Abstract

A field experiment was conducted for two years (1976–77 and 1977–78) at Students’ Instructional Farm, Kanpur to find out the optimum dose and appropriate time of application of Tribunil and Igran for the control of Phalaris minor in dwarf wheat under sandy loam soil of central U.P. The study revealed that pre-emergence application of Tribunil or Igran at 1.0 kg ai/ha controlled Phalaris minor to a desired level and resulted into equal or highest grain production to that obtained by weed free treatment. Early post-emergence application of Tribunil or Igran at 25 days stage at 1.0 kg ai/ha proved the next alternative for the control of this obnoxious weed in normal sown irrigated dwarf wheat.
