An experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during the period from June to December 2014 with a view to compare the efficacy of weeding method on the performance of transplanted aman rice varieties. Four transplanted aman rice varieties viz. Kalijira, BRRI dhan34, BRRI dhan52 and BRRI dhan64 and five different weeding treatments namely no weeding, two hand weeding at 20 & 40 days after transplanting (DAT), mechanical weeding by Japanese rice weeder at 20 and 40 DAT, soil applied pre-emergence herbicide Topstar 400 SP (Oxadiargyl 400 g/l) @ 190 ml ha-1 once at 3 days before transplanting and foliar applied post-emergence herbicide Manage @ 250g ha-1 at 6 days after transplanting were evaluated. The experiment was laid out in a split plot design assigning weed control method in the main plot and variety in the sub plot with three replications. Weed population was significantly influenced by variety and methods of weeding. The important weeds of the experimental plots were Digitaria sanguinalis, Leersia hexandra, Paspalum scrobiculatum, Echinochloa crusgalli, Monochoria vaginalis, Ludwigia hyssopifolia, Polygonum orientale, Eclipta alba, Marsilea crenata and Fimbristylis miliacea. The effect of weeding treatments on dry weight of weeds was significant. Hand weeding at 20 and 40 DAT showed the lowest dry weight of weeds followed by post-emergence herbicide Manage at 6 DAT and no weeding produced the highest dry weight of weeds. Among the weeding treatments hand weeding at 20 and 40 DAT performed the best for all the crop characters including grain yield (3.90 t ha-1) followed by the post-emergence herbicide manage and no weeding showed the lowest performance (3.06 t ha-1). Among the varieties, BRRI dhan34 produced the highest grain yield (4.33 t ha-1) and Kalijira yielded the lowest (2.04 t ha-1). The interaction between variety and weeding show that all the varieties produced higher grain yield with two hand weeding at 20 and 40 DAT than other weeding treatments. The results suggested that BRRI dhan34 might be grown with two hand weeding at 20 and 40 DAT as well as early post-emergence herbicide Manage for effective in controlling weeds and for better yield of transplant aman rice.Progressive Agriculture 27 (4): 418-427, 2016

A field experiment was laid out in split plot design on residual effect of treatments comprising three nitrogen levels viz. N75 (N1), N100 (N2) and N125 (N3) in main-plot treatments and seven weed control treatments viz. (W1-butachlor + 1 Hand Weeding, W2-butachlor + 2 Mechanical Weeding, W3-butachlor + 2,4-D, W4-bispyribac sodium, W5-butachlor + bispyribac sodium, W6-HW-2, W7- control) as sub-plot treatments conducted during 2015-16 and 2016-17 at the Rajaula Agriculture Farm, MGCGVV, Satna (M.P.) to study the residual effect of N-levels and weed control methods on growth, yield and economics of wheat grown after rice. In case of succeeding wheat, the residual 125 kg N/ha performed the best with respect to growth, yield-attributes with the result 31.11 q/ha grain yield and Rs.33509/ha income. While, under sub plot treatments, Hand weedings two times were recorded significant grain yield (28.66 q/ha) and straw yield (38.17 q/ha) at (P <0.05) over control. However it was found non-significant different and also noticed higher over rest treatments. In this succession, Butachlor + 2, 4-D (0.80 kg/ha) was higher but in second position and similar trend was observed in successive way with rest of treatments.

Dry direct seeded rice is an alternative to the farmers in the context of climate change and inputs scarcity especially labor. However, weeds are the major problem in dry direct seeded conditions competing with the different resources provided to the crop. Hence, field experiments were conducted for two consecutive years 2015 and 2016 in the experimental field of Rice Research Program, Hardinath, Dhanusha to identify the appropriate herbicides for DSR. The experiment was laid out in a split plot design and treatments were replicated thrice. Three varieties of rice namely Ciherang Sub-1, IET 16775 and Sukhkhadhan-3 were treated as main plot factors while five levels of weed control methods (Oxadiargyl @ 100 g a.i./ha as pre-emergence followed by Fenoxaprop @ 90 g a.i./ha with safener, Pendimethalin @ 1000 g a.i./ha as pre-emergence followed by Bispyribac sodium @ 25 g a.i/ha at three weeks after seeding, Pendimethalin @ 1000 g a.i./ha as pre-emergence followed by Pyrazosulfuron ethyl @ 25 g a.i.ha + Bispyribac sodium @ 25 g a.i./ha at three weeks after seeding, hand weeding and weedy check) were treated as sub-plot factors. The statistical analysis showed that the effect of weed control methods on yield and yield attributing parameters of the tested rice varieties was significant. Out of the tested treatments hand weeding yielded significantly higher grain yield (5.4 t/ha) followed by herbicides Pendimithalin fb Pyrazosulfuron ethyl + Bispyribac sodium; which reduced the weed density and was comparable with hand weeding. The interaction effect of weed control methods and varieties was found non-significant. Pendimithalin fb Pyrazosulfuron ethyl + Bispyribac sodium was found to control broad spectrum of weeds and also reduced the human labour drudgery and increasing the rice yield than the other herbicides in direct seeded rice.

Reduced productive rice fields to non-paddy fields, most possible extension of the nationalrice cultivation area to the suboptimal lands reaching ± 91.9 million ha. Technologypackages that can be applied include the use of new improved rice varieties through theassembling of varieties that have high yield potential, resistant to suboptimal soil stress. Theobjective of the research is to produce new superior rice varieties that are available invarious environments. The study used a split-plot design, as the main plot is an environmentconsisting of rice paddies and gogo, as a subplot is the genotype of rice. The treatment ineach environment is prepared using the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). Thetreatment consisted of 10 new rice strains and four varieties as a comparison. Variablesobserved (1) plant height; (2) the maximum number of shoots; (3) number of productiveshoots; (4) long panicle; (5) the number of grains per panicle; (6) the amount of graincontent of each panicle; (7) the number of empty grains per panicle; (8) weight of 1000grains of grain; (9) grain yield of each clump; (10) grain yield per hectare. Data wereanalyzed by variance if there was a difference between mean, median treatment, followed byLsd test at 5% level. The adaptability and yield stability of each strain was determined basedon the value of the coefficient of diversity (KK) (Francis and Kenneberg, 1978) in Syukur etal., (2012). The results showed that seven new rice strains had adaptations both planted asupland rice and lowland rice, namely strains B3, B4, F2, F3, H1, H4, and L2.

Intercropping combined with competitive maize cultivars can reduce the use of herbicides to control weeds. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of intercropping cowpea and maize, as well as hand-weeding on maize morphology and yield. The experimental design was in randomized complete blocks, with treatments arranged in split-plots and five replications. The plots consisted of four maize cultivars (BA 8512, BA 9012, EX 4001, EX 6004) and the split-plots consisted of the following treatments: no-weeding; twice hand-weeding (20 and 40 days after sowing); and intercropping with cowpea ('Sempre Verde' cultivar), both maize and cowpea sown at the same time. The variables evaluated were: maize fresh green ears and grain yield; characteristics of internodes, leaves, tassels, ears, grains; plant height and ear insertion height; number of weed plants and species; fresh and dry biomass of weed species and cowpea. Ten weed species were outstanding during the experiment, many of them from the Poaceae family. No interactions were found between weed control method and maize cultivars for most variables evaluated; and plants from hand-weeded split-plots showed superior mean values compared to plants from non-weeded and intercropped split-plots, both not differing from each other. The cowpea was inefficient in controlling weed, reducing the maize yields and not producing any grain. The maize cultivars 'BA 8512' and 'BA 9012 showed the highest mean green ear yield, and the highest grain yield in hand-weeded, no-weeded and intercropped split-plots. On the other hand, the maize cultivar 'EX 6004' showed such high means only in no-weeded and intercropped split-plots. 'EX 4001 presented the worst means in these variables for hand-weeded, no-weeded ant intercropped split-plots.

This study aims to determine the effect of regulating the provision of nitrogen fertilizer on several rice varieties on the growth and yield of rice in ratoon system at the Tidal swampland. A split plot design was employed in this experiment. The main plot was nitrogen fertilizer application (N) consisting of N1, N2, N3, and N4. The subplot is rice varieties (V) consisting of Inpari 30 (V1), Inpara 3 (V2), Inpari 33 (V3), Inpari 43 (V4) and Hipa 5 Ceva (V5). The results showed that ½ dose nitrogen fertilization given at planting + ½ dose at primordia had a good effect on the growth and yield of the main crop, whereas 1/3 dose nitrogen fertilization given at planting + 1/3 dose at primordia + 1/3 dose at harvest tends to have a good effect on ratoon yield. Variety Hipa 5 Ceva produced highest yield of unhusked rice (i.e. 4.9 tons ha-1 for the main crop and 2.71 tons ha-1 for ratoon) at (N3): 135 kg N ha-1 fertilizer, when ½ dose was given at planting + ½ dose at primordia. The variety Hipa 5 Ceva with various nitrogen fertilization strategies provided the highest total grain yield in the ratoon system at tidal swampland.

AbstractThe need to determine the minimum application rates of commonly used herbicides in Malete and the Guinea savanna of Nigeria for effective weed control and higher grain yield of maize, triggered this study. Therefore, field trials were conducted at the Teaching and Research Farm of Kwara State University, Malete, to determine the weed control method that will be more effective in controlling weeds and give higher grain yield and cash returns in the production of maize. The experiment consisted of 9 treatments viz: primextra (metolachlor plus atrazine) + 2,4-D at 1.5 + 1.5 kg active ingredient (a.i.).ha−1, primextra + 2,4-D at 2.0 + 2.0 kg a.i. ha−1, primextra + 2,4-D at 2.5 + 2.5 kg ha−1, primextra + nicosulfuron at 1.5 + 0.03 kg a.i. ha−1, primextra + nicosulfuron at 2.0 + 0.05 kg a.i. ha−1, primextra + niconsulfuron at 2.5 + 0.07 kg a.i. ha−1, primextra at 1.5 kg a.i. ha−1 + one Supplementary Hoe Weeding (SHW) at 6 Weeks After Sowing (WAS), two hand weeding at 3 and 6 Weeks After Sowing (WAS) and a weedy check. These treatments were laid out in randomised complete block design (RCBD) with three replicates. Data collected were subjected to analysis of variance using Statistical Analysis Software (SAS) package, after which means were separated using Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT). Results showed that treatment combinations of primextra + one SHW at 6 WAS, two hoe weeding at 3 and 6 WAS, primextra + 2,4-D at 2.0 + 2.0 kg a.i. ha−1 and primextra + nicosulfuron at 2.0+0.05 kg a.i. ha−1 gave effective weed control, higher grain yield and cash returns. Therefore, primextra at 1.5 kg a.i. ha−1 + one SHW at 6 WAS, primextra +2,4-D at 2.0 + 2.0 kg a.i. ha−1 and primextra + nicosulfuron at 2.0 + 0.05 kg a.i. ha−1 are recommended to farmers as alternative to two hoe weeding at 3 and 6 WAS.

An experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Field of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka-1207 during the period from November 2011 to March 2012 to evaluate the performance of prilled urea and urea super granules (USG) on the growth and yield of wheat varieties. The experiment comprised of four wheat varieties viz., BARI Gom 21, BARI Gom 24, BARI Gom 25 and BARI Gom 26, and five nitrogen (N) levels viz., control (no Nitrogen), 84 kg ha-1 N from USG, and 30, 50 and 70 kg N ha-1 from prilled urea i.e., 67, 112 and 155 kg urea ha-1. The experiment was laid out in a split-plot design with three replications where wheat varieties were placed in the main plot and nitrogenous fertilizers in sub-plots. Experimental results indicated that different varieties had the significant effect on plant height, number of tillers and dry weight plant-1, and number of grains spike-1, grain and straw yield, and harvest index. The variety BARI Gom 24 produced the highest grain yield (2.49 t ha-1) that mainly attributed by the maximum number of spikes plant-1, number of grains spike-1 and 1000-grain weight. Among the different nitrogenous fertilizers 84 kg N ha-1 from USG (1.8 g) gave the highest grain yield (2.69 t ha-1) due to the maximum number of spikes plant-1, maximum number of grains spike-1 and 1000-grain weight. The variety BARI Gom 24 produced the highest grain yield (2.80 t ha-1) with 80 kg N ha-1 from USG application.Bangladesh Agron. J. 2015, 18(1): 37-48
