Author(s): A. CHANDRAN AND R. KRISHNAN
Abstract:
The field experiment was executed to assess the effect of herbicide carriers on weed characteristics and the yield of transplanted rice during 2016-2017. The experiment was designed to evaluate two herbicides (Butachlor at the rate of 1 kg ha on 3 days after transplanting (DAT) and Pyrazosulfuron-ethyl at the rate of 30 g ha-1 on 3 DAT) and seven different herbicide carriers (dry sand, prilled urea, sawdust, charcoal powder, fly ash, talc powder and water). As per the obtained results, higher weed control and yield were found in the use of Butachlor @ 1 kg ha-1 on 3 DAT together with carrier material talc powder. Lower weed control and yield were recorded in the usage of Pyrazosulfuron-ethyl on 3 DAT at the rate of 30 g ha-1 along with the carrier material water.
