Rs. Panwar et al., Response of wheat (Triticum aestivum) and associated weeds to clopyralid in combination with other herbicides, I J AGRON, 43(2), 1998, pp. 302-306
An experiment was conducted during winter season of 1990 91 and 1991 92 to
study response of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. emend. Fiori & Paol.) to herb
icides, Clopyralid + isoproturon at 375 + 750 g/ha effectively controlled C
irsium arvense (L.) Scop., Rumex maritimus L., chenopodium album L. and Pha
laris minor Retz. Fluroxypyr + isoproturon or tribenuron + isoproturon did
not control Cirsium arvense. The effects of these combinations on Phalaris
minor were more when applied 3 weeks after sowing (WAS) than at 5 weeks. Th
e grain yields of wheat following the treatments of clopyralid + isoproturo
n at 375 + 750 g/ha, fluroxypyr + isoproturon at 150 + 750 g/ha or tribenur
on + isoproturon at 7.5 + 750 g/ha each applied 3 or 5 weeks after sowing w
ere significantly more than the weedy check. Application of 2, 4-D + isopro
turon at 500 + 750 g/ha done at 5 weeks also increased the grain yield of w
heat significantly over weedy check.
