Abstract

In order to control the weeds in garlic, field experiment was carried out to study the integrated approaches to control the complex weed flora in garlic during rabi season of 2015. Pendimethalin 1.0 kg/ha PE and oxyfluorfen 0.223 kg/ha PE along with paddy straw mulch 5 t/ha were found effective in reducing density and dry biomass of monocot, dicot and total weeds and also registered higher bulb yield, net returns as well as B: C ratio as compared to other weed management practices.
