Weed Control, Growth, Nodulation, Quality and Storability of Peas as Affected by Pre- and Postemergence Herbicides

Weeds represent a major constraint for successful pea cultivation, resulting in loss of green yield and quality. Two field experiments were carried out during the winter seasons 2018/2019 2019/2020. The objectives current study to evaluate efficacy pendimethalin, butralin, fluazifop butyl, bentazon, hoeing on weed control, their impact growth, nodule formation, yield, quality, storability. results indicated that butyl most effective treatments control terms lowest values total dry weight. bentazon herbicides didn’t affect active nodules number, plant height, weight, root length, or number leaves branches. Additionally, resulted highest per protein content. Butralin pendimetalin achieved butralin also height Bentazon-treated peas had chemical compositions chlorophyll, carotenoids, sugar, vitamin C contents pods at harvest cold storage 4 °C 95 RH 45 days. No detectable residues four under detected pods, suggesting can be safely consumed time harvesting. It concluded formation was not affected significantly by application tested herbicides, except pendimethalin butralin. Furthermore, positive quality could used effectively controlling broadleaf weeds, it simultaneously selective safe herbicide cultivation.
