INFLUENCE OF TANK MIXTURE OF ISOPROTURON AND FLUROXYPYR ON THE CONTROL OF WEEDS IN WHEAT (TRITICUM-AESTIVUM)

A 2-year field study conducted at Hisar during 1989-90 and 1990-91 ind icated that fluroxypyr was more effective against wild pea (Lathyrus a phaca L.) than lambsquarter (Chenopodium album L.), while 2, 4-D and i soproturon were more effective against lambsquarter than wild pea. Tan k mixture of fluroxypyr 0.20 kg/ha + isoproturon 0.75 kg/ha applied 30 days after sowing provided effective control of grasses and broad-lea f weeds in wheat (Triticum aestivum L. emend. Fiori & Paol.) and gave grain yield at par to that obtained in weed-free check.
