Effect of Crop Establishment Methods and Weed Management Practices on Productivity and Profitability of Clusterbean under Semi-arid Region of Rajasthan

Background: Adequate tillage checks and delays the emergence of weeds provides a more favourable environment for early crop establishment. Slow growth plant weeds. Cultural as well mechanical practices such hand weeding intercultural are effective but unavailability labour continuous rainfall in rainy season does not permit timely management Chemical weed control is option which It known that ubiquitous their presence cropped area particularly crops like clusterbean act major limiting factor achieving high potential yield. The current study aimed to impact establishment methods on productivity profitability clusterbean. Methods: A field experiment was carried out find suitable method during kharif seasons 2018, 2019 2020. conducted spilt plot design with three replications. treatments were four viz., conventional sowing, zero broad bed sowing mulch main plots weedy check, pendimethalin+imazethapyr 1000 g ha-1, T3- Imazethapyr 40 T4-Imazethapyr+imazamox ha-1 sub . Result: along pre-emergence application pendimethalin+ imazethapyr found achieve higher farm profitability.
