Effect of Carfentrazone-ethyl on Non-grassy Weeds and Wheat Yield

Carfentrazone-ethyl against Chenopodium album, Melilotus alba, Melilotus indica, Lathyrus aphaca, Vicia sativa, Medicago denticulata and Rumex acetosella. Its weed control efficiency at 20 g ha_-1 ranged from 90.6 to 100%. Carfentrazone at 20 and 25 g ha_-1 had better efficacy than 2, 4-D and was comparable with metsulfuron methyl. Total weed dry matter production in 2, 4-D treated plots was higher than that of carfentrazoneethyl at 15 and 25 g ha⁻¹. The grain yields recorded with carfentrazone-ethyl at 15 and 25 g ha⁻¹ and metsulfuron methyl at 4 g ha⁻¹ were similar to weed-free treatment.
