Effect of Integrated Weed Management Practices on Growth, Physiology and Yield of Direct Sown Finger Millet (Eleusine coracana L.)

To determine “Effect of integrated weed management practices in direct sown finger millet”. The field experiment was conducted during rabi 2022 at South Farm, Karunya Institute Technology and Sciences, Coimbatore. soil the experimental sandy clay loam texture, pH 6.9, level organic content (0.37%), available N (336 kg ha-1), P (91 ha-1) K (261 ha-1). laid out completely randomized block design. T1 (PE pendimethalin @ 0.75 ha-1 8 DAS + Hand weeding (HW) 35 DAS), T2 (PoE 2,4-D 2 40 T3 pretilachlor T4 Twin wheel hoe (TWHW) 30 T5 T6 T7 (Hand 25 T8 (Twin T9 T10 (Unweeded control). result shows that control significantly decreases weeds also higher infestation observed PE 0.75kg DAS. maximum dry matter production, CGR, RGR, NPK uptake grain yield (2368 were found From this study it is concluded application pre emergence herbicide along with twin weeder increases crop growth yield.
