Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: Background: This research aims to analyze the effects of IWM strategies on growth, nodulation and nutrient uptake in Trigonella foenum-graecum L. under Haryana conditions. Methods: Field experiments were conducted for two successive years with Trigonella foenum-graecum L. sown at Agronomy Research farm (29°10'N, 75°46'E), CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, Haryana during 2018-19 and 2019-20 to investigate the impact of factors on growth and economics of Trigonella foenum-graecum L. Result: Among the integrated treatments, application of pendimethalin + imazethapyr (RM) at 1500 g ha-1 + one hoeing at 3-4 leaf stage recorded maximum nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium uptake by seed and haulm and was found to be at par with weed free check. PRE pendimethalin + imazethapyr (RM) at 1500 g ha-1 + one hoeing at 3-4 leaf stage provided highest net returns (Rs. 27,579 ha-1) and highest B: C (2.13) was observed in PRE pendimethalin + imazethapyr (RM) at 1500 g ha-1, respectively. This article aims to document the role of IWM and concludes that coupling pendimethalin and imazethapyr and supplementing them with one hand hoeing will provide effective weed management.
