Effect of different weed management practices on production of spring maize in Dang, Nepal

The study was carried out at Lamahi-8, Satbariya, Dang to evaluate the effect of different weed management practices on production spring maize. experiment in a Randomized Complete Block Design using three replications and seven treatments. Rampur hybrid 10 variety early post emergence (EPoE) herbicide were used experiment. treatment consisted single as well combined methods T1: Broadcasting-One hand weeding, T2: Broadcasting-Herbicide, T3: Line sown- One T4: sown-Herbicide + one T5: Mini tiller weeder, T6: mini T7: weeding tiller. result showed that application resulted highest grain yield (8.62 Mt/ha) with minimum total density 60 DAS (41.33/m2) harvest (68/m2) thus resulting dry weight (5.45 g/m2) (10.64 g/m2). Sixteen species belonging 9 families identified experimental field. benefit: cost (3.37) obtained weeder which significantly higher compared other Among treatments applied, combination found be most effective weight, biological benefit ratio proving economical one. At same time, method next better alternative for control maize could farmers comparison practices.
