Abstract
Field experiments were conducted to study the effect of integrated weed management practices in cotton. The experiments were laid in split plot design with five main plot treatments (off –season land management practices) viz., fallow, pressmud application, glyphosate spraying, twice summer ploughing and soil solarization with TPE of 0.05 mm thickness for 40 days and six sub – plot treatments (cropping – season weed management practices) viz., unweeded check, twice hand weeding at 25 and 45 DAS, pre – sowing soil incorporation of fluchloralin 1.5 kg/ha, fluchloralin 0.75 kg/ha + intercropping (Black gram), fluchloralin 0.75 kg/ha+ mulching with sugarcane trash on 21 DAS, fluchloralin 0.75 kg/ha + one hand weeding on 45 DAS and the treatments were replicated thrice. Results of the experiments revealed that the off – season soil solarization with transparent white polyethylene sheets followed by pre soil incorporation of fluchloralin 0.75 kg/ha + black gram intercropping performed the best in recording the least total weed parameters, the highest yield parameters, mean seed cotton yield and net income.
