Effect of Pendimethalin and Imazethapyr on yield and soil properties in Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)

摘要

A field experiment was conducted at College of Agriculture, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad in kharif 2011 to study effect of Pendimethalin and Imazethapyr on yield and soil properties in groundnut. Results indicated that, despite better weed control achieved in Imazethapyr double dose treatment, highest pod yield was recorded in Imazethapyr at recommended dose where seed inoculation was done compared to Imazethapyr double dose. Usage of Pendimethalin and Imazethapyr at recommended and double the recommended doses did not adversely affect the soil physical, physicochemical and fertility properties.
