Enhancing Profitability and Yield Potential of Weed Controlling in Green Gram (Vigna radiata L.) under Central Plains of Punjab

Background: The first 30 DAS are crucial for the green gram crop while competing with weeds. Weed competition light, water, nutrients and space has an impact on development growth of crops. Green yield loss is reduced by weed about 50–80%. switch unwanted plant throughout early stages crucial. Methods: methodology was lead in two successive years Kharif, 2021 2022 eight weed-controlling treatments were used RBD. count each plot remained measured field using quadrates measuring 25 cm x cm. weight seeds, straw dry biomass weeds weighing balance. collected samples determined attributes, net monetary returns. Result: consequences finding minimum population (6.01 m-2) (0.37 g m-2), maximum control effectiveness (87.51%), achieve characteristics instance number pods per (21.26), grains pod (11.99), test (32.86 g), yields (24.48 q ha-1) noted Pendimethalin (1000 2 (PE) combined Imazethapyr (50 (PoE). It can be extremely active to upper seed (7.25 profits (₹ 36738 besides higher benefit cost ratio (1:96 respectively) gram.
