Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted at Regional Research station (RRS), Karnal, Haryana (India) during spring season. Field was randomized block design and comprises of eighteen treatments of different herbicides with or without combination. Highest yield attributes
i.e. cob length, cob placement height, number of seed rows per cob, number of grain per cob, 100 grain weight, grain weight per cob, cob yield with or without husk, grain yield and stove yield were recorded with alachlor 2000 g ha
