Bioefficacy of Tritluralin on Weeds in Groundnut at Burdwan District, West Bengal

Bioefficacy of various doses of trifluralin was compared with hand weeding, fluchloralin and pendimethalin in groundnut at Burdwan district, West Bengal, India. Trifluralin at 1080 g ha−1 and pendimethalin at 1125 g ha−1 were equally effective in reducing weed density and weed dry weight. Pendimethalin at 1125 g ha−1 and trifluralinat 1080 g ha−1 had the best and at par effect followed by hand weeding twice (20 and 40 DAS) on pods/plant, kernel test weight and pod yield of groundnut.
