Chemical Weed Control in Cynodon dactylon Lawn
Abstract
Evaluation of certain herbicide treatments for weed management in Cynodon dactylon lawn during 1994 and 1995 in Palampur revealed that Paspalum dilatatum was the major weed. Atrazine 4 kg/ha caused significant reduction in number of P. dilatatum. total grasses, total weeds and dry weight of total weeds per unit area. Hand weeding once and atrazine 2 kg/ha were statistically comparable with atrazine 4 kg/ha. Treatment with atrazine 2 kg/ha was statistically comparable with atrazine 4 kg/ha. Treatment with atrazine 2 kg/ha was cost effective as com pared to other treatments.
