Response of Intercropping Patterns and Weed Management Under Chickpea + Coriander (coriandrum Sativum) Intercropping System: Yield and Economic Analysis
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: A field experiment was carried out to select the best possible chickpea + coriander intercropping ratio in order to suppress maximum numbers of weed growth without having to compromise with the grain yield.The experiment was laid out in split-plot design with four main plot treatments and four sub plot treatments.Lowest densities of grasses (35.52 and 26.57no./m 2 ) sedges (5.52 and 5.20 no./m 2 ) and broadleaf weeds (20.70 and 18.68 no./m 2 ) at 30 and 50 das was recorded in m 2 -chickpea+ coriander (3:1) and s 2 -pendimethalin 33% @ 1000 g/ha as pe fb one hoeing at 30 das recorded significantly lower weed density of grasses and sedges (25.19 and 3.58 no./m 2 ) respectively among the weed management practices.M 2 -chickpea + coriander (3:1) recorded significantly lower weed dry weight at both 30 (27.01 g/m 2 ) and 50 das (31.67 g/m 2 ) and s 2 -pendimethalin 33% @ 1000 g/ha as pe fb one hoeing at 30 das among the weed management practices at 30 and 50 das (24.41 and 12.64 g/m 2 ).Weed control efficiency (WCE) was significantly influenced by both, intercropping and weed management practices.M 4chickpea + coriander (5:2) and m 2 -chickpea + coriander (3:1) recorded maximum WCE at 30 and 50 das (16.35 % and 49.81 %) and s 2 -pendimethalin 33% @ 1000 g/ha as pe and one hoeing at 30 and 50 das successfully registered maximum WCE at 30 and 50 das (26.97 % and 80.65 %).
