Abstract:

A field study in turmeric was conducted at Department of Agronomy, College of Agriculture, O.U.A.T during kharif, 2014 with seven weed management treatments including control and was replicated three times in Randomised Block Design. The results revealed that application of Propaquizafop (P) @ 150g ha-1 produced significantly the highest fresh and cured rhizome yield of 299.70 and 51.46 q ha-1, respectively with corresponding highest values of leaf area index (1.25), leaf area duration (36.90), rhizome (46.17g plant-1) and root (9.01g plant-1) dry weight, respectively.
