Author(s): B.Venkatesh and Y. S. Parameswari
Abstract: A field investigation to ascertain bio-assay of rice herbicides on subsequent pulse crop was taken up at College Farm, College of Agriculture, PJTSAU, Rajendranagar, during the kharif-2019 with twelve treatments in randomized block design and repeated three times. From the experiment it was confirmed that, there was no phytotoxicity symptoms in transplanted rice after imposition of all novel herbicide compounds and there was no carryover effect on subsequent crop recorded in terms of germination percentage, height of plant and crop dry weight production. All the herbicides used in the study were also found safe without any residual effect and minimal environmental impact on succeeding crop making them a fit choice in rice-based cropping systems.
