Type: article
Abstract: A field experiment entitled “Effect of date of sowing and weed management on weed and yield of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)” was conducted on loamy sand soil at Research Farm, School of Agriculture, Suresh Gyan Vihar University, Jaipur during Rabi 2025-26 seasons. The treatments in barely during rabi seasons comprising 15 combinations having three sowing time 20th Nov, 30th Nov and 10th Dec and five weed management treatments (weedy check, weed free, one hand weeding 30 DAS, Metsulfuron methyl @ 4.0 g/ha at 30 DAS and Carfentrazone ethyl @ 20 g/ha at 30 DAS treatments was laid out in a spilt randomized block design with three replications. The maximum seed, straw, biological yield as well as net return and B : C ratio was recorded with 20th November sowing, and followed by 30th November sowing. Maximum seed, straw and biological were recorded with application of one hand weeding @ 30 DAS (92.75, 67.07 and 60.38 % at 30, 60 DAS and harvest) followed by carfentrazone ethyl @ 20 g/ha at 30 DAS (66.60, 45.27 and 42.60 %) and metsulfuron methyl @ 4.0 g/ha at 30 DAS (60.85, 53.92 and 52.60 per cent), respectively. The highest net return and B : C ratio were recorded under the weed-free treatment, which was significantly superior to the weedy check, one hand weeding @ 30 DAS, metsulfuron methyl @ 4.0 g ha⁻¹ at 30 DAS and carfentrazone ethyl @ 20 g ha⁻¹ at 30 DAS.
