Effect of Weed Control Practices for Yield and Yield Attributing Traits in Direct Seeded Rice

Direct seeding of rice is the most traditional technique, having been the primary method used in developing nations prior to 1950. In India, dry sowing occurs in lowland, upland, and rain-fed regions, whereas wet sowing is a prevalent practice under irrigated circumstances. The current research during both season of 2023 and 2024 at Research Farm of LNCT University, Bhopal (M.P.). This investigation included twelve treatments of rice variety – Kranti in randomized block design (RBD) with three replications. During Kharif season 2023 and 2024, significantly highest yield parameters i.e., number of panicle/m2, number of grains/panicle, number of fertile grains/panicle, panicle length (cm), test weight (g), grain yield (q/ha) and straw yield (q/ha) were recorded with T9. Treatment T9 {Pretilacholr 750 g/ha (2 DAS) fb Bispyribac sodium 20 g /ha (20 DAS)} is recommended for farmers under Bhopal region of Madhya Pradesh, because it results in better yield and higher profits, making it a good and economical option for improving direct seeded rice production.
