinth, Two-hand weedings at 25 and 35 DAS, Pre-emergence herbicide, Pre-emergence herbicide + hand weeding at 35 DAS, Pre-emergence herbicide + mulching by water hyacinth, Post-emergence herbicide, Stale seed bed + post-emergence herbicide, Post-emergence herbicide + hand weeding at 35 DAS, Post-emergence herbicide + mulching by rice straw, Post-emergence herbicide + mulching by water hyacinth, Pre-emergence herbicide + Post-emergence herbicide, Pre-emergence herbicide + Post-emergence herbicide + hand weeding at 35 DAS. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design. Data on different parameters were recorded. Five dominant weed species were identified in the Agronomy Field Laboratory at BAU namely Biskatali, Bothua, Panida, Mutha and Anguli. This result indicates that the application of post-emergence herbicide + mulching by rice straw could be used as the best-integrated weed control practice in wheat. But for confirmation, more studies are needed to be conducted at different AEZs of Bangladesh.Download
