Abstract

Significantly higher green cob (9.5 t/ha) and green fodder (14.9 t/ha) yieldwas produced with plant population of 1,11,111 plants/ha and remained at par with plant population of 83,333 plant/ha. Significantly lowest dry weight of weeds (24.61 and 83.47 kg/ha) were recorded in weed free check producing highest yield of green cob (10.7 t/ha) and fodder (17.1 t/ha). Application of Atrazine @ 1 kg/ha + hand weeding at 40 days after sowing was beneficial.
