Abstract

Effect of weed management and boro rice cultivars on growth and yield of boro rice and weeds was evaluated for three seasons. Cultivar ‘Gautam’ recorded the highest grain yield of 4.12 t ha−1 and cultivar ‘Prabhat’ proved better in minimizing the weed infestation. Application of butachlor at 1.5 kg pre-emergence+2,4-D at 0.5 kg ha−1 post-emergence produced grain yield similar to hand weeding twice (30 and 50 DAT).
