Abstract

A field experiment consisting of four seed rates and five weed control methods in split plot design was conducted in direct seeded rice (Oryza sativa L.). The results revealed that optimum seed rate for DSR was 17.5 kg/ha and best weed control was achieved with PRE of pendimethalin @ 1.0 kg/ha fb POE bispyribac @ 25 g/ha + ready-mixchlorimuron + metsulfuron 4 g/ha at 30 DAS fb one HW 60 DAS.
