Abstract
A field experiment was conducted with barnyard millet: (Echinochloa fr umentacea Link) during the rainy (kharif) season of 1990 and 1991 unde r rainfed condition. Application of 2,4-D Na-salt @ 1.0 kg a.i./ha as post-emergence at 15 days after sowing gave the maximum grain (15.73 q /ha) and straw (83.50 q/ha) yields of the millet. The maximum weed-con trol efficiency (74.4%) and monetary returns (Rs 3,357.70/ha) were als o obtained with 2,4-D Na-salt applied @ 1.0 kg a.i./ha.
