Bio efficacy and phytotoxicity evaluation of premixed fomesafen plus quizalofop ethyl for weed control in soybean

Soybean is the most important oil seeds crop in many states of the country as a rain fed crop in kharif season, in terms of total production and international trades. However, losses due to weeds have been one of the major limiting factors in soybean production. So, successful weed control is one of the most important practices for economical soybean production. An experiment was laid out at the instructional farm of Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Ujjain to evaluate the efficacy of premix herbicide which could control both the grassy and broad leaf weeds. Use of fomesafen 12 % + quizalofop 3% w/w SC at different concentrations ranging from 1125 to 3000 ml ha^-1 as post emergence reduced the weed density, increased weed control efficiency and yield apart from no phototoxic effect on plants and succeeding crop of garden pea.
