Efficacy of Metsulfuron-methyl on Weeds in Wheat and its Residual Effects on Succeeding Soybean Crop Grown on Vertisols of Rajasthan
Abstract
In wheat broadleaf weeds were dominant (82.87%) especially infested by Chenopodium spp. Application of metsulfuron-methyl was very effective against the broad-leaf weeds and did not have residual effect on succeeding soybean crop. Metsulfuron methyl at 4 g ha−1 was most effective in controlling broadleaf weeds and better than 2, 4-D and farmers practice in increasing wheat yield.
