Abstract
A study was carried out at Kendrapara during the rainy season (kharif) of 1990 and 1991, to determine the most effective method of weed-cont rol in jute (Corchorus capsularis L.). Application of fluchloralin @ 1 kg/ha at 3 DBS, followed by 1 hand-weeding at 35 DAS reduced the weed dry matter significantly increased the plant growth, yield attributes and fibre yield over other herbididal schedules and feteched maximum net profit. The next best treatment was pendimethalin @ 0.75 kg/ha at 1 DAS, followed by hand-weeding (twice).
