Effect of Tillage, Fertilizer, and Herbicide Application on Height and Dry Biomass Development in Wheat Crop (Triticum aestivum L.)

The experiment was conducted at Research farm of Bhrahmanand P.G. College Rath, Hamirpur (U.P.) during rabi season of 2017-18 and 2018-19 to study the impact of tillage, nutrients and herbicides on wheat. The results of experiment indicated that maximum weed density and weed dry matter was recorded in conventional tillage as compared to zero tillage, while plant height and dry matter accumulation of wheat was also recorded maximum in conventional tillage as compared to zero tillage. Among herbicides, application sulfosulfuron 25g/ha + metsulfuron 4g/ha reduced the density and dry matter of weeds at all stages compared to other treatments of herbicides, while maximum plant height and dry matter accumulation of wheat was improved by sulfosulfuron 25g/ha + metsulfuron 4g/ha. The application of nutrients did not influence the density of weeds before spray. While application of 30kg sulphur + 5kg zinc significantly increased weed density and dry matter at all crop growth stages and it was also improved plant height and dry matter accumulation of wheat as compared to other nutrient treatments.
