HERBICIDAL WEED-CONTROL IN SOYBEAN (GLYCINE-MAX)

A field study conducted during 1992 and 1993 at Indore revealed that a pplication of clomozon @ 1.5 kg ai/ha as pre-emergence, fluchloralin @ 1 kg ai/ha as pre-plant incorporation, alachlor (10 G) @ 2 kg ai/ha a s pre-emergence, alachlor (50 EC) @ 2 kg ai/ha as pre-emergence and 2 hand-weedings at 30 and 45 days after sowing were effective in control ling weeds in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]. These treatments also gave higher grain yield of soybean. The sethuoxydim @ 1.5 kg ai/ha as post-emergence spray was least effective in controlling weeds and had minimum impact on enhancing yield over the control.
