Abstract

A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of integrated weed management in irrigated wheat. The study revealed that weed free treatment recorded least number of weeds closely followed by Isoproturon @0.75kg/ha+2, 4-D @0.5kg/ha+1 IC then rest of treatments and also found the best in terms of reducing weed population & weed dry weight at different stages of crop growth. Weed free treatment also showed maximum grain and straw yield with the highest no. of tillers/m2, ear length, grains/spike and test weight of wheat crop followed by Isoproturon @0.75kg/ha+2, 4-D @0.5kg/ha+1 IC and Isoproturon @ 0.75kg/ha +2, 4-D @0.5kg/ha.
