Abstract:
An experiment was conducted to compare of bio-efficacy of Diuron 80% WP derived from new technical source with the registered formulation of Diuron 80% WP against mixed weed flora (Sedges, broad leaf weed and grassy weed) of Banana at Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Sirsi of University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad. The Significant control of grassy weeds, broad leaf weeds and sedges were obtained with Diuron 80% WP (NF) @ 1600 g a.i/ha as compared to other herbicides and untreated control and on par with Diuron 80% WP (EF) @ 1600 g a.i/ha and Diuron 80% WP (NF) @ 1200 g a.i/ha. The experimental results revealed that, higher weed control efficiency of grassy weeds was observed under all the doses of Diuron 80% WP treatments in both the formulations as compared to untreated control. The similar trend was observed with respect to fruit yield of Banana.
