Question

Oxyfluorfen controls which weeds in rice

Answer 1

A field experiment was conducted during rainy seasons of 2009 and 2010 at Kalyani C-Block Farm of BCKV, Mohanpur, West Bengal, to evaluate the bio-efficacy of oxyfluorfen and its impact on soil microorganisms and succeeding crop in direct seeded rice. The experiment was carried out with 7 treatments viz. T 1 , Control (no weeding); T 2 , Check-oxyfluorfen @ 200 g/ha; T 3 , Oxyfluorfen @ 150 g/ha; T 4 , Oxyfluorfen @ 200 g/ha; T 5 , Oxyfluorfen @ 250 g/ha; T 6 , Oxyfluorfen @ 300 g/ha; T 7 , Oxyfluorfen @ 400 g/ha. The results showed that the treatment T 7 controlled the weeds most effectively which produced the highest seed yield. The micro-flora population was affected after application of herbicides, but later it reached to a higher level. There was no influenced on the succeeding crop in terms of plant population, but T 4 treatment resulted in higher yield of all the succeeding crops.
