Background: Blackgram is an important crop among kharif pulses and is usually grown on marginal and sub-marginal lands without proper weed management under rainfed situation. Broad bed furrows had greater influence on plant growth over farmers practice. Weed management through mechanical or manual is normally tedious, labour consuming and costlier. Keeping this in view, the present study was envisaged to investigate integrated effect of land configuration and weed management regimes on productivity of urdbean. Methods: A field experiment was carried out during kharif seasons of 2016 and 2017 at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Lam, Guntur on effect of land configuration and weed management on performance of urdbean (Vigna mungo L.Hepper). The treatments included two land configurations i.e., flat bed and broad bed furrow method allotted as horizontal plots and four weed management practices i.e., weedy check, pendimethalin 30 EC @ 1.0 kg a.i ha-1 PE, imazethapyr 10% SL @ 55 g ha-1 at 15-20 DAS and pendimethalin 30 EC @ 1.0 kg a.i ha-1 PE fb imazethapyr 10% SL @ 55g ha-1 at 15-20 DAS allotted as vertical plots replicated four times in a strip plot design. The comparison of treatment means was made by critical difference (CD) at P less than 0.05 by using standard statistical procedures. Result: Based on the results, it can be concluded broad bed method of land configuration proved its superiority over flat bed method by producing 12.8 per cent higher grain yield besides empowering growth and yield attributes. Among the weed management practices, the highest grain yield (1280 kg ha-1) recorded with pendimethalin 30 EC @ 1.0 kg a.i ha-1 PE fb imazethapyr 10% SL @ 55g ha-1 at 15-20 DAS along with maximum monetary returns and B:C can be recommended for urdbean.

Tujuan penelitian adalah mempelajari pengaruh interaksi antara dosis pupuk organik cair dan jarak tanamterhadap pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman sorgum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench). Penelitian dilakukan di StasiunLapangan Fakultas Pertanian, Universitas Padjadjaran, Jatinangor Jawa Barat. Lokasi ini memiliki ketinggiansekitar 760 meter di atas permukaan laut, tipe tanah inseptisol dan tipe iklim Oldeman C3 pada tahun 2012.Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) dengan pola faktorial, dua faktor perlakuan dantiga ulangan. Faktor pertama adalah dosis pupuk organik cair yang terdiri dari tiga taraf: 1,5 l / ha; 3 l / ha; dan 6l / ha. Faktor kedua adalah jarak tanam yang terdiri dari tiga taraf: 25 cm x 25 cm; 50 cm x 25 cm; dan 75 cm x 25cm. Pengamatan terdiri dari komponen hasil dan hasil tanaman sorgum. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwaantara jarak tanam dan dosis pupuk cair memberikan efek interaksi terhadap berat malai sorgum. Perlakuan pupukorganik cair dengan dosis 6 l / ha dan jarak tanam pada level 50 cm x 25 cm memberikan efek terbaik terhadapberat malai sorgum (94,90 g). Pengaruh mandiri jarak tanam pada level 50 cm x 25 cm memberikan hasil terbaikterhadap bobot biji per tanaman (71,31 g). Perlakuan pupuk organik cair dan jarak tanam memberikan efek yangsama terhadap panjang malai, berat 1000 butir, persentase bobot biji per tanaman, indeks panen, dan hasil perlahan.Kata kunci: pupuk organik cair, jarak tanam, hasil, sorgumABSTRACTThe objective of research was to study the effect of interaction between dosage of liquid organic fertilizerand plant spacing on growth and yield of Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench). Research was carried out atAgriculture Faculty Field Station, Padjadjaran University, Jatinangor West Java. The site has an altitude about760 meter above sea level, inceptisols soil type and C3 climate type of Oldeman in 2012. The experiment used aRandomized Block Design (RBD) with factorial pattern, two factor of treatment and three replications. The Firstfactor was dosage of liquid organic fertilizer which consist of three levels: 1,5 l/ha; 3 l/ha; dan 6 l/ha. The Secondfactor was plant spacing consist of three levels: 25 cm x 25 cm; 50 cm x 25 cm; and 75 cm x 25 cm. Observationsconsist of components of yield and yield of sorghum plants. The results of this experiment showed that betweenplant spacing and dosage of liquid fertilizer give an interaction effect to panicle weight of sorghum. Treatment ofliquid organic fertilizer at dosage 6 l/ha and plant spacing at level 50 cm x 25 cm gave the best effects on panicleweight sorgum (94,90 g). Single effect treatment of plant spacing at level 50 cm x 25 cm gave the best result tograin weight per plant (71,31 g). Treatment of liquid organic fertilizer and plant spacing give the same effect topanicle length, weight of 1000 grain, percentage of kernels weight per plant, harvest index, and yield per field.Key words: liquid organic fertilizer, plant space, yield, sorgum

This research was conducted to investigate the effect of different herbicides with weed management practices on growth and yield performance of mungbean genotypes. The experiment consisted of two factors were mungbean genotypes and weed management. There were two genotypes namely BARI Mung 6 and BARI Mung 8. While there were five weed management practices namely control/no weeding and without herbicide application (T1), hand weeding at 20 and 40 DAS (T2), pre emergence herbicide (Panida) at 1-2 DAS (T3), pre emergence herbicide (Neon) at 2-3 DAS (T4), and post emergence herbicide (Neon) at 10-15 DAS+hand weeding (T5). The results revealed that BARI Mung 6 stand superior to BARI Mung 8 in respect of dry matter content/plant, pods/plant, seeds/plant, seed yield, and 1000 seed weight. Among weed management practices, maximum plant height (53.70 cm), dry matter weight/plant (17.96 g), pods/plant (18.31), seeds/plant (171.47), maximum weed control efficiency (33.78 %) obtained from T3 treatment. Based on the interaction effect showed that BARI Mung 6 weeded with pre emergence herbicide (Panida) at 1-2 DAS produced maximum seed yield (1.79 t/ha) as well as yield attributes showed 2.29 % higher seed yield.

This study assessed the effect of petrol and spent lubricating oil on the major growth traits (such as root length, stem length, leaf area, and biomass), and the changes in epidermal layer of leaf and its mitotic index in Guinea Corn (<em>Sorghum bicolor</em> L.) exposed to 0% (control), 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% concentrations of petrol and spent lubricating oil. Each concentration was mixed with 3 kg of soil in a plastic pot and each treatment was carried out in three replicates. Forty days after planting, the leaf areas of guinea corn plant were 95.83 cm2, 89.67 cm2, 89.47 cm2, and 77.80 cm2 in control, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% respectively of petrol pollutant. The means of stem length were 32.50±0.5 cm, 22.60±0.65 cm, 21.27±0.75 cm, 20.83±0.28 cm and 20.33±0.28 cm in control, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% respectively. Both leaf area and stem length of treated seedlings reduced with increased concentration of the pollutants. Additionally, reduction in the dry weight of the seedlings increased with increasing concentration of both petrol and spent oil. The micrograph of the internal anatomy of the upper epidermal layers of the leaf revealed broken and scattered epidermal cells and smaller sizes of the stomata, and were increased with the increasing concentration of the treatment. Statistical analysis of the treatment shows that there was a significant reduction (P&lt;0.05) in the stem length and leaf area of the seedlings. This study revealed that petroleum pollutant adversely affected germination, growth and development of guinea corn but petroleum products like spent oil can provide nutrition necessary for growth and yield of plant at low concentration.
