Abstract

Field efficacy of ready mix formulation of clodinafop-propargyl + metsulfuron-methyl was evaluated against mixed weed flora in wheat during winter seasons of 2010–11 and 2011–12 at Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana. The results indicated that ready-mix of clodinafop+ metsulfuron at 75 g/ha + 0.2% surfactant recorded effective control of grass and broadleaf weeds and recorded similar wheat grain yield to sequential application of clodinafop 60 g/ha and metsulfuron 4 g/ha and weed free without any phytotoxicity symptoms on the crop.
