Abstract:
A field experiment was carried out at experimental farm of Agronomy section, College of Agriculture, Latur during
Kharif 2018 to study the effect of applications of pre emergence and post emergence herbicides on growth attributes of
kharif French bean (
Phaseolus vulgaris L). The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with seven treatments and replicated thrice.
Maximum Plant height plant-1 (33.87 cm) at harvest were recorded with the weed free treatment (T6) which was found at par with the Pendimethalin 30% EC @ 1.0 kg a.i. ha-1 (PE) (T1), treatment Pendimethalin 30% EC @1.0 kg a.i.ha-1(PE) + One hoeing at 30 DAS (T3) and Quizalofop-p-ethyl 5% EC @ 100 g a.i. ha-1 at 20 DAS + one hoeing at 30DAS (T4).
Maximum mean number of branches plant-1(10.10), Mean plant spread plant-1 (46.23 cm) were recorded with the weed free treatment (T6) which was found at par with the Pendimethalin 30% EC @1.0 kg a.i.ha-1(PE) + One hoeing at 30 DAS (T3) and Quizalofop-p-ethyl 5% EC @ 100 g a.i. ha-1 at 20 DAS + one hoeing at 30DAS (T4).
While, maximum total dry matter accumulation at harvest plant-1(17.27g), were recorded with the weed free treatment (T6) which was closely followed by the Pendimethalin 30% EC @1.0 kg a.i.ha-1(PE) + One hoeing at 30 DAS (T3) and Quizalofop-p-ethyl 5% EC @ 100 g a.i. ha-1 at 20 DAS + one hoeing at 30DAS (T4).
