Abstract

Field studies were conducted in 2008-09 and 2009-10 at Pulse Research Area of Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar to determine the effect of post emergence herbicides on nutrient uptake by field pea and weeds. All the herbicide treatments significantly reduced the nutrient uptake by weeds than weedy check. Among the herbicide treatments, minimum and maximum uptake of nutrients by weeds and crop, respectively was recorded under the application of pendimethalin 1.5 kg ha^-1 followed by imazethapyr 50 g ha^-1.

Abstract

The field experiment was laid out at Horticulture Research Farm of Gochar Mahavidhalaya, Rampur Maniharan, Saharanpur (Uttar Pradesh) during 2011-2012. The eleven treatments,T₁ - Recommended dose of NPK/ha (120 kg:80 kg:60 kg), T₂ - Half dose of NPK/ha + FYM @ 15 tonnes/ha, T₃ - Half dose of NPK/ha + Azospirillum @ 5 kg/ha, T₄ - Half dose of NPK/ha + FYM @ 15 tonnes/ha + Azospirillum @ 5 kg/ ha, T₅ - Half dose of NPK/ha + VAM @ 5 kg/ha, T₆ - Half dose of NPK/ha + FYM @ 15 tonnes/ha + VAM@ 5 kg/ha, T₇ - Half dose of NPK/ ha + FYM @ 15 tonnes/ha + Azospirillum @ 5 kg/ha + VAM @ 5 kg/ha, T₈ - Half dose of NPK/ha + Vermicompost @ 2.5 tonnes/ha, T₉ - Half dose of NPK/ha + vermicompost @ 2.5 tonnes/ha + Azospirillum @ 5 kg/ha, T₁₀ - Half dose of NPK/ha + vermicompost @ 2.5 tonnes/ha + VAM @ 5 kg/ha, T₁₁ - Half dose of NPK/ha + vermicompost @ 2.5 tonnes/ha + Azospirillum @ 5 kg/ha + VAM @ 5 kg/ha were evaluated in Randomized Block Design with the three replication. The treatment T11 registered significantly higher value plant height (62.02cm), number of leaves/plant (25.67), width of leaf (25.53cm), length of stalk (12.08cm), spread of the plant (64.38cm), diameter of curd (19.20cm), weight of curd (953.31g), yield of curd (267.30q/ha) as compared to rest of the treatments.
