In kinnow mandarin, weed control is desirable during fruit development period to minimize yield losses. The efficacy of different herbicides was evaluated in Kinnow mandarin at Ludhiana during 2017 and 2018. Application of paraquat 720g/ha plus carfentrazone 20g/ha in combination achieved significant control of diverse weed flora upto 75 days after treatment and gave the highest fruit yield and quality. This herbicide combination treatment also had highest plant leaf macronutrients as well as micronutrients.
